I got married back in October, and am yet to get my beautiful gown cleaned and preserved, mainly because it's so expensive! (the ones i've found start at $500!)
I took mine to Sunmade Cleaners in Palatine, I haven't gotten it back yet, but can let everyone know once I do. It is $80!! My seamstress recommended them so I trust them!
Crystal Bride in Geneva is really nice and professional. They sell you a kit for $169 and you basically mail your dress UPS (all included) to NY to a company that only does cleaning and preservation and do a good job! They mail it back to you in 6-8weeks all done. Everything is included in the price. Brides who shop there receive 10% off
