My wife went to Dependable Cleaners over on Newbury Street, I believe. She went in just looking to have a red wine stain removed and left after purchasing some $250 Wedding Preservation box thing in addition to the cleaning. They did a great job getting the stain out and she was happy, so I was happy.
The box has a little window on the front so you can see the dress but you're supposed to keep the dress sealed. It all seemed rather silly to me, and just last week we moved the box and found (through the window) considerable yellowing. They supposedly guarantee against this, so we'll be taking it back.
My $0.02? It's all a scam. One last way to get you on your way out of the wedding machine. I would imagine that with a little creative googling you could figure out what "special" types of tissue paper they put in the box and handle the preservation yourself.
