Is anyone having their dress preofessionally cleaned after?

MMCBRIDE4

I just realized that I need to start looking into to this. I was wondering what the average cost is for those having their dress professionally cleaned.

I dont know what the cost is, but I plan to get mine done right away. I am having an outdoor ceremony and reception so the bottom of my dress will most likely be pretty dirty!

I probably will have it *professionally* cleaned and preserved

I haven't decided but this is most likely what I will be doing too

Oh yeah and I will not have it preserved. If I ever have a little girl, I want her to be able to play dress up in in And lets be honest.... what are the odds she will like my dress enough to want to wear it on her wedding day? Slim to none.....

Ditto.

It really depends on how dirty it gets, I am doing an outside wedding so I will have it cleaned but not sure about preserved yet. I don't know that i will need to do that. I have a 14 yr old neice who already says she wants it when she gets married, which I hope is not for a long time.

I am. Mom found a company that does it out of Louisiana for less than $200. I don't remember what it is called. But they send you prepostage and then ship it to you all nice and pretty in an acid free box.

We bought the package deal with DB when I bought my dress. hey clean and preserve it for you. Just stick it in the box and mail it to them. It cost $89 at time of purchasing dress, $199 after the fact.

I'm having mine cleaned professionally. The place recommended to me was expensive (I haven't gotten a quote yet from them, but was told they're pricey) but is apparently the best in the Chicago area.

I plan on having it professionally cleaned after as well but I didn't look up the pricing for it.
I don't think it'll be easy but i'm going to try and sell it afterwards, I don't have any reason to keep it and it's only going to be hemmed, which i'm wearing tall shoes with.
