Amazing shop, make you feel so special and valued

Honestly couldn’t have had a better appointment. I had previous tried another shop in connected to this one and was dreading trying on dresses the ladies were so friendly and warm. They made me feel at ease, went through everything and made the whole experience so wonderful. I said “yes” to my dress and I couldn’t have been happier! I found them at a wedding fair a week ago and best decision I ever made going today! I can’t thankyou all enough for the whole experience

Welcoming to all brides, including plus size!

I booked my appointment for my wedding dress and had my appointment today after having a really disappointing appointment at another bridal store previously. I was worried there wouldn't be dresses I liked and I would fit in (being plus size). Lucy was brilliant, she was patient, she listened to everything I was saying (even when I did pull a complete 180 and go back on myself!) and then got me tissues when I cried in my dream wedding dress. Thank you so much for making me feel so special and helping me find my dream dress!

Didn’t think I’d find the one..but I did!

I went to the fitting feeling really pessimistic, didn’t think I’d like any dresses. And ended up finding THE one is a trunk sale. The team are so kind and helpful!

The best experience

I went to Alta to find my dream wedding dress!
As a bigger woman I was always worried about finding dresses in my size but at Alta size doesn’t matter, they have amazing dresses in EVERY size & I found the perfect dress thanks to Tasha who helped and listened to what I wanted!
Couldn’t recommend them enough and will always remember the amazing experience I had there!!

A very special bridal shop

Fantastic service from these guys. Everyone on the team were incredibly friendly and complimentary. Myself and my partner were helped by the lovely Jo who was so helpful and made choosing a dress very special. They even helped with keeping the cost down and very generously helped with storing our dresses and dry cleaning. I'm beyond happy with the service given and the amount of beautiful dresses to choose from. I would always recommend Alta Costura... Every. Single. Time. Thank you so much for everything.

Don't underestimate Black, it is beautiful and extremely elegant

When I visited Alta Costura Brides I had appointment with Jo. I'm such an anxious person and struggle with unfamiliar situations, but Jo done all she could to help me relax. I gave Jo a challenge, I didn't want a white wedding dress I wanted black... nothing was too much for Jo and the team, they looked around for me for black dresses with their designers. We ordered 4 dresses in and yes I choose my dress... and wow what a stunning dress 🖤💜😍. Throughout my experience working with with Alta's team, they were always there to help with any worries I had and done so very quickly.

LOVED my dress

I had the best experience at Alta Costura. I got married last month, and had so many compliments on my dress, how unique it was and how well it fitted. They had a huge range of dresses and Sarah was fantastic, giving me all the time I needed to try on dresses and moving me towards my dream dress based on what I liked and didn't about others I tried. She also ordered me the PERFECT size so I didn't need any alterations, saving me hundreds!! The staff were so helpful, communication was fantastic the whole time and I'd definitely recommend anyone to shop there!

Made me feel amazing!

Where do I start!? From the second I walked through the door I felt like a valued customer, the ACB Team did everything to make sure I found my dress they helped me with finding all the right accessories and took the time to make sure I was happy, comfortable and answer any questions. They're always so amazing whenever I contact them and no query it too big or difficult. Honestly the best experience!

The perfect experience

I was extremely nervous to find a wedding dress. I was recovering from a surgery, getting used to a new body shape and getting stronger after an injury and truly thought I’d, at best, find something I wouldn’t hate.

Instead the ladies made me so comfortable and happy that I found my dream dress - it had pockets ;)

I laughed my way through my appointment and enjoyed every second.

Each corresponding appointment was a joy and I have recommended them to every other bride I know.

Lovely shop. Well worth a visit!

I visited Alta Costura with my Mum and sister several month ago and found my dream dress. We found the customer service in the shop to be incredible, Jade helped me find and try on my dress and she was so lovely and every interaction I had with the shop since buying my dress has been a lovely experience with the whole team being wonderful. I found the shop to have a wide selection of styles and we did not feel rushed or pressured which was a win. I would highly recommend people visit!!
