Altar Bridal

did and you won’t regret it!

h! With above and beyond customer service and great discounts available, I said yes to the dress without hesitation. Nancy and Sarah are a hilarious and kind mother-daughter duo. They listened to my feedback, graciously accommodated for my budget and timeline, and provided a fun and engaging atmosphere. Altar is an amazing bridal boutique, I would highly recommend.

d they helped me to find my PERFECT dress, all while staying within my budget! Not to mention that they were the perfect hype team as well. I cannot say enough good things about the both of them and Altar Bridal!! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone searching for not only their dream dress, but an awesome experience as well :)

you have got to visit Altar Bridal!

g us. She's a very effective & kind communicator. When I found a dress, Nancy & Sarah were just as excited as I was, and that was a truly meaningful experience. Nancy was also very intentional about staying within my budget.

iendly. I LOVED that they have a special going on in December where when you pick your dress, you also get to open a present with a deal inside. My present ended up having a 10% off my dress so I was excited! Their prices are very reasonable and I will definitely recommend to any friend looking for a dress

ob. Initially, I had not planned on shopping at Altar because I had a strict budget for my dress and was worried I wouldn’t be able to find something within my budget at such a high-end shop. However, I accidentally stumbled upon some of the sample dresses available off the rack, and found one by my dream designer. As in, the designer I’ve had pinned on Pinterest for years but never dreamed I’d get to wear because her dresses are never sold in Kansas (and are wildly expensive). However, when I called the shop Sarah told me the sample dress was still in stock, was exactly my size, and had dropped in price below my budget. Naturally, I freaked out, and was desperate to come try it on. The shop closed at 6 and I wouldn’t be able to get there until after that time, but Sarah graciously offered to stay open late for me. My mom and I got there about 6:05 and didn’t leave until 7:30. Even though it was well past closing, Sarah stayed open for us and was remarkably attentive and helpful the entire time. I fell in love with the dress the second I put it on, but was worried I’d end up with dress regret if I bought the first bridal gown I ever tried on! Sarah then went and picked out 4 other (beautiful) dresses in different styles and price ranges so I could feel comfortable in my decision making. At no point was she pushy or trying to make a sale, and she never tried to hurry us along. All she wanted was for us to have a good experience and pick whatever dress felt right, even if it wasn’t one of her own! I am incredibly thankful for Altar and the fantastic experience that I had here. I only went to one shop for all my bridal needs, but couldn’t imagine having to go anywhere else! I’ll be heading back soon to pick out my veil and jewelry (they have BEAUTIFUL options!!!) and will be recommending Altar to every future bride! Thank you again ladies! Can’t wait to show off this beauty next year!

e process, even after I purchased. I also purchased my earrings there and will recommend to everyone!

ar I didn't expect to find my dress, but it was the first dress I tried on there and it made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. Thank you for all of your help and for the perfect dress for my day!

edgeable! I ended up finding the perfect dress! I suggest going here if you're just a little nervous or overwhelmed with the wedding dress process. They will put your mind at ease and make you feel comfortable!

dealt with my emotions like a complete champ and was so calm and sweet and understanding. I was nervous that I didn’t love my dress anymore and not once did she try to convince me otherwise.... she clearly knew that once I put my dress on again in my actual size that I would love it again. The staff is sweet, professional, and great at providing the experience that all brides want. I felt like I was the only bride in the world.

ing it to the finishing touches they were amazing. I would recommend Altar not only for their dresses but for the outstanding customer service!

alterations etc. They also have recommendations post wedding for getting your dress professionally cleaned. Their gowns are beautiful & I would recommend this Bridal Store to anyone. Thanks again for all your help the past several months!

re I even arrived. They let me know they did not have that specific Blush By Hayley Paige dress, but ordered it in just for my appointment from another bridal store. Sara was there for me every step of the way (and so many different appointments to get everything just perfect). We ordered a matching veil, got accessorized with a few other sweet touches and had the best experience with their alterations lady. I can't wait to take my younger sister to Altar when she is engaged and planning her wedding.

autiful boutique to the moment I walked down the aisle on my wedding day. Sara was absolutely AMAZING throughout the entire process. So welcoming, genuine and attentive. I never once felt pressured, uncomfortable or "sold to" while working with her. And I loved that I could see all of the dresses in the shop, unlike some where they are all in the back and have to be pulled for you. I purchased the top and skirt I came in to see immediately after trying it on and love it to this day. From first trying on and ordering, to picking up my finished and perfectly steamed dress, Altar Bridal and Sara were very communicative and professional every step of the way. Every time I came into the shop I felt like a valued customer that was remembered and important. Beautiful boutique, great dress selection, AMAZING people and phenomenal service. I would 110% recommend anyone I know to go here. Thank you Altar and Sara, for helping to make my wedding day everything I pictured!

