About our Wedding Gown Cleaning Service
Why should I clean my wedding gown after the wedding? I won’t wear it again.
Think of it like your wedding photos — you hired a photographer to preserve the memory. But your gown is more than just a picture; it’s something you can see, touch, and even pass down to the next generation.
Why have the gown cleaned? Hidden stains—like champagne spills or sugar from your cake, will appear over time and may permanently damage your gown.
ABSOLUTE cleaning ensures your gown stays breathtaking and ready for the day someone you love may choose to wear it as a tribute to the love and legacy of her mother. 💖

ABSOLUTE has boxed wedding gowns for hand-carry to other countries by our overseas Kababayans who chose to get married in the Philippines. Write to us about your special requirement.
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.
ABSOLUTE will accept Wedding Gowns for Rush Service of 2-3days on a case-to-case basis. We would love to help for your Wedding Emergency, and feel free to write to us how we may help.
⦿ 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.
DISCLOSURE: It is crucial to consider that wedding gowns are not made to be durable; they consist of the most delicate fabrics adorned with trims, beads, pearls, and more. Due to the intricacies of the construction, fabric runs, holes, and tears may become evident despite the utmost care given to the item.
