What is the actual cost for wedding dress preservation? It depends on a number of factors like the amount of damage of the dress and the type of cloth and materials used, among others. The costs also can shoot up depending on the design as well. Like if your dress has different layers, and then the costs are likely to go up.

In normal conditions, the costs fall between USD 200 to 250 but can go up to USD $2000 to $2500, based the level of intricacy of the gown. It is one of the most important factors that determine the actual cost of preservation.

Choosing the right preservation company is also important here. You should learn how equipped and experienced is the shop by asking questions like you interview him. Never feel ashamed to clear all your doubts by asking questions about it. Most importantly, make sure that the company offers a warranty for your gowns after preservation. 

Though most of the companies say that the dress is not damaged, it is very important to know what guarantee they offer in case if something goes wrong. As you really don’t want to lose your wedding dress for which you have spent a huge amount, it is important to note down their guarantee policies. Ask them how they are going to treat you if anything goes wrong.

You should not be happy to refund your amount spent for wedding dress preservation, but rather you should demand the amount you spent for your wedding gown. I think you have the right for it, don’t you?

How to Store a Preserved Wedding Gown?

Once you have preserved your wedding gown, then it is important to store it safe. Let’s have a quick look at the way you should store your wedding dress after preservation. Normally, your wedding gowns arrive in a pro-approved storage cardboard box which is often termed as ‘acid free.’ But these boxes need to be replaced over time as they can re-acidify over the years.

Cardboard boxes absorb moisture. This will cause the growth of mold and mildew inside the box as within any other storage chamber. Boxes made of fluted polypropylene are one of the best alternatives to traditional cardboard boxes. These boxes provide more protection from moisture and resists fluctuations in temperature and humidity. So they remain more or less ideal for you to keep your wedding dress after preservation.

Also make sure that you keep your box in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Also ensure no direct sunlight or heat.
