Wedding dress cleaning/preservation

Hi Ladies,

I'm new to the nest, but have been on the knot for a bit.  I got married in October and am getting around to the cleaning and preservation of my dress finally.  Any good local suggestions in the Tempe/Chandler/Ahwatukee/South Phoenix area?  Thanks in advance!

    Change August 07 to Nov 05, and hanging in closet to wadded up in a heap in the garage, and this is me.

     In other words, I have no idea.

  • Congrats and my mom took mine to just a local place in South Phoenix. Now its in the bag it came in, in the back of my closet.

    The place is on 7th Street and Baseline in the Fry's shopping center. I dont know the name of it but they cleaned it well and it was like $130 for it. They always do a good job on our clothes. Been going to them since HS.

  • I know David's bridal will clean and preserve the dress but I am not sure if it is only if you purchase through them.  Maybe check them out. =)

    p.s. welcome to the nest, I am a fellow Oct bride as well, I really need to take my dress in too =)

  • Now I feel a little less bad that I still haven't gotten my dress cleaned 6 months later. Though I am keeping it hung up waiting for my rock the dress shoot eventually and will get it cleaned and preserved through Uptown Bridal in Chandler but only because I bought it there.

    I would call around a couple bridal shops in your area and ask who they recommend.

  • SO very glad I am not the only one.  Back of closet for me too!  :)

  • Maybe we can negotiate a group rate to get them all cleaned at the same time lol.

    seriously. my problem is that it's so expensive to get cleaned, for it to just sit there in a box. since i want a girl so bad i will probably have all boys...and even if i did have a girl i wouldn't expect her to wear it. i'm sure things will be different by then. i really should just sell the thing.

  • Haha, well it sounds like I should just go with the trend and stick in the closet for a few years.  It does seem silly to preserve it for probably no one, but I feel like I shouldn't sell it.  Hmm.  Thanks ladies!

    Do you watch the RHoBH? Because Adrianne Maloof has hers hung in this large glass box on the wall in her bedroom. She has a really huge room, but I think it looks rather tacky!

    Interesting.  I can only imagine what my husbnd would say if I told him that was the plan!
