   June ushers in wedding season and there's nothing more beautiful than a bride on her wedding day. Once you've walked down the isle and said your "I Do's", be sure to say "Yes" to wedding gown preservation. (Be sure to check out our Five Tips for choosing the perfect and cleanable dress.)  The Trash the Dress concept is so 2007.  Today's budget-conscious bride is all about preserving her gown as an heirloom or she may want to resell it.  Either way, Westbank Dry Cleaning is the one to trust.  Our thoroughness and attention to detail guarantee great results.  We also can preserve christening gowns, handkerchiefs, veils and other precious memories.

 MUST KNOW TIPS

for choosing the perfect and cleanable dress

1. Read the care label.  If it says Do Not Dryclean, Do Not Wash, DO NOT BUY IT!

2. Check the trim. Is it glued on or sewed on?  Glued trim can be serviceable, it just comes with some concerns.  Don't assume the gown is cleanable just because of a designer brand and price tag.

3. Hang it high. Once you bring your dress home, hang it from the highest point so the hem and train don't touch the floor.

4. Traveling? Ask to carry your dress onboard in its garment bag.

5. Freshly pressed by a pro. That's where we come in.  Trying to dab out the lightest smudge or wrinkle yourself can leave water marks on your gown.  Arrange to drop your dress off at least 2-3 days before the wedding and we'll steam and package it to perfection.
