I had the best time with the wonderful staff at Alta Costura bridal. I came in feeling abit nervous, worried about how my body would look in a dress and worried I wouldn't find "the one" as I was so overwhelmed and wasn't sure what I wanted. The shop is absolutely stunning with beautiful romantic decor that really helps you get into the wedding mood. Jade was so helpful and looked after me, the people with me and even brought out a box of toys for the little ones I brought along! Jade was the one who chosen my dress, I felt absolutely incredible in the dress, despite it being corset backed it was so comfortable, the dress quality was absolutely impeccable and it honestly looks like it was made for me! She helped me pick out a wonderful veil and I felt a million dollars. Due to being able to have a payment plan I could get the dress of my dreams. The seamstress was wonderful too! Helping me picking out my tiara and along with the rest of the team helped me feel really relaxed and beautiful the whole time I was in, even if most of the time I had little ones with me. I had the best bridal experience and I can thank the team enough for their wonderful care and kindness during such an important time. Thank you all at Alta Costura Bride Maidstone x

I had an appointment today with Sarah, and she was so amazing and helpful! I’ve been set on a black dress forever, and any bridal shop or boutique I’ve ever spoken to have always tried to sway me to white, not accommodate my choices. However, Sarah rallied all the black dresses (which was a really good selection!!) and we also tried on some white ones too, just for feel and shape. We ended up with about 12 dresses to try! But we ended up trying on 7, and in that, we found my dress! Sarah really made me feel at ease, and she knew quickly what I was comfortable with, and what made me feel best. She was so attentive and really knew what to pick out for me. For what I thought was going to be an awful experience because I’m a curvier girl, was actually one of the most relaxed, exciting, and most confidence-boosting experience! Thank you Sarah for the most enjoyable experience in wedding planning so far!

From the moment I walked in, Lauren took control and made me feel really relaxed. She talked me through the process and allowed me to take a look through the selection of gowns. With had a nice number to try along with different styles. Lauren was very professional, quick and in control, but allowing me freedom to get feel for the dresses. The last dress was a show stopper and resulted in me saying ‘Yes to the Dress’! Measurements weee all taken and Lauren had these doubled checked too, for peace of mind. Thank you Lauren, you was an absolute delight. The little gift was lovely and I loved the chalk heart with my name on. Them little touches make the difference.

I love every experience I have had with Alta Costura so far, I've just had my first fitting and as always the staff where so lovely and accomodating. I had my toddler with me and they even brought toys out for her and have her biscuits bless them. I can't recommend Alta Costura enough, thank you for your hard work ladies.

I was upset and nervous with bridal shopping, especially after unexpectedly losing my Dad and not wanting to face reality.. I'd had a few terrible dress experiences before, so I didn't hold out much hope... HOWEVER, from the moment I walked in, I was made to feel at ease, fabulous & most importantly - listened to! I felt seen, heard & totally awesome by the end of it! It was as if I'd found my soul sisters! The whole team were absolutely fantastic, even to recommending the perfectly suited seamstress for me and my requests; Tracy was fantastic and brought my dream dress to life! We even had matching handbags! If anyone is gonna go dress shopping, The Alta girls have got you! 1000% recommend!

I had a wonderful experience during my first bridal appointment. As someone who was extremely nervous at the whole idea of dress shopping, Jessica put me at ease and after trying multiple styles really helped narrow down what I wanted, finding some beautiful choices that she thought would suit what I was looking for. 100% recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience, Lauren made me feel so comfortable and went hunting around for the perfect dress once she got a taste of my style. From the minute we entered the store it was so welcoming and relaxed Lauren even managed to fit me in for a second slot which is when I said yes to my dress. Even my two children (9&7) enjoyed the cake and pink lemonade :) thank you again!!

I had such a lovely experience at your shop. Sarah was a dream to work with and made the whole experience so enjoyable and relaxed, I really had so much fun. I especially liked how many dresses I was able to try on and then shortlisting it down, this was a great approach. Your selection of dresses are wonderful. I’m still considering my dress, but there was one I had my eye on at your store that I’m highly considering. Thanks for a great experience and for all the helpful staff I dealt with on the day x

I had my first appointment for wedding dress try on at Alta Costura, with the lovely Jade, she was amazing and so helpful. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She knew exactly what i had in mind for options to try, aswell as other recommendations to try. The shop is beautiful and they have so many gorgeous dresses to choose from. I could not fault anything with the process and it was the best experience for me with my mum, nan and sister. Thank you for such a special day.

Amazing, managed to squeeze me in for an appointment after a disappointing day of trying on dresses in other shops. Me and my daughter arrived such a warm welcoming from everyone, made to feel comfortable from the very start. After an hour I had that feeling and ordered my dream dress, i honestly would recommend to anyone looking for the dream experience.

I had an amazing experience with the lovely Jo, she made me feel confident straight away, it was lovely being able to look at all the dresses. Jo was so empathetic and was able to see when I was overwhelmed and reassure me, it was also evident how happy she was for me when I found my dress. She was also so honest with me about pricing etc and answered all my questions. I'd recommend this place to anyone

The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the shop offered a large selection of beautiful dresses to choose from. The lady assisting me was very helpful and kind and made me feel comfortable throughout. I was allowed to browse the dresses and choose dresss i wished to try on (unlike another bridal shop i had visited who did not allow this and picked dresses for on .y behalf). I felt listened too and was offered further dresses to try in addition to those I picked myself depending on my likes/dislikes. I am pleased to say that I said 'yes' to a beautiful dress and I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day. Thank you Alta Costura x

What a lovely salon. I had such a lovely experience searching for my wedding dress! I was able to try on many different dresses without feeling pressured to hurry up or make a decision. Lots of different styles to try on. And I was able to confidently say yes to the dress! Thank you Alta Costura!

I love your shop! All staff have been so friendly since the first day walking in. They make you feel comfortable which is especially important with it being a vulnerable experience in terms of stepping out of your comfort zone. The seamstress we met with Ines (hope I’ve spelt that correctly) was wonderful and I look forward to working with her. Thank you all so much x