ever thought I would pick but was the perfect dress for me. I could not recommend them more!

autiful and comfortable. Couldn’t be more happy with my experience, and will be forever grateful to Sara and her team!!

odating to me and my entourage. I would give more stars if I could!

e decision-making process. The bridal gown search is stressful, but not with Altar :)

But we'll see" I was floored at what a rude statement this woman just made. I ended up buying the dress and paid in cash for it and left. I came there with the intent on buying a dress and thankfully im a confident person because that could have easily upset another woman. Im actually mad now though that i didnt ask for a manager because i didnt want that woman getting the commission for my dress.

t I was a "plus-size bride" and I never felt like my options were limited or that I was being judged. I also used Altar for all my accessories! Bonus, Sara transported my dress to and from the tailor for alterations AND held on to the dress for me until two days before my wedding. Sara kept me right on budget with my dress and below budget with my accessories and I didn't feel like I had to compromise on anything!

came in. The team at Altar Bridal helped make my dress shopping/alteration process enjoyable and smooth. I would tell any bride to look for a dress at Altar Bridal!

ot there 5 minutes before the doors were set to open, and they excitedly let me & one other bride in early. It was not appointment based due to the sale, but I got my own private room that was beautiful and Laura helped the entire time I was there, bringing in dresses based off what I said I wanted to try on. I tried on about 8 dresses marked anywhere from $599 - $999, amazing prices (some were marked down lower than that)! The dress I saw on Instagram was the first one I tried on, and the one I ended up buying! Laura was SO helpful. If they ever host another Sample Sale more brides should go because it was a wonderful experience! I didn't expect to find my dress there or so soon, so only my mom and older sister were there with me. Laura offered to schedule an appointment for us to go back in a few weeks to try it on again for my mom, both sisters, future Mother-In-Law & Sister-In-Law so they can see it and we can drink champagne to celebrate! Amazing service! I can't thank Altar enough!

ng with very much beading or anything extravagant. Overall, I was pretty unhappy with my experience.

hrough the whole process! The dress I found ended up being a sample dress and was just perfect! Dede made me feel so confident in my purchase and didn't make me feel like there was any pressure in taking some time between my appointment and purchasing the dress. Every time I tried my dress on after purchasing it, I loved it more and more. I visited the store over the summer during one of the sales and was able to pick out earrings and a belt for my dress. I used their recommendation of Fine Stitch for all my dress alterations and I loved that after purchasing I never had to transport the dress to and from locations. The communication was amazing for where my dress was and it was wonderful not having to worry about my dress until picking it up for the big day. I loved my experience with Altar and would definitely recommend them! Thank you for helping me feel so beautiful and perfect for my big day!

and let you try on a variety of styles even if you weren't the sample size. She also made comments about how much every dress I tried on cost in front of my entire party. I would not recommend going here.

Sara Sarles is. I was nervous about trying wedding dresses on because I don't like feeling pressured, I don't like other people's opinions (only my mom was with me), and I don't like buying expensive things (lol), but Sara just wiped those fears right out of my mind the moment I met her and made me feel comfortable, confident, at ease, and completely okay with telling her my honest opinions. I knew from Altar's Instagram that they seemed to carry a lot of styles I liked (I am clueless when it comes to designer names and dress material), and Sara pulled out dresses that matched those styles, including the one I ultimately chose. Sara was wonderful throughout the whole process, keeping me updated on the status of my dress and handling the transport of my dress to the alterationist, and allowing me to ask her every dumb question in the book. She is awesome and she was a wonderful ray of sunshine throughout my entire wedding planning process.

were so friendly and patient. I had seen some photos of dresses I liked, but wasn’t sure what was going to look best on me. They brought multiple styles to help me figure out what I liked – which I did. This was my only salon appointment and I purchased my dress and veil the same day. Altar stored my dress, and Sara made follow up calls to remind me about fittings and gown pick up. I had a wonderful experience and loved my gown. Thank you Altar!

n and they said the designer wouldn't do it! That told me that Sara has a good relationship with the designers, which is awesome! My dress turned out perfect for my August 2017 wedding. I couldn't be happier!

at my vision. The first dress I tried on was the one I picked! I am so fortunate I had an experience that was so enjoyable! Thank you Altar for everything!

