Lucy and the team at Gown & Altar are truly the best. From the moment I first tried on their Cove gown, I knew it was the one. The team then went above and beyond to customise it with a few extra details so it felt uniquely mine. The end result was perfect – I loved my dress and felt amazing in it on our big day. The entire experience from start to finish was great. The team were so knowledgeable and helpful and made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Gown & Altar to any future brides looking for their dream dress.

“Absolutely in love with my wedding dress, was made to fit me and was like a glove. Such a great experience would highly recommend!”

“After trying on quite a few dresses and spending hours scrolling Pinterest for inspo, I came across the Gown + Altar’s Riviera Gown and instantly fell in love. I was even more excited when I realised it was a New Zealand brand. Being based in Wellington, I used Gown + Altar’s try-on-at-home service, which was absolutely amazing — the next thing I knew, the dress arrived at my house and I was able to try it on in the comfort of my own home.

From there, the process continued to be incredibly smooth. I met with Isabel via video call to have my measurements taken, then travelled to Tauranga for my final fitting in September. Only a few weeks later, my dress was ready — beautifully made and finished to perfection.

On the day, I felt so beautiful and received endless compliments on the dress. I completed the look with the Flora veil, which was the perfect addition and tied everything together so beautifully.

The entire experience was genuinely so special. I am so grateful to Gown + Altar for creating my dream dress and making the whole journey such a joy. 💕”
