Kendyl & Karhlia
“I purchased the Grace gown (NZ size 10) from Gown and Altar, and it was everything I could have dreamed of! The gown was hemmed slightly at the train for better movement, and it struck the perfect balance for my wedding in Sicily – it was easy to wear, elegant, and beautiful. It’s the kind of dress that feels effortless yet elegant, ideal for an abroad wedding or a simple, chic wedding anywhere in the world!
The craftswomanship, fit, and service were amazing. If you want a gown that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and stunning on your wedding day, I couldn’t recommend Gown and Altar more highly!”
-Karhlia
“From start to finish, working with Gown + Alter was a dream. Lucy, Jane and Isabel went above and beyond to make sure my dress was absolutely perfect — working miracles on a very tight timeline. Every interaction was warm, reassuring, and professional. The attention to detail was outstanding, from a flawless fit to the beautifully precise alterations. The communication throughout was fantastic, with regular updates that kept us completely at ease during what can be a stressful time. Will always be grateful for the skill, care, and genuine kindness from the Gown + Alter team. Truly 11/10 experience.”

“The veil was the moment but so was the dress. Thank you @gownandaltar New Zealand for making the dress of my dreams.”
Olivia D
“Such a GORGEOUS gown and so unique! I was hesitant to order my dress online having not tried it on before purchasing but the designer was so helpful with answering questions and communicating when the gown would be finished and shipped. Cannot wait to wear this on my wedding day 🤍”

“I definitely recommend Gown and Altar for anyone that’s on the search for their dress as they cater for bespoke but also keep up to date with what’s trending and provide stunning options to purchase from their collection. Once I had an idea of what I wanted, Taylor came up with the solution to create a bespoke dress based on an existing style—it turned out exactly how I envisioned. The process was smooth, and I loved that I was supporting a local business just 10 minutes down the road. The team is so lovely, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout. I received so many compliments on the day!”

“My dress turned out amazing — the Windsor Gown with sleeves was everything I dreamed of. Isabel was so supportive and helpful the whole way through. Couldn’t be happier!”
