Wedding Dress Cleaning and Preservation
Professional bridal gown care
Your wedding dress holds some of your most precious memories, and we treat it with the same care you do. At After the Altar, every gown is inspected by hand, gently cleaned, and carefully preserved so it can be treasured for years to come.
Â
Whether your dress is fresh from the big day or has been stored away for a while, you can trust us to handle it safely, respectfully, and with the attention it deserves.
What we do
Repairs
After the celebrations, your wedding dress may carry the little memories of the day — loose threads, small tears, pulled hems, damaged fastenings, or delicate embellishments that need careful attention.
Â
Our specialist wedding dress repair service is designed to restore your gown after wear, with thoughtful repairs to lace, beading, seams, hems, straps, buttons, and other fragile details.
Â
Whether your dress needs minor mending before cleaning and preservation or more detailed post-wedding restoration, we can help.
Boxing and Storage
Protect your wedding dress for years to come with our specialist boxing and storage service. After professional cleaning, your gown is carefully folded, supported with acid-free tissue, and placed in a premium preservation box designed to help guard delicate fabrics, lace, beading, and embellishments from light, dust, moisture, yellowing, and unnecessary creasing.
Â
Whether you want to keep your dress as a treasured heirloom, store it safely at home, or preserve it for a future generation, our thoughtful boxing process gives your gown the beautiful care and long-term protection it deserves.
Cleaning and Restoration
Bring your wedding dress back to its beautiful best with our specialist cleaning and restoration service. Every gown is carefully assessed before treatment, allowing us to address delicate fabrics, lace, beading, embroidery, visible marks, hidden stains, yellowing, and age-related discolouration with the care they deserve.
Â
Whether your dress has just been worn, stored for years, or needs thoughtful restoration before being preserved, our expert process is designed to revive its freshness, protect its structure, and help keep your cherished gown looking elegant for years to come.
