Hi- I live in Philadelphia and my bridal salon is charging $350 to get the dress cleaned and preserved. Has anyone used any drycleaner for her gown in the Philadelphia area or in Montgomery County? I just want to see if that is reasonable or not.

Thanks-

I can't make any recommendations, just PLEASE be careful if you take it to a dry cleaner instead of a place that specializes in wedding gown preservation. A friend of mine had her dress completely ruined (stained, ripped, and all beading snagged or broken off) by a dry cleaner. Before you take it anywhere, ask them how they clean them (is it with other dresses, do they put the dress in a dryer, etc.). Also, if you have to sign saying that you are responsible if they ruin your dress, you might want to think twice. Just be careful!
