Brittany and Bradley are a shining example of Mill Valley Wedding Dress Cleaning. They had a wonderful outdoor ceremony and Brittany looked beyond words in her gown during her wedding.

Brittany’s dress was a show-stopper and she wore it so effortlessly! She explained her journey to finding her perfect gown was far from effortless, but clearly worth while. “I looked at dresses in LA, SF, Pittsburgh and New York. Two dresses at Kinsley James in LA had continued to stand out.” She brought her Mom with her to Walnut Creek to help with the decision making. “I still really liked both but neither was a clear winner. My consultant said, “You know what, we have a dress that has elements of both of these two that you might love”. I tried it on and that was the winner. It had the elegance that our venue required. But some modern elements that made it feel formal enough but still me.”
On getting her wedding dress cleaned and preserved, Brittany said. “As our event was small and unique, getting married during COVID we wanted to have it preserved. In case we ever use it again or a family member wants to use it in the future.” We couldn’t think of a better reason and we love working with Mill Valley Wedding Dress Cleaning brides.
Brittany explained that finding a way to involve all their loved ones made her big day so special. “My high school friends made a video for me to watch the morning of. That made me laugh & cry and feel like they were there with us. My 94-year old grandmother was to be our “flower girl”. But instead she had her home’s director on an iPhone with my aunt at the wedding to have her join. My 82-year old father could not attend and walk me down the aisle. But he is a jeweler and made our rings so he had a tangible element tied to him on the big day.”.
After the ceremony Brittany and Bradley rented an old antique bus for the immediate family and wedding party. Brittany explained “To go to a few outdoor spots around Pittsburgh after the mini ceremony and cocktails in lieu of a big party. When snapping a few pictures with classic Pittsburgh cityscape there was a boat blasting rap music. So Bradley & I got to have a spontaneous dance party. Just the two of us for one song.
