Wedding gown cleaning & preservation

Hand-finished, boxed, and preserved — ready for the attic or the next generation. The gown you wore once should look that way forever.

Wedding gown cleaning & preservation at Sunrise Cleaners
Overview

Your wedding gown is one of a kind, and we treat it that way. Our specialists clean delicate fabrics, beadwork, and lace by hand, lifting champagne, makeup, and hem stains without harsh machine washing.

After cleaning, your gown is pressed and sealed in an acid-free, museum-quality preservation box with a viewing window — protecting it from yellowing and creasing for decades. We serve brides across McDonough, Decatur, and metro Atlanta by appointment.

Wedding gown care FAQ

How soon after the wedding should I clean my gown?

As soon as possible — ideally within a few weeks. Stains like champagne and sweat oxidize and set over time, becoming harder to remove.

What does wedding gown preservation include?

Hand cleaning, hand pressing, and sealing in an acid-free archival box with a viewing window to guard against yellowing and creasing.

Do you clean bridesmaid and formal dresses too?

Yes — we care for the whole bridal party, plus tuxedos and formal wear.

How much does wedding gown cleaning and preservation cost?

Every gown is different — fabric, construction, beadwork, and stains all drive the price, so we quote each gown individually after inspection and always before any work begins. Call either shop for a ballpark over the phone.

Can you restore a yellowed or vintage wedding dress?

Often, yes — yellowing and oxidation stains respond well to restoration treatment. Older fabrics are always tested first and cleaned by hand. We’ve brought back gowns that spent decades in an attic.

Can you steam or press my gown before the wedding?

Yes — pre-wedding pressing and steaming is one of our most-requested services. Bring the gown in the week of the event and it will photograph beautifully.

Where can I get my wedding dress cleaned near me?

We have two shops: wedding gown cleaning in McDonough on Jonesboro Road and wedding gown cleaning in Decatur at Flat Shoals Crossing — plus pickup & delivery (free on orders over $49) across the south metro.
