I got married in June 2022 and it took me 4 months -- (major perfectionist right here!) -- to research and find the best place to take my dress to get it cleaned/preserved. My dress is an Oscar de la Renta pleated tulle gown and I wanted to make sure that wherever I took it, they knew how to handle the very delicate fabric. The Oscar store I got it from recommended a different place to get it cleaned/preserved, but their quote was an outrageous price (a laughable $2K)! After reading millions of reviews, I finally found Elegance Preserved and I'm so glad I did! Their pricing was extremely reasonable and their work is exquisite!! I received my dress yesterday and it honestly looks like a brand new dress! They did such an incredible job cleaning and preserving the tulle. The preservation box, tissue paper, and special protective cotton casing are all museum quality and they even give you a pair of special cotton gloves to use if/when you take the dress out of the box. The customer service is also excellent -- throughout the process everyone I talked to or emailed with was extremely professional, communicative, kind, and informative! They went above and beyond to make sure my expectations were met. Also, they have a pickup/delivery service that's included, which just made the whole process so much easier (and their driver is also very nice and professional). The work is excellent, the price was excellent, the people are excellent -- I'd highly recommend Elegance Preserved to any of my friends or any future brides out there! read more

Hi! I had such a great experience with Elegance Preserved! I had an ivory dress from Allure Bridals from the Madison James collection. Originally, I wasn't interested in having my dress cleaned and preserved. However, we had a beach wedding in Mexico and the sand and humidity definitely took their toll. So I started looking for wedding dress cleaning and preservation services. I contacted a couple of different places but the customer service with Elegance Preserved is what made me decide to move forward with them. Olivia and Shawnee were always super pleasant! I particularly loved not having to drive my dress anywhere! They came to pick it up and also dropped it off, so it literally could not be more convenient! The thought of trusting Marilyn (my dress) with anyone was a little stressful, but the dress came back in absolute pristine condition! read more

This is my first time using Elegance Preserved and I just got my dress back yesterday! I was very hesitant on this process because I had to hand over my gown to people I do not know. However, all the wonderful reviews reassured me that they were going to take care of my gown and accessories. It was picked up in January and I received it in March. It came back in a decent sized box and it is preserved beautifully. I took a peek at it with the nice gloves that were provided to us. I kind of got in my feels a little; I didn't realize I would feel such bittersweet feelings about having my dress back. I got married in October of 2023 so it's only been a few months, but all those wonderful wedding feelings came back. I love that they were able to provide me with a quote as soon as they received my dress. The entire process was very smooth. The pick up and drop off service is great and I would definitely use Elegance Preserved again in the future. read more

I was introduced to this company thru the team at Monique Lhuillier. I found this yelp page and was a bit nervous because there were many reviews here. But then I found their other yelp page from the Bay Area and was amazed at the reviews there! I called their main line and they answered all of my questions, and I had a lot! They have a local account person who was able to setup a pickup on Saturday morning from my home to get a quote. Very cool! The quote took a couple of days but seemed like an easy enough process. Most of their communication was thru email. My dress was pretty beat up on the hem and I had a bustle that I had torn out. They sent me a quote for cleaning and preservation as well as the small repair. After my dress was done they sent me a report that helped me get a sense of how well it came out. It was so amazing to see my dress clean again! Yeah!! My dress was then shipped back to me at my office, which I guess is safer? But, that was no problem. I really appreciated their communication. It put me at ease with such an expensive dress. I would highly recommend them! They made what might have been a very stressful situation a simple process. Thank you Elegance Team! read more

I found Elegance Preserved when I purchased a floor sample wedding gown from Kinsley James in West Hollywood. My dress was picked up directly from the boutique and dropped back off there once it was finished. Kinsley James offers a coupon for your cleaning service that takes some of the cost down but I was admittedly shocked at the price to clean a wedding gown. Elegance preserved handled my reaction to the estimate very well, explained why the cost was what it was, and even offered to find some additional discounts/promotions for me to help bring the cost down. They even gave me time to shop around before approving the estimate. I quickly discovered the price was lower than other places in the area. Thanks Olivia! read more

