Wedding gown restoration
Not every gown arrives immediately after the wedding. Many have spent years, or even decades, in storage before being professionally cleaned. Our specialists regularly restore: vintage wedding gowns, family heirloom dresses, yellowed fabrics, oxidized stains, antique lace, delicate silk, beaded gowns, and long-stored bridal garments. Every restoration begins with an honest evaluation. While results depend on the age, condition, and fabric of each gown, we’ll always discuss realistic expectations before any work begins.

Preservation Explained
After cleaning, many brides choose to preserve their gown to help protect it from environmental factors such as dust, light exposure, discoloration, and aging during long-term storage. Bridgestone Cleaners offers two preservation options depending on your goals for the gown. Our cleaning specialists carefully treat stains and remove impurities, restoring your dress to its original beauty. Once cleaned, the gown is expertly steamed and placed in an acid-free, museum-quality preservation chest. This protective packaging helps shield it from dust, mildew, discoloration, and light damage. Trust Bridgestone Cleaners to preserve your cherished gown so it can be treasured for generations.
Museum-Quality Preservation
Our most comprehensive preservation option is performed through the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists and is designed for long-term protection and heirloom storage. Each preserved gown is carefully prepared using archival-quality materials and placed in a museum-quality preservation chest designed to help maintain the gown’s condition for years to come.
Museum-quality preservation includes:
- Lifetime guarantee
- Archival-quality preservation materials
- Long-term heirloom storage protection
- Protection from dust and environmental exposure
- Arbor Day Foundation tree planting program
- Association of Wedding Gown Specialists preservation standards
This option is recommended for brides who wish to keep their gown as a keepsake, family heirloom, or future display piece.
Preservation Bagging
For brides planning to resell, transport, or store their gown without full chest preservation, archival preservation bagging is also available. The gown is professionally cleaned and packaged in an archival garment bag designed to provide additional protection during storage and transportation.
While preservation bagging offers more protection than standard garment storage, it is not intended to provide the same long-term preservation benefits as a museum-quality preservation chest. This option is often selected by brides who intend to resell their gown or who prefer a more flexible storage solution.
Bridal Care Process

Complete our Bridal Inquiry Form and upload photos of your gown. A bridal specialist will review your inquiry, provide an estimated price range, discuss turnaround times, and answer any initial questions.

Your gown is professionally hand-cleaned using techniques selected specifically for its construction and materials. Any necessary restoration treatments are performed with care to achieve the best possible results.
Step Four: Preservation
If selected, your gown is preserved using museum-quality archival materials backed by a lifetime guarantee through the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists.
Step Five: Pickup or Delivery
Once complete, we’ll notify you that your gown is ready for pickup or complimentary Brooklyn delivery where available.
