Affordable Preservation Company scored a big win this month with its selection to The Knot’s Best of Weddings 2016. This prestigious award is given only to the highest rated and most popular wedding vendors in the nation. The 2016 award marks the third straight year Affordable Preservation Company received this honor, and they look forward to exceeding customer expectations again next year.
Who Is Affordable Preservation Company?
The company began after a search for wedding dress preservation companies returned few results. Brides were limited to dry cleaners, who could remove some stains, but lacked the equipment and expertise to preserve a gown for long-term storage. Company founders sought out a partnership with The Wedding Gown Preservation Company, and a new service was born.
Why Preserve A Gown?
Cleaning a dress and preserving a dress are two very different processes. A dress cleaning only removes the visible stains and cleans the obvious problem areas, but ignores deeps stains and does nothing to protect the gown against damage while stored. Preserving the dress not only tackles the deep stains in the fabric, but treats the dress so it will not yellow or deteriorate while it is in the box. Additionally, dress cleaners do little to protect the hang of the dress or prevent wrinkles, both of which destroy the integrity of the fabric over time. A preserved dress is one that can be worn again, right out of the box, up to 100 years after it was originally preserved.
What Makes Affordable Preservation Unique?
The Affordable Preservation experience is exceptionally consumer friendly, and takes very little effort on the part of the couple. Consumers raved to The Knot about the quality of the service they received, and their surprise at the low cost of the preservation. Even customers who waited over a year to start the preservation process found the results from Affordable Preservation were much better than they expected.
Affordable Preservation sends a pre-paid shipping box, complete with labels, and packaging materials to the customer. As soon as the wedding dress is off, brides can stuff the dress in the bag, along with the accessories they choose to preserve, seal the box, and schedule a pickup. After a few weeks Affordable Preservation ships the wedding dress back to the couple in a beautiful setting that can be displayed in the home or put in storage for safe keeping.
Though Affordable Preservation won the award for Best of Weddings in California, their nationwide shipping makes them the choice for preservation all over the United States and Canada.