their price point, but I didn't for a second feel I was sacrificing or missing out on amazing dresses. I loved every dress they pulled for me and I was given a lot of beautiful options. My Mother and Mother-In-Law were meeting for the first time and they made us all feel so comfortable while making this an exciting and memorable experience. I live out of state so once I chose my dress Sara and her team went the extra mile to make sure my dress was stored in safe keeping and kept in touch with me until I picked it up for the fittings for the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, I would recommend them to every bride!

fitting and then finding the right veil and ribbon. I went in wanting one style of dress and came out with a completely different style. If I was unsure of something they would help me to try and envision everything so that it was exactly as I dreamed. The girls were incredibly communicative throughout the whole process and everything arrived in a timely manner. I could not have asked for a better experience! Please don't go anywhere else except Altar Bridal!

d veils, along with the decor made me feel like a princess. My consultant, Gale, was amazing! The dress she put me in first turned out to be the one, but I didn’t know at first because there were so many beautiful ones I didn’t think I could decide without trying on several. Gale pulled some truly amazing dresses that fit into my budget and complemented by body beautifully. She is truly talented at her job! I loved everything she put me in and I appreciated that she put me in all sorts of different styles. She helped me find the perfect dress and some beautiful straps to personalize the look for me. I met Sara once I had made my final decision, and they both stayed past close so my mom, friends, and I could celebrate with a bottle of bubbly. It was such an amazing day! Since that day Sara has kept in touch with me at all important points. I recently returned when my dress arrived, and my second experience was just as fabulous. I can’t wait for all of my friends and family to see my dress, and I am so thankful to Altar for helping me with the most exciting decision of the whole wedding planning process. I cannot recommend Altar enough!

Sara. Their communication and customer service could not have been better. I purchased the second dress I tried on and from the purchase, to the accessories, to alterations, to steaming the dress and picking it up for the big day, they made the process so easy and enjoyable. I would not recommend going anywhere else!!!

d she was so great to work with me everytime I flew to Kansas City to fit me into the shop to try on my dress. We met Sara another time I was in the store and she is the sweetest. She was so helpful. She made my flower girl dresses that matched my wedding dress. They were the cutest!! They went the extra mile for me in everything I needed-I highly recommend them!

o many wonderful things I could say about Sara Sarles! She was absolutely incredible! Sara was so attentive and very observant to what I was looking for. She pulled on particular dress, a Mikaella dress, that I fell in love with. It was the first dress I tried on and there was no going back from there. Sara helped me throughout the entire process and made sure that I was kept in the loop on what was happening with my dress. I was so thankful for this as I live in Dallas, making it a little bit harder to communicate/make things happen. I had such an incredible experience here with my mom and my stepmom and would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone in search of a beautiful gown! Thank you for the bottom of my heart for your help, I cannot wait to share pictures with you once I've got them back!

one I tried on! Sara said, "I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but it will look amazing on you." And she was right! I fell in love! She was great throughout the entire process - picking out the dress, trying it on when it arrived, setting me up with an alteration shop, and helping get it cleaned and preserved all while being honest about prices and being flexible when scheduling appointments. I loved working with Altar Bridal!

s were limited. In the end, the consultant understood what I was loving and not, and convinced me to try on a two-piece (which I couldn’t believe). Turns out, she was 100% correct and it was everything I wanted. They made the process as stress-free as possible and didn’t push me at all to make a decision. After saying yes to the dress, Altar was great at being professional and communicating with me on all the next steps. Sara even transported my dress from the tailor for alterations and held on to the dress for me until the literal day before my wedding.

gh but didn't push me to make a decision. I absolutely loved my dress and accessories. Everything came together beautifully! I also loved that they worked with the tailor to transport my dress to and from, one less thing to worry about! When I picked my dress up on Wednesday for my Saturday wedding it was perfectly pressed and steamed. It was packaged so well that I didn't have to touch it up at all the day of the wedding. Definitely pay Altar a visit when you're hunting for the perfect gown - you won't be disappointed!

ing for a dress EASY and FUN! Sara is so bubbly and made me feel at ease instantly, like I had known her for years. I came in with an idea of what I wanted and after trying on a few dresses in that style, realized it was definitely not going to work for me. My consultant took every comment I made about the dresses I tried on and pulled a dress that she thought could work based on my feedback and it was THE DRESS! It truly felt like she knew my style better than I knew it myself by the end of the appointment. THANK YOU ALTAR BRIDAL, you helped make my special day even more special!

d hard to fix it. In the end, I never knew the difference. Thanks so much!

tful of my budget and I didn't feel pressured at any time. I didn't end up getting my dress here, but I would highly recommend it to any future brides.

