“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. 💕”

“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!”

“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.”
