Carriage Trade Cleaners

Got dirt on your hem while taking portraits outside? Someone spilled red wine on your gown at the reception? This Bucks County biz will come to your rescue with a soup-to-nuts wedding dress cleaning and preservation service. Your gown will be assessed and cleaned by the shop’s staff (prices range from $325 to $575). It’ll then be preserved on an acid-free dress bust to prevent discoloration and either placed in a vacuum-sealed bag or wrapped in muslin (in case you want to pull the dress out for anniversary photos). In six to eight weeks, your dress will be a true heirloom. Plus, says one happy customer, “The box they packaged my dress in is so, so cute!”
