| - I was looking into getting my wedding dress properly dry cleaned after my wedding and started researching online about wedding dress cleaning and preservation in Toronto. I found Grace Wedding Gown Specialists online and decided to give them a call. I got answers to all my questions and then arranged a drop off date.
The location is in Scarborough, so a bit out of the way of the downtown core but I think the 25 minute drive was worth it. I dropped off my wedding gown on the arranged date and got to meet Grace for the first time. She was so friendly and took the time to tell me what my gown would need to be properly cleaned and preserved - about 3 cleanings. Which is why the whole cleaning and preserving a wedding gown is costly, the work that goes into getting it back to as close as before you wore it for your wedding day is not an easy process. I watched the online video on the website which was helpful as it explained all the steps that the gown goes through before being preserved in acid free tissue paper and a box with a clear plastic window for viewing. Grace took note of what specific areas of my gown needed special care and said she'd give me a call so that I could come back to take a look at my wedding dress all clean before it was boxed. She also told me that I could bring in my veil to be boxed with the dress.
When my dress was clean a few weeks later, I returned to inspect it before it would be boxed. It was so spotless - the beading and embroidery were in mint condition, the dirt on the underside of the dress was gone and it looked beautiful! They made sure that I was happy with it, and I definitely was. I dropped off my veil and was told that it would be properly boxed and I would get a call as to when I could come back and pick it up. It may seem a bit annoying to have to go on 3 separate occasions to do the drop off, return for inspection and then final pick up, but I am glad that they don't just clean the dress and box it up. I'd rather the chance to see my wedding dress and how nicely it was cleaned before it had been boxed up then not.
I got a call from Grace the next week saying my dress was all ready for pick up. I went to pick it up on a Saturday and it was BUSY. I'd never seen it so busy because I always went on a weekday. There were about 4 other brides picking up their cleaned and preserved wedding gowns. Also, each time I went there before, I always saw a rack of wedding gowns that were hanging and waiting to be checked by their owners before being boxed. I could tell that a lot of brides bring their dresses to Grace Wedding Gown Specialists as well as trust their expertise.
I'm really happy with the final product. I know that my wedding gown is properly cleaned (which gives me peace of mind) and it's professionally boxed up to museum quality standards. It's also a nice touch to be able to open the box and still be able to look at your wedding gown through the plastic window. Mine looks wonderful, probably as good as before I put it on for the big day. I also went to the website and was able to print out a $25 off coupon which I gave to Grace when I first dropped off my gown. The whole experience was great, as was Grace. You can tell she really cares about cleaning and preserving the wedding gowns and knows how important they are to brides that want to treasure such a special memory. I would definitely recommend Grace Wedding Gown Specialists to brides.
