Testimonials
Gown & Altar Real Brides
Lisa W
“I purchased a custom designed wedding dress from Gown & Altar for my March wedding. Isabel is SUCH a meticulous and thoughtful designer, I couldn’t have been more rapt with the dress and the expert, considered guidance from Isabel. The fabric and design were the perfect juxtaposition of movement with construct; the dress flowed beautifully and the fit was secure and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Gown & Altar highly enough, I loved every step of the process. Thanks again for my perfect dress :)”

“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!”

“Gown and Altar, led by Isabel with her team, crafted the most perfect wedding gown of my dreams for me.
I chose their beautiful Pearl gown, The lace over top that we added was stunning and truly made the dress unique. I’m still having people reach out to tell me how much they adored my dress!
I truly could not recommend Gown + Altar more; their professionalism, craftsmanship, and personalized service is second to none! “
