where did you have your wedding dress cleaned/preserved?

my wedding was in june and my poor dress has been hanging in its bag since. it is really dirty underneath from dragging in the bar of the hotel after the reception. i feel like i really need to get it cleaned before the dirt becomes permanent. i don't have any good cleaners in my area... maybe i'm being too picky. where did you bring yours? i'm about an hour west of boston but i think i'm willing to travel if its someplace trustworthy. TIA!

Anniversary

Re: where did you have your wedding dress cleaned/preserved?

  • I've seen www.wedclean.com recommended so many times I don't know if I can count that high.  No personal experience, but everyone seems happy with them.
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • Um, yeah, my wedding was 2 years ago next month and my dress is still uncleaned/unpreserved in its bag in the closet.

    I've also seen WedClean recommend and that's probably who I will use when I finally get around to doing it.

  • I never had mine cleaned.  I wear it around the house from time to time.

    So this is super silly, but one of my SILs is getting married so she tried on my dresses a few weeks ago.   I actually have two because we had two weddings.  Anyways one thing leads to another and I ended up wearing one dress another SIL wore another, and we broke out the old slip-n-slide.  We ended up slipping and sliding in the gowns.  So silly I know, but so fun.

  • thanks for the suggestion! i plan on wearing mine around the house once in a while i just don't want to drag the gross bar dirtyness all over my house.

  • Almost 3 years and I haven't had mine cleaned.  I should wear it around the house just to get some use out of it.  It's so pretty and I have no excuse to wear it.
  • That is why I haven't had my dress cleaned or preserved. I want to wear it again before doing that, but I didn't put it on for our 1st anniversary and we'll be away for the 2nd. I'm not sure if I really want to do a TTD session either.

    LOL, we'd be getting so many strange looks!

    And the Slip 'n' Slide?  Freakin' hilarious!  We must meet, I think we'd have a lot of fun together :)  I really hope you got pics of that little escapade (and if so, I fully expect you to share them here)!
