Heritage Garment Preservation

Amazing job on my dress, perfectly preserved and so nice to work with. They sent me emails to update me on everything that was going on with my dress as it went through the step-by-step to be prepared, planned for, cleaned, preserved, and then shipped. They are the best of the best. I would recommend 100% if you want to keep your dress after the wedding! My daughter bought a beautiful Lazaro wedding gown (3201) for her wedding that had much lace and beading. She is selling it, so we wanted to clean it, but wanted to make sure that the cleaner used the utmost care to preserve the lace and beading.

Heritage Garment Preservation was founded in 2000 to provide expert wedding dress cleaning and museum quality wedding dress preservation to brides in the San Francisco area. The business grew to serve all the United States and a few customers from outside the US (Canada, Australia, England, and Germany, to name a few.) In December of 2016 HGP moved to Tyler Texas and joined with The Cleaning Company, a prestigious dry-cleaner with excellent skills in wedding dress care. Determined to preserve each wedding gown with the best preservation method, Kathy Wright, the business founder did extensive research on garment preservation used by museums, such as the Smithsonian in Washington D. C. and The Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Your wedding gown will be carefully inspected and an individualized treatment plan will be determined based on your wedding gown fabric, trims and style. Our goal is to return your gown to perfect condition. Our wedding gown care experts will determine the best method of cleaning for your gown to protect it from damage while still getting the stains out. We give your wedding dress TLC (tender loving care.) Unlike wholesale dry-cleaners and many national companies who clean wedding gowns in large quantity (as many as 30 gowns at a time), each wedding gown we treat gets individual care.