I am so impressed by the work that Elegance Preserved did! My wedding was held outdoors at a ranch and throughout the evening my dress was covered in dirt, asphalt, grass, etc. The stains were bad (the whole bottom of my dress was black). Miraculously, Elegance Preserved was able to clean my dress and make it look brand new. I am shocked in the best way! The pickup and drop-off process with Elegance Preserved was also seamless, and the team was wonderful at communicating when they would be arriving. I cannot recommend their services enough! read more

My wedding was postponed a year due to Covid 19 and I was obviously concerned about my dress staying in great condition. So I reached out to Elegance Preserved about preservation. Sean gave me a call within hours and was so helpful! He could've easily told me to spend the money to preserve my dress but instead he was honest and helpful and walked me through other options that might work better since we are only talking about a year and the dress hasn't been worn yet. He also took the time to give me pointers for keeping my dress clean on my wedding day. Thanks to Sean's knowledge and honesty I am feeling a little more at ease about my dress and look forward to working with him and his team next year to clean and preserve my dress after my wedding. read more

Elegance Preserved was recommended to me from Sarah Seven, where I bought my wedding dress. It was a sample gown and they did an AMAZING job with the cleaning! This dress was tried on SO many times and it looks brand new. They were also super kind and helpful, and got my dress back to me within two weeks. They do home pick ups too which is awesome. I'm in southern Orange County so I met them in northern Orange County for those pickups, which was super easy. 10/10 would recommend! read more

The Elegance Preserved team did a wonderful job with my dress. They were suggested by the Sarah Seven shop where I purchased my dress. It seemed daunting to try and figure out who should clean my dress so I appreciated the recommendation. The dress was picked up from my home and return shipped to me. It was a simple process and they were easy to talk to. I'm happy I found them and my dress looks beautiful! Thank you Elegance Preserved! read more

This place was amazing to work with. Sean and the entire staff made my experience simple and easy. The dress looks amazing and was stored to perfection. What it came down to, is EP made me feel like family. I highly recommend using them and so happy to spread the word. read more

I would highly recommend having your wedding dress cleaned here! Olivia responded quickly and Shawnee transported my gown with great care. My dress was very soiled at the bottom and I had makeup spots all over. When she came back to me, she looked as beautiful as when I picked her up from the dress shop! Thank you for doing an amazing job, and coordinating delivery of my dress! read more

I purchased my dress from the cutest shop ever, Sarah Seven. They were the ones that recommended Elegance Preserved to me. It seems that they get their sample gowns cleaned with Elegance so it seemed like a good recommendation. After speaking with the Elegance coordinator I felt comfortable with the quoting process. I had hoped for a pickup but apparently my home was just out of their range. So, they sent me a shipping "kit". It arrived and it was easy enough to ship my dress to them for a quote thru UPS. I was a bit nervous but they assured me that's the way that most of the boutiques get their dresses from designers. I hadn't realized that! They notified me by email once they had my dress and I received a quote a day later. It seemed reasonable and 8 weeks later I had my beautiful clean dress preserved and shipped back to me. I am grateful that the last of my wedding to-dos is over and that my dress is taken care of. Not an exciting errand but an important one and I highly recommend their team. Elegance was easy to work with and I love Sarah Seven for all their help thru this process! read more

I researched places for a long time to preserve my Carolina Herrera gown. I was very impressed with the reviews of Elegance Preserved and loved that they offer a home pickup service in Los Angeles. The staff made me feel at ease when I called, were very patient in answering all my questions and gave me full confidence that my dress was in good hands! In the end, my dress came out beautifully and hope I can pass it along to my daughter one day! Highly recommend Elegance Preserved! read more

