The Association of Wedding Gown Specialists is the premier network for drycleaners specializing in the meticulous care of wedding gowns, luxury garments, and other fine fabrics. We are a not-for-profit trade association with members in nine countries who are committed to fostering excellence and innovation within our industry. At our core, we are an alliance of cleaners who share a common vision: to elevate our brands and become the trusted drycleaners in our respective communities. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with handling delicate and cherished items such as wedding gowns and other specialty garments and family heirlooms. Our mission is to empower our members with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to excel in this specialized field.
Also, in celebration of our couple’s weddings, we have joined with the Arbor Day Foundation, the perfect partner for helping us make a positive impact on the environment, to plant a tree in a forest of great need for every wedding gown our members preserve. The Arbor Day Foundation was established in 1972 and has supported the planting of 500 million trees in neighborhoods, communities, cities, and forests throughout the world.
Members gain as well from our many other partnerships that grow sales and lower costs such as care labels that recommend you and archival-quality wedding chests at special pricing. Still more benefits include exclusive rights to your market area, trademarked logos and brand-name recognition with a unique written international guarantee and free pressing honored by all of our members, international advertising on powerful wedding websites, marketing promotions, webinars, technical support 24/7, and an online resource center as well as international networking.
