BRIDAL/WEDDING GOWN PRESERVATION

Bridal Care

Your wedding gown is the most important dress you’ll ever wear – chosen because it, and every detail on it, is perfect for you. After the wedding is over, you want it to stay as beautiful and elegant as the day you bought it. When you choose Owl Cleaners to care for your gown, you are choosing the only Certified Wedding Gown Specialist™ and member of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists (AWGS) in the Pittsburgh area to clean, preserve and pack your treasured memories.

We know that the following is important for the happiest day of your life

You can trust us to give your special wedding or family gown the individual care and attention it deserves. Owl Cleaners’ Bridal Care Promise includes:

Handcleaning

We clean every gown individually — never in combination with any other bridal dresses or family gowns. We take every precaution to protect delicate beads, embroidery, and lace during the cleaning process.

Anti-sugar Stain Treatment

Spills containing sugar, salt, and acid often dry clear and can turn an ugly brown over time. Our unique anti-sugar stain treatment, featured in Modern Bride and Bride’s, ensures that all sugar, salt, and acid — seen or unseen — is removed.

Personal Inspection

We invite you to inspect your bridal or other family gown before gown preservation is completed.

Environmentally-Pure, Lasting Protection

Your family or bridal gown is layered with acid-free tissue and carefully folded into an acid-free, museum quality, archival wedding chest.

International Guarantee

Return your gown when it is to be worn again to any participating Certified Wedding Gown Specialist™ who will inspect and press the gown at no charge.

MuseumCare™

Tests conducted by National Bridal Service proved our MuseumCare™ gown preservation was the cleanest, provided the safest museum quality packaging environment, and offered the most comprehensive guarantee for preservation and restoration of all heirloom fabrics such as family bridal gowns, communion dresses, christening gowns, linens, quilts, and doll clothes.

Textile Restoration

If your dream dress is a family bridal gown that time has yellowed and stained, don’t worry. We specialize in restoring antique and vintage bridal gowns to the true color without damage to delicate fabrics or dyes. We can remove stains and discoloration that ordinary dry cleaners cannot.

Museum-quality archival storage process is also ideal for:

Vintage Clothing, Military Uniforms, Quinceñera Gowns, Christening Gowns, Communion Dresses, Quilts, Linens
