👋 Hi friends!

One of the things I'm surprised to hear most often is:

"Wait... you have a location on Lakewood?"

Yes, we do!

If you live on the east side of Holland, Zeeland, or find yourself driving down Lakewood Boulevard regularly, our Lakewood location might be a whole lot more convenient than you realize.

We're happy to help with:
👔 Dry cleaning
👕 Dress shirts
🧺 Household items
👗 Wedding gowns & preservation
✂️ Alterations (by appointment)
🤵 Tuxedo rentals through Wed Company Wedding Wear

Whether you're getting ready for work, a wedding, a vacation, or just trying to keep up with everyday life, we'd love to help make garment care one less thing to worry about.

If you haven't stopped by yet, come say hello! We'd love to meet you.

📍 11276 E. Lakewood Blvd., Holland

❤️ We care for what matters.

Here's what to expect when you receive your preserved gown from our studio...

💙 55 Acts of Kindness – $55 Good Neighbor Gift 💙

As part of my 55th birthday celebration, our team has been spreading kindness throughout the community with 55 Acts of Kindness.

Now we'd love your help!

We're giving away a $55 cleaning and pressing credit to someone who makes our community a better place.

Do you know a Good Neighbor?

Maybe it's...
🍎 A teacher
🙏 A pastor
🚒 A first responder
🤝 A volunteer
💛 A caregiver
🏘️ Or simply someone who quietly serves others without expecting recognition.

Nominate them in the comments (and tag them if you can) and tell us why they deserve to be recognized.

We'll randomly select one nominee to receive our Good Neighbor Gift on Friday, July 3 at 12:00 PM.

Let's celebrate the people who make West Michigan a kinder place to live. We can't wait to read your stories! ❤️

This week is a special one for me.

On July 1, I'll celebrate my 55th birthday.

As I've been reflecting on the past 55 years, one thing keeps coming to mind: how grateful I am for the people who have been part of this journey.

Many of you have trusted us with garments connected to some of life's most meaningful moments—weddings, anniversaries, graduations, new jobs, celebrations, and even the everyday moments that make a life.

What began as a business has become something much more. It has become a way to care for people and the memories attached to the things they wear.

To celebrate, we're kicking off 55 Years of Caring Week with 55 Acts of Kindness for our customers. Throughout the week, we'll be surprising customers with little gifts, service upgrades, encouragement notes, and other unexpected acts of appreciation.

Thank you for supporting our family business, for trusting us with what matters, and for allowing me to do work I truly love.

I'd love to hear from you: What's one thing you're grateful for this summer?

❤️
Tami
