Both before and after a wedding, there are many financial considerations, so it is not uncommon for a bride to question if preserving her gown is a good idea.Winzer Cleaners, as the premier source for wedding dress cleaning and preservation in NYC, we advise that it is always a sound consideration for many reasons. Generally, the biggest regret in hindsight for those who did not have their bridal gown preserved, is that you did not take the time and the relatively few dollars to both preserve the memento of your wedding day as well as a future family heirloom. Years later, you may decide to renew your vows and wish to wear your wedding gown once again. That is when all too many brides discover that their dress has not withstood the test of time as well as their marriage!
One of the best reasons to have Winzer Cleaners, as the go-to establishment for wedding dress preservation in NYC, is the care and treatment your gown will undergo to ensure that it remains as exquisite and beautiful as you remember it. That is because, if not properly preserved using carefully established techniques, your treasured gown will begin to degrade. If exposed to UV light, many fibers, and even embellishments will break down. A stain from an unseen splash of champagne will darken in time and become set into the fabric, therefore difficult to remove entirely. Sweat stains, too, can cause fabric discoloration and degradation. The end result is a once fine garment that now requires major resuscitation by skilled cleaning professionals in hopes of returning the dress to presentable condition. Also, these 11th hour efforts will not be inexpensive, and could have been completely avoided.
Decades from now, you may have a daughter or even granddaughter who asks to wear your wedding dress on her special day. What an honor that will be- but only if you have carefully preserved and stored your gown. As you can see, there are many reasons why you should reconsider and entrust Winzer with your wedding gown preservation. In NYC and the surrounding area we are known for our skill, attention to detail, and superior customer service. It is true, make no mistake, that wedding dress preservation in NYC is a service that is an investment. However, consider its initial cost, the joy you felt when you wore it to your nuptials, and realize that your gown can have a second, third, and many more ‘lives’ well into the future if it is preserved today.
Winzer Cleaners takes great care in our bridal dress preservation process, however this does not mean that your dress will be entombed until its next wearing. Once we present you with your preserved gown in its acid-free box covered in a muslin wrap for extra protection, you may remove it at any time to view, show off proudly to family and friends, or even to try it on once again. As long as it is carefully returned to its box and wrappings, all will be well.