I came across Elegance Preserved while searching for a shop to clean and preserve my wedding dress. I decided to go with Elegance Preserved because the company seemed very detailed and experienced in their cleaning and preserving process. I felt the company was trustworthy to handle such a special piece that I already invested in and wanted to keep for memories sake. My dress by Pronovias - White One was purchased from BHLDN and I was pleased to find out Elegance Preserved has experience working with their dresses. As I was communicating with the staff, everyone seemed very knowledgeable and willing to help answer any questions/concerns I had so that gave me even more comfort. It was also extremely easy to communicate with the team at Elegance Preserved through text message, email, and phone call. Since I worked with the company during COVID-19, the process was very smooth and better than I could have imagined. I was able to schedule a pickup almost immediately and received updates from the staff while they had the dress in their possession. Once the dress was cleaned and preserved, they reached out to me to schedule the drop off which was also seamless. The entire process was so convenient! I am so glad to have found Elegance Preserved and would definitely recommend them to my friends! Thank you to the entire team for the hard work and amazing experience! read more

FANTASTIC cleaning and preservation by Elegance Preserved! My wedding gown and veil are one-of-a-kind as they were handmade by Claire Pettibone (purchased at her bridal salon in LA) and my gown has a very delicate lace applique, so I was hesitant to trust cleaning & preservation to just anyone. Elegance Preserved was one of the places my dress designer recommended, and I read several good reviews, so I contacted them about my wedding dress and veil. From the start the staff at EP were so kind! They were eager to answer all my questions, were extremely knowledgable, helpful and understanding. They were able to give me initial quotes over the phone, as well as a firm quote after inspecting my dress (BONUS: they send someone to pick up and drop-off your dress - I didn't have to go anywhere! [I live in LA] It was such an easy, smooth process). EP was communicative throughout the entire process and even got my dress + veil cleaned & preserved ahead of schedule. I was extremely pleased with the outcome - they took excellent care of my dress and veil. I highly recommend EP to all brides! - Kristen read more

Sean from the Shop Team was extremely professional and helpful when I inquired about preserving my wedding dress. He gave me advice about the process. I was under the impression that "preservation" meant to make the box airtight; however, he informed me that the fabric needs to breathe or could mold. Yikes! I would definitely ask Elegance Preserved for their assistance again. Thank you Elegance Preserved! read more

Talk about unparalleled customer service! Elegance Preserved are experts when it comes to wedding gown cleaning + preservation and take care of everything when it comes to sorting out exactly what you need for your dress and so much more! I am a wedding planner in Los Angeles and not only do I recommend EP to all of my brides but I personally used them to clean my wedding dress when I found myself on the other side of planning. When it comes to trusting a very valuable item for what was such a special day, the only people I would be calling is Elegance Preserved. read more

I purchased a wedding dress from PoshMark and while I was trying it on, I found a small but noticeable blue pen mark on the butt!! I panic-searched the closest wedding dress repair on yelp and found Elegance Preserved. I inquired on Sunday morning thinking I would get a call back Monday but I got a call immediately from Sean. Their service was great, Sean was very nice and knowledgeable on cleaning and preservation. When I went to their Beverly Hills location to drop off my dress, I was a little shocked at the in-person store because it was inside a run-down dry cleaners/alterations shop. I almost missed it if it wasnt for the sign on the windkw. But the people were kind and let me drop off a veil as well as the dress. Their quote was reasonable, total of $200-$300 to repair/clean my dress and veil. One thing that was a little strange was their at-home delivery service. It is a hit or miss--there was some confusion on the date of delivery, make sure to text someone or email them on the day of your date of delivery. The dress was professionally cleaned and beyond my expectations because I thought the pen mark wouldnt come out or leave a stain. The repair was flawless. They also managed to get out some yellow stains at the folds of the dress which I am so impressed about. They also include a garment bag and iron out your veil if you submit one. Overall great experience, just a little confusing for the home delivery service. read more

