Our beautiful custom bride Laura got married last month at the stunning Bay of Plenty venue @theblackbarnlaketarawera.
Laura came to us with a clear vision for her dream wedding dress. We had so much fun making this gown come to life!
Drawing on a number of design elements from our main collection pieces, Laura’s Pinterest board and calico fittings to perfect the neckline. We couldn’t be happier with how her dress turned out! Our first corset style dress made out of soft silk satin.
The design combines the fit of our structured gowns with the comfort and drape of our silk slip dresses. Styled with our Meadow Veil and stunning florals by @meadow_nz.
At Laura’s fitting, perfecting final design details…
Laura & Hugh’s magical day at @theblackbarnlaketarawera.

The Bay of Plenty Wedding Show is just around the corner, and the team at Gown and Altar can’t wait to meet you! Come and visit our stand to experience our exquisite collection of wedding gowns.
The 90’s. A decade of iconic fashion, from slip dresses to chunky sneakers. And let’s not forget the wedding dresses: think voluminous satin, dramatic sleeves, and maybe just a touch (or a lot!) of lace. While these gowns hold sentimental value, their silhouettes might feel a tad too retro for the modern bride.
