PRESERVE YOUR MEMORIES
Star Bright Cleaners will keep your gown looking its best even after the big day…
Star Bright Cleaners has 32 years of experience restoring and preserving wedding gowns and other heirloom items. With all the different cleaning options we have available, we are able to handle virtually all cleaning requirements your wedding gown may have. Additionally, we are proud to offer hand cleaning if your gown requires it.
Because you deserve to feel like a princess all over again…
We prefer to accept wedding gowns by appointment. During the initial meeting, our preservation specialist will inspect your gown with you for tears, snags, spots and soiled areas, and any ornamentation requiring special care. Photos will be taken and a pre-cleaning interview is conducted. This will allow us to determine the best course of handling for fully restoring and preserving the most important garment of your life. After the inspection and interview, we will be able to provide you with a quote for the preservation work. Following the restoration and preservation process, each new bride will be invited back to view the gown prior to packaging. Photos will be taken at this time for the bride’s records. We only use the highest quality acid-free tissue paper and muslin to package your gown for storage in an archival quality package. Each gown will come with a pair of gloves for use in the case you need to handle your gown in the future. Finally, within about 4- 6 weeks, your completed gown will be fully restored and preserved and ready for pick up.
Because other special days need to be remembered…
In addition to wedding gown preservation, we also offer preservation and restoration for any heirloom garment including bridesmaids dress, flower girls, or any other special garment you want to have preserved and stored.
