Timing the Service
Why do you want to clean your wedding gown before wearing it?
Because that "new fabric" smell may actually be a chemical that causes you harm. The reply is best answered by Scientist: https://www.kherkhergarcia.com/why-formaldehyde-in-clothing/
⦿ BEFORE the Wedding.
We advise to send your gown to ABSOLUTE at least 2 weeks before your wedding date. Our service time is 5-6 days, two(2) week will provide us an additional 7-day allowance for any unexpected incidents. This timeframe ensures your gown remains fresh and perfect for your special day.
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
We want every bride to look their ABSOLUTE BEST in a once in a lifetime event, which is why we do NOT accept wedding gowns for rush service just 2–3 days before the wedding.
We believe your gown deserves the right amount of time, care, and attention—never rushed, and never under pressure. Your special day is too important for anything less.
Timing the Service
⦿ AFTER the Wedding
It is best to send your dream gown to ABSOLUTE as soon as possible to provide the best opportunity to remove any impurities. Make-up is the most common stain we encounter. Additionally, during the ceremony, the train is dragged along the floor, the hem is stepped on, and cake icing and wine also come in contact with the gown. Like any stain, the sooner it is treated, the greater the chances they can be removed.
If you need help after your wedding— especially if you’ll be flying back abroad, we’re more than happy to offer rush service then. Just send us a message. We’ll do our very best to take care of you and your gown. Write to us about your special requirement.
Why should I clean my wedding gown after the wedding? I won’t wear it again.
Caring for your gown is a way to honor and respect your marriage.
Your gown holds memories from a once-in-a-lifetime day, yet hidden stains from champagne, cake, makeup, and tears may already be settling in — waiting to surface over time and permanently ruin the gown you’ve dreamed of your whole life.
You spent thousands in photos to preserve the moment — your gown deserves the same care. Yet, your wedding gown is more than just an image — A gown you can see, touch, and even pass down to the next generation. Your gown is a part of your love story you can hold in your hands.
Preserve the love it represents. ABSOLUTE’s expert cleaning will free your wedding gown from these hidden stains and ensure your gown stays beautiful, ready to be held close, and someday passed on as breathtaking as the day you wore it 💖
Why should I invest on a Wedding Gown Preservation Box?
Avoid Regret. One day, someone you love may wish to wear your wedding gown as a powerful tribute to the love and legacy of a mother who couldn’t be present on her daughter’s special day.
Sadly in over 20 years of caring for wedding gowns, we’ve seen this beautiful legacy lost due to improper storage—yellowed fabric, permanent stains, and irreversible damage. It is sad that for about the cost of a fancy dinner - the legacy gown was lost
We have witnessed this tragedy too many times. That’s why we searched the world for the absolute best storage of wedding gowns - FOSTER STEPHENS preservation Boxes.
ABSOLUTE proudly offers these archival-grade Foster Stephens Preservation Boxes exclusively for gowns we clean. Made with archival-grade materials, they ensure your gown’s delicate beauty is protected for generations. True Story: Foster-Stephens have records of wedding gowns preserved in the same box for over 50YEARS!
Disclosure: ABSOLUTE has stopped offering vacuum packaging based on the recent study shared by Association of Wedding Gown Specialist that the acidic nature of vacuum bags cause yellowing on fabrics.
2 COLORS are available - PINK and GOLD and both have the same price of P5,250.00. These preservation boxes are a testament to our commitment to provide World-Class Service, ensuring that your dream gown is stored in the best possible manner.
Space Saving: A Preservation Box is the most space-saving and convenient method to store your dream gown [ 32 1/2" x 19 1/2" x 10 1/4"].
INTERNATIONAL Shipment: ABSOLUTE has boxed wedding gowns for hand-carry to other countries by our overseas Kababayans who chose to get married in the Philippines.
LOCAL Shipment: Customers all over the Philippines have shipped gowns to ABSOLUTE for cleaning - debut gowns, fashion gowns, and wedding gowns. The preservation box is the ideal way to ship the gown back to the provincial address either to be worn or for storage.
A Gentle Note: The preservation box is designed with a viewing window, allowing you to see your gown without exposing the gown to the environment. If you wish to open the box further, please remember to wear gloves. This simple step helps protect your gown from natural oils in the hands that may transfer onto the fabric over time. Every detail matters when it comes to keeping your gown safe, cared for, and as beautiful as the memories it holds.
Can this 30 Year Old Gown be Recovered?
Some gowns were brought to ABSOLUTE too late.
Hidden stains from champagne, cake, makeup, and happy tears had already set, discoloring delicate fabrics. Improper storage had bred yellow and black mold, and dirt along the hem had hardened into the fibers, putting once-beautiful gowns in real danger of irreversible damage.
ABSOLUTE Recovery Service is designed to recover cherished garments woven with meaning. Our expert care and advanced techniques aim to restore both the beauty of your gown and the emotions it carries — allowing you to relive the joy, love, and significance of your special day.
Love deserves a second chance.
Let ABSOLUTE help restore the beauty of your most meaningful gown.
