Wedding Gown Safety Shipping
Will my wedding gown be safe during the shipping process?
We understand the irreplaceable value of your wedding gown. That's why our preservation kit includes shipping insurance, offering peace of mind in unforeseen circumstances. Our track record of over 3 million satisfied brides speaks for itself—with zero reported lost or damaged gowns in transit—and we go the extra mile to ensure your dress arrives safely.
How will I know if my gown arrives in your preservation area?
For complete peace of mind, we assign a unique tracking number to your gown. Our user-friendly GownTracker allows you to check the status of your dress 24/7. When it arrives at our preservation facility, we will conduct its expert cleaning and preservative process and track its closed return.
Will the applied treatments harm the fabric of my wedding gown?
Our state-of-the-art SystemK4 cleaning technology prioritizes the safety of your gown. This 100% non-toxic process gently cleans even delicate fabrics, sequins, beading, and other embellishments commonly found on wedding dresses. Unlike harsh chemicals, SystemK4 utilizes non-hazardous materials, ensuring the well-being of your gown and the environment.

At Wedding Gown Preservation, we understand the emotional significance of your dress. We follow rigorous SOPs to guarantee the finest care and safe delivery. Trust us with your gown.
Difference Between the Preservation Kits
How traditional differ from celebrity wedding gown preservation kits?
Celebrity Kit is intended for luxurious designer gowns and suggested for silk or high-end custom-made gowns. The celebrity preservation kit has a silver embossed box. Instead of steam pressing, hand pressing is applied. Lastly, Traditional kit has $2,000 shipping insurance, while Celebrity kit has $3,000 shipping insurance.
In your cleaning procedure, what is the difference between the traditional package and the celebrity package?
There is no difference between spot cleaning and dry cleaning. Both packages receive equal quantities of care and are treated like royalty.

100 Year -Lifetime Warranty
What does your 100-year warranty cover?
Our 100-year warranty guarantees your dress stays bright white! If it ever yellows, you can contact us, and we'll re-clean and preserve it for free.
If I accidentally open the box and reseal it, will it void the warranty?
Your warranty will be valid even if you open the preservation kit. We provide "sealing squares" to reseal the seams. Do not take your gown out of the Preservation Chest completely as this could void your 100-year warranty.
