Why we don't offer a higher priced upgrade.

"It's a big RIP OFF!!"

Some wedding dress preservation companies offer a "Celebrity" Line or some type of upgrade. These upgrades are usually priced at $40 to $60 higher than their standard wedding dress preservation kit.

The most common upgrade includes a higher declared value for insurance during your shipping. They also have a different colored gown preservation box, and they use muslin instead of acid free tissue for packing the dress.

40 - 60 bucks for that....give me a break!

Check out what is included.

You can purchase additional UPS insurance at $2 per $100 of value. (In 9 years of wedding gown preservations we have never had UPS loose a gown. I think it's because the shipping boxes are so big it's hard to lose them.) Anyway, the likelihood of UPS messing up is miniscule.

Using a silver or gold gown preservation box and calling it an upgrade is absurd! Does silver or gold look better than white? Maybe, but is the box what you'll be looking at and showing off to others? I don't think so. And the silver or gold on the outside of the box doesn't change a thing when it comes to the storage or protection offered.

And using muslin instead of acid free tissue is just another gimmick. The muslin doesn't provide any additional protection for your wedding dress at all.

Oh, and the last thing. These companies try and "suck" you in by telling you that you need the upgrade for wedding dresses valued over $500. WHY?

The cleaning process isn't different. The handling isn't different. The care they use isn't different. The preservation process is exactly the same whether your wedding dress is worth $200, $500 or $5,000. The only difference are the 3 items I've referred to above.

IT'S A RIP OFF!!

It's a clever marketing tool to get more money from you for very little if any added value.

That's why we don't offer an upgrade. We value our customers and want to give them the best deal possible. Your $300 wedding dress will be treated with as much care - concern for details - and be processed with the same care and concern for details we give the $5,000 gown. Our reputation for honesty and value rests on it.

(Only $119.00 plus $17.00 shipping which covers sending the kit to you - you shipping your gown to be processed and for the shipping of your beautifully preserved gown back to you)

Testimonial

My name is Katie Lechien and I lived in St. Bernard, La.

When hurricane Katrina hit us we had about 30 minutes to get our things together and evacuate.

Sadly my wedding dress and my home I had lived in since I was 2, was left behind. To make things worse there was also an oil spill in the area after the hurricane.

We finally got permission to go back to see what, if anything, we could recover. My dress was found, but it was BLACK!!

We looked for a place to have the wedding gown restored locally but no place would touch it, then we found you!

It looks like it never went through that horrible storm, thank you!, thank you!, thank you!!!

After all the hardship my new husband and myself have been through after that hurricane, we can still look at that wedding dress and remember that one perfect day in our lives.
