“I came across Gown & Altar when I was searching for a local wedding dress designer here in the Bay of Plenty. It ended up being the only place I tried wedding dresses on as I fell in love with many of the designs and the studio’s atmosphere. Isabel was amazing to work with and is so passionate about her business and her gorgeous range of designs.
I couldn’t have been happier with the whole process from start to finish. The gowns are all so beautifully made and cater to all shapes & sizes. From my very first try on to the last, Isabel was attentive and gave suggestions of how we could slightly adjust my dress to be the perfect fit. On the day of my wedding I felt beyond beautiful and confident in my dress, which is a feeling I’ll never forget! I have and will recommend Gown & Altar to any bride to be.”
I absolutely adored my gown. It was even more beautiful in person, so comfortable to wear, and truly felt like a showstopper as my second look on the wedding day. I loved it so much that I have it hanging where I can see it every day because it’s simply too beautiful to put away. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish, and I can’t wait for an excuse to wear it again someday. Thank you so much, Isabel — I loved working with you and couldn’t have been happier with my dress.
A huge thank you to Isabel and the team for creating my dresses. They were an absolute hit. It was so special to wear a reception dress made from my nana’s wedding gown. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
