Are you ladies going to get your dress preserved? I want to do it but I am not sure if I am going to go with David's Bridal (where I got my dress) or another place.

I just sent mine away this week finally after staring at it for 3 months.

I did mine, it was about 250 i think. I agree with yelley, i think it might have been a big waste of money but i had to do something with it.

I DO NOT recommend WedClean. I just got my dress back and I am devastated. There are stains on it that were not there before - brown, tea-colored ones. Their 'explanation' has been that the preserving chemicals sometimes make food-related stains (wine/champagne) more noticeable. Well, I know when I sent it to them there were no BROWN stains on the back of my dress, but there are now. I am seeking a full refund.

I just wanted to put this story out there because I know they have many good reviews on here, but I would caution against using them based on my experience.

I just spoke with the manager of WedClean who tried over and over to explain WHY these stains showed up. I said it didn't matter - had I been told before I sent my dress to them that it could look WORSE when I got it back, I never would have sent it to them in the first place. When I insisted I wanted a refund, and not for them to clean my dress again, he said fine and HUNG UP ON ME. I had to call back to ask him how and when to expect this refund and he answered abruptly and hung up on me AGAIN. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as well.

I have not yet. We just got back from the HM. Prob going to bring it this week to Paradise Bridal where I bought it from. I am worried if I don't have it cleaned soon it will be destroyed. The bottom was all gray from being dragged around in the snow. (It was worth it I know the pictures will be awesome).
