Who will be the next to wear your exquisite gown?
Your elegant gown is a living heirloom, and with proper care can be passed down to
another generation. You are protecting your investment by properly preserving of your expensive
perfect wedding gown!!
Guests will be drawn to you, like a magnet, leaving deposits on your romantic gown! Keep
in mind, your dress may appear to look clean but it isn't.... Body oils, perfume, invisible
sugars from frosting or champagne may caramelize and turn brown over time if left
unclean. Plastic bags will cause your gown to yellow, develop brown streaks, or stretch. So
if you plan to keep your gown exquisite, have it preserved soon after the wedding. It is
much easier on your gown if spots are removed right after the wedding.
Gown preservation includes:
- Your gown is professionally and properly cleaned.
.
-Acid-free, lignin-free tissue is placed between the layers of your dress.
-The dress is wrapped in a triple washed unbleached cotton muslin liner that protects your gown. Then placed in a museum quality, specialty boxes are archival grade, twin-walled to ensure storage environment-free from dust, light, excess humidity and temperature. The box is by nature acid-free.
-Cotton gloves and instructions are included for storage and re-packing your gown should you want to remove it from the box.
-Cotton muslin cover designed to embellished by custom monogramming of your new
name and wedding date!

reassurance!

How do I preserve my dress?
Just assign one of your attendants, friends, or family members to bring in your treasured
gown the day after the wedding along with the bouquet to be preserved at Renaissance
Rose.
Gowns
should be treated with true preservation as soon as possible
before stains have time to set and sugar begins to caramelize.
DO NOT keep gowns in plastic bags because plastic emits fumes
that may yellow your gown. Never store gowns in the attic,
garage, basement, or storage shed where there are extreme
changes in the temperature and humidity.
***IMPORTANT:
DO NOT clean your gown BEFORE you bring it in to
be preserved! Cleaning is done before the preservation with
both of these services.
