REAL Brides REAL Gowns
#REALitemsREALpeople is about building a community where real people share real experiences with ABSOLUTE’s service.
This is about YOU. When REAL brides like you share photos wearing your REAL, wedding gowns cared for by ABSOLUTE, you are helping others make confident, informed decisions about who to trust. Your story can protect someone from service scams (budol), give them peace of mind, and help them look their ABSOLUTE best for a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
REALITY. While many offer “dry-cleaning services” online, most rely on stock photos to grab attention. If they truly cleaned those items, why not show REAL customers wearing the REAL items?
In an era of AI-generated images and Photoshop, the genuine photos shared by REAL brides are worth more than a thousand purchased "followers" and paid influencers. We are deeply grateful to REAL Brides who have shared their testimonials in both words and photos, and we have shared some of these in our website, and even more on our Facebook page:

and on INSTAGRAM

We believe every gown we clean holds a unique story, and we’d be honored to feature yours. If you’ve experienced our CERTIFIED Wedding Gown Cleaning Service, we invite you to share a photo wearing the your gown. Your wedding story is special, and we would be truly honored to feature it within the #REALitemsREALpeople community.

Why should I clean my wedding gown after the wedding? I won’t wear it again.
You wore it with joy!

You spent thousands on a photographer to capture the memory of your special day. Having your gown cleaned after your special day is no different from having photographs of your wedding. 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 💖
Wedding Gown Preservation Box
One day, someone you love may want to wear your gown as a tribute to the love and legacy of her mother who may not be able to be present for the wedding. Unfortunately, in our over 20 years of caring for Wedding Gowns, we've had countless request to recover a gown that was improperly stored, causing yellowed fabric, permanent stains, and deterioration beyond repair. It is sad that for about the cost of a fancy dinner - the legacy gown was lost.
We have just seen it happen too many times and it is the reason, we searched the world for the best storage of wedding gowns. We offer FOSTER STEPHENS preservation Boxes, exclusively for gowns cleaned by ABSOLUTE. 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"]. Importantly, the box features an inner viewing window, allowing you to admire the gown without exposing it to the environment.
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.
Foster-Stephens has been in business for nearly 90 years! The boxes are of archival grade materials making them safe for all kinds of textiles. Foster-Stephens have records of wedding gowns preserved in the same box for over 50YEARS!

2 COLORS are available - PINK and GOLD and both have the same price of P5,250.00. Visit the Foster Stephen site and you will realize that ABSOLUTE is offering the preservation boxes at retail price. For us this is customer service to our brides and not purely for profit.
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.
Timing the Service
⦿ 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.
⦿ 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.
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.