hey could care less to help me find something better. I felt their attitude while helping me was completely fake. They got mad at my mom for touching the gowns and took offense when I didn't like something. People in my party felt that all the staff in the store hovered over us like we were criminals.

and she brought me everything but that. It was like she intentionally brought me everything that I said I didn't want. She brought me awful dress after awful dress. Then at one point she brought me in a two piece dress. As a bride I would never wear a two piece on my wedding day. Young girls wear two pieces at prom. I told her 3 times I did not want to try it on but she insisted and then left me in it and went and started looking at other dresses. It was just such an awful experience. After an hour my mother and aunt were so mortified of what an awful job she was doing and they could clearly see how upset I was went and asked to pick out a few dresses for me and they were ok. However, by that time I was over it and left. Save yourself the time and do not schedule an appointment here.

ly supportive. After seeing the gowns at the post-race bridal expo fashion show, I knew that this is where I wanted to find my dream dress- and I did! Sara made our shopping experience so personal and fun. She is the best person you could have helping you with this big decision! My mom and MOH also loved having her there to help. After I found my dress, Sara even stayed past closing to give us a chance to celebrate. Dede and Sara are exceptionally organized and had great communication through our engagement process, so we never had to worry about anything. The alterations contact they referred us to did a fantastic job. I got my veil and jewelry through Altar Bridal as well, which was so perfect with the dress thanks to Sara’s help (I had no idea where to even start). When my mom and I went to pick up everything a few days before the wedding, it was really fun getting to share our excitement (and many emotions) with Sara. Everything was very personal and everything about our experience with Altar was truly above and beyond. I wondered if I would feel like a “bride” on my wedding day, and because of how much I loved my dress, veil and jewelry from Altar, I really did!

that I had saved and they picked out 10 GORGEOUS gowns that got to laugh and cry and celebrate over. I feel that they helped me hit the nail on the head of exactly what I wanted for my fairy tale winter wedding.

e. MUCH better than anywhere else that I went to dress shop. But even beyond just going there to dress shop, Sara and the staff were great at keeping in touch with updates on my dress and accessories, when things would be in, answering questions I had about style, care, preservation, etc. Could not have imagined a better group to work with for all things wedding dress!

th, she made everything easy and smooth. I found something that fit my style just a little bit better elsewhere, but honestly this was the best shopping experience overall. It is worth stopping by, even if you don't find THE dress there. Many thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it!

for. We also were very pleased recommendations for tailor/seamstress and dress cleaners for after the wedding. Lastly- Altar has a b-e-a-utiful selection of gowns! So unique and classic and the quality is outstanding and so very dreamy!

gowns for me to try on also. She definitely understood my style and the look I was going for. I would highly recommend Altar bridal, they made a process that seemed overwhelming to me very simple!

erything happen for me. I cannot recommend Altar highly enough!

ress-free and I loved my dress!!

stead of some other places where they tried to push me into a dress they thought was best. Not only did they help me find my dream dress, but they were wonderful consulting though my alterations and getting everything taken care to ensure it was perfect. Thank you Altar Bridal, especially Meredith and Sara you were amazing to work with!

g that they had wedding dresses. When we got there, they told us they only had bridesmaids dresses (we ended up getting our bridesmaids dresses from them in the end). My mom and I walked into Altar, which is next door to Bella Bridesmaids, and they saw us without a appointment! Sara greeted us and listened to the style I had in mind. She brought 4-5 dresses into the room and I started trying them on. I ended up finding my dress and we came back later in the afternoon with my sister to say "yes to the dress." Sara was so sweet and accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better experience when it came to shopping for my wedding dress. Altar Bridal was really great throughout the entire process. They shipped my dress when it arrived in Kansas to where I live outside of Philadelphia. They let me know when it was going to ship and checked in later to make sure I had gotten it. They even left a hand written note for me in the garment bag. They also made sure I was able to find an alterations place near me. This store and everyone who works there knows how to provide outstanding customer service. I was so happy with them, and my dress was absolutely beautiful!!! I got so many compliments the day of my wedding on the dress. Thank you, thank you, thank you Altar Bridal for everything!

nly one that delivered. When I arrived, they had dresses chosen for me based on my style, including the one I eventually purchased. While all the other appointments ended in tears and confusion, Sara and Meredith understood exactly what I wanted. Once the dress was purchased, they were with me every step of the way, always checking up in with me about next steps and answering my questions with genuine care. I love Altar Bridal!

truly care about you and what you want for your special day. I never once felt pressure to buy. Highly recommend!!!

