Preserved to Perfection: Personalized Wedding Gown Preservation

Founded by Sara and Joseph Schapiro in 1913, WEDDING GOWN PRESERVATION CO. is a family-run business based in Endicott, New York, that has been restoring and preserving wedding gowns for brides for more than 100 years. Using a combination of experience and today’s latest technologies, fourth-generation members of the Schapiro family thoroughly clean and preserve each wedding gown to prevent yellowing and discoloration; spot removal is also part of the process, with special attention paid to neckline, trim and hemline. Staff will also perform any necessary repairs, from fixing tears to replacing buttons, before shaping and placing the gown in an acid-neutral, lignin-free box to ship back to you. The icing on the cake: You can personalize the box with text or photos in commemoration of your special day.