I had the most amazing experience with Elegance Preserve. As a Covid bride who needed to move my wedding to next year, Elegance Preserve was there for me every step of the way to help preserve my wedding dress and veil. Their pick up and drop off process could not have been easier. My dress and veil are beautifully tucked away in one of the lovely preserve boxes until I get to wear one day. I would absolutely recommend this company and I can't thank them enough for all their help! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Elegance Preserved! They picked up my dress from my house, which was SO convenient, and I had a quote just within a few days. My dress was purchased from the cutest boutique, LOHO Bride, which I also highly recommend. Thankfully the boutique told me about Elegance Preserved, and it's a great thing they did! My wedding was on a farm and the after party was at a bar, so you can guess at the condition of my hem after that! My dress came back looking PERFECT, and if I decide to resell it, I definitely can now. This company has a great team, and the communication was seamless. The coordinator Diane made the process simple and stress free. Thank you Diane! read more

I did not have a great experience with this company. I chose Elegance Preserved because I wanted my dress to be in the best hands and reduce the risk of anything going wrong. For the price I was quoted here, which was really high, I expected flawless service. First of all, you have to ship your dress to San Francisco where it will sit for several months. My first conversation with Sean made me feel well taken care of, but after I became a customer things changed. Communicating with this company was challenging as they were not on top of the details, forgot to fix a stitch I requested, and proceeded with services I hadn't agreed to even though we discussed over the phone. I don't believe they take notes or pay attention to your specific needs. When I received the dress back it was not perfect and they spent 20 minutes explaining to me that it was unlikely to have been perfect anyway...which was also a disappointment. I'd recommend trying somewhere else. read more

Love, love, love them! I felt like they answered all my questions clearly and were very fair in setting expectations. The pricing was a bit more than I thought it would be initially, but after researching further I realized that higher end silk dresses are just that expensive to clean. When I compared them against similar companies with good reputation, the pricing seemed to be fair. I was very happy with the result and I must say I haven't had that level of customer service in a long time. Not counting the boutique I purchased from, Monique Lhuillier. They are my fav as well! Thank you Elegance team! read more

Had my wedding dress cleaned here so I could sell it. Great communication with owner/manager about when dress would be ready, etc. I had my wedding outdoors and there were so many tiny sticks stuck in the lace and dirt under layers, was worried about how it would come out. Dress came out perfect. Highly recommend. read more

Honestly the best choice my wife and I have made in a long time. Our wedding dress is super expensive and delicate as are most and Elegance Preserved was able to really make it look brand new after it looked as though it had been through war with wine stains lol. Money well spent!! read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Elegance Preserved! I was referred to them by LOHO Bride in LA, where I purchased my dress. I was distraught over postponing my wedding for a 2nd time, and was really stressed about how my dress would handle being on a hanger shoved in the back of my closet for another year. The team at Elegance Preserved responded quickly and helped take all of my stress away! They were so sweet and I instantly knew I could trust them with my dress. The process was so easy, I didn't even have to leave my apartment! I chatted with them over the phone briefly about what I was looking for, and that same week someone came to pick it up. They were so on top of communication and arrived on time and were so friendly. About two weeks later, they scheduled a time to drop my dress back off to me. Again, they were so friendly and communicated with me every step of the way. The dress was packaged perfectly in a nice sturdy box, inside of a cloth/zipped garment bag. They even provided cloth gloves for when I do decide to take it out and try it on. Overall AMAZING experience. Thank you so much for making such a stressful and sad time so enjoyable and easy for me! read more

I had Elegance Preserved clean my Hayley Paige that was purchased from the JLM Boutique on Robertson. After researching and looking at the best wedding dress preservationists out there, I was so pleased to have found the Elegance team. Diane was very helpful and answered all my questions. From texting to emails they were always very available and willing to answer all my questions. They came highly recommended from the shop so I knew I was in good hands! read more

I purchased my dress from the Galia Lahav flagship store on La Brea. Such an amazing store! They were the ones that recommended Elegance Preserved as well as a company called J. Scheer. After doing my research I determined that J. Scheer was just too expensive. Elegance Preserved provides a comparable service at a much more reasonable price. They have a shipping service that works easily and their coordinator was super helpful in explaining the process and timeframe. I was a bit nervous about shipping at first but they assured me that boutiques receive their dresses from designers the same way. That made me feel comfortable shipping my dress. Everything from start to finish was flawless and my dress looks stunning! I'm so happy I found Elegance Preserved. Thank you, thank you! read more
