About - Wedding Gown Preservation Company

Our History

Wedding Gown Preservation Company was founded in 1913 by Sara and Joseph Schapiro in Endicott, New York. Sara and Joseph specialized in the preservation and alteration of wedding gowns. Together, they created the family formula which is still in use today.

We are now a third generation family-owned business operated by the Schapiro family. We have had generations of brides preserve their gowns with us.

Our Process

Our cleaning methods have been proven and recognized by the International Fabric Institute as the best methods in the gown preservation industry.

We pride ourselves in the highest standard of quality and care of bridal gowns in cleaning and preservation.

Our Mission

To preserve your memory.

100 Year Guarantee

All wedding gowns are professionally cleaned and preserved by our certified specialists.

In very rare instances, a gown will yellow over a period of time. In the unlikely event this occurs, we are happy to reprocess the gown at no charge.

Should we be unable to remove the yellow, our bride's preservation cost will be refunded. Beads and sequins are excluded. Improper handling of the gown may cause damage and compromise the true preservation of the gown.

We use state of the art equipment and we are committed to quality every step of our process. Our certified specialists are passionate for what they do!