absolute delight to work with. Within my first consultation she had selected a handful of dresses, based on my description of my dream dress. She did a great job listening to what I had envisioned, and I had a great selection for the first consultation. It's almost hard to imagine a dress on you, especially after having spent God knows how many hours on pinterest! But within the first meeting, I had a great selection of gowns to choose and compare. The dress I tried on in the first consultation was the one, although I wasn't 100% sure when I first tried it on. Sarah assured me that since I was almost a year out from my wedding that I had time to reflect on it. She wasn't trying to get me to buy something right away, or to get a sale like a lot of consultants do. I came back for a second consultation where I revisited that dress, among others. I was able to to come to the conclusion on my own that the dress I had tried on was "the one." I couldn't have made that decision without Sarah. Sarah was very kind and very thoughtful throughout the process. She guided me through all the possible options and discussed alterations with each dress. She is very good about listening to what you like so that you can find the dress that you will love forever and smile over when you look at your photos. The whole time I was there, I felt very well taken care of. Dress shopping can be overwhelming, and Sarah took great care of me in those consultations. I found the dress I said yes to, and could not be more thrilled! Dress shopping can be exhausting, but I was amazed with how effortlessly Altar Bridal takes care of their brides. The store is gorgeous, and they have a great selection of dresses, and a wonderful staff who takes care of you. I'll definitely be back again to check out those cute little flower girl dresses I saw, and I'm definitely directing my girlfriend's their way! As a bride-to-be, planning a wedding can be chaos and stressful. Treat yourself to Altar Bridal!

feel like the most beautiful bride-to-be she'd ever seen when I first visited her store. I had certain details I was looking for - lace, keyhole back, not strapless. Dede didn't even miss a beat - she said, 'I have the perfect dress for you, but let's try on a few others first, just to be sure.' I tried on a few, that were beautiful but just not 'the one', before finally trying on the Augusta Jones that she had in mind. It was everything I was looking for and more! She knew my vision down to the smallest details. When I went in the week of my wedding to pick up my gown, the excitement she showed me was like that I'd expect from an old friend! She is a beautiful person inside and out. Altar was easy to work with every step of the way, helping me make some custom alterations to the gown and then referring me to a top notch tailor for my final fittings. In the end, my gown was absolutely perfect. Thank you Dede, and all your wonderful gals at Altar, for making my experience even better than I could have hoped for, and for making me feel like a showstopper on my wedding day!

last-minute before I drove 45 minutes to Altar Bridal. The store was completely empty, and her rationale was that she'd have to answer the phone if anyone called... Although the dresses there are beautiful, the care I received there was a major disappointment!

been so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. I first went to Altar Bridal because they were having a sample sale. I had a vague idea of what I wanted; I had a better idea of what I didn't want. My mindset walking into the sample sale was just to get a feel for what was out there. Even though the store was filled with people, I still received quality, one-on-one attention. I walked out that day having said, "Yes," to the dress! In the window was a beautiful Sara Gabriel Tulle skirt, which was the perfect accessory to layer on top of my dress, particularly since I didn't want a veil. Purchasing the gown was simple and they did all the work coordinating the tailoring with Fine Stitch tailoring (which is also awesome). I just had to show up to the appointments. After my final tailoring appointment, my gown was sent back to Altar for final pressing. All I had to do was pick it up the day before all the wedding festivities began. Then, after getting married, I received a congratulations email and a hand-written postcard in the mail. They also followed up with me about a company they use for gown cleaning and preservation. Again, they will take care of all of that for me as well. I just can't thank Altar enough for all of their help taking items off of my checklist and providing me with such a breathtaking look for my wedding.

those styles on me. Dede pulled some dresses I wouldn't have pulled for myself and I'm so glad she did! This was an all over amazing experience- they seriously went above and beyond my expectations and made me feel so comfortable.

was so sweet and gave me the perfect amount of advice and space to make my decision. I am the happiest bride! Thank you so much!

ncluded everything on my wedding dress wish list. I also was able to get my veil and earrings from the store with her help; she really has an eye for things, and I loved my wedding day look so so much! Communicating with them was easy. After my wedding I dropped my dress off and they sent it to get cleaned which made things simple for me. Compared to other stores this staff is well above average, they are genuine and honest and the stores selection felt more unique than others I had visited. I hands-down recommend all brides to go here! Thank you Alter Bridal!

They have a great variety and I was so surprised to find so many dresses I liked. If you want to find "the one"I suggest going straight to Altar.

simply stuck. Dede brought out a dress that she thought looked like it fit my local wedding venue (and met the other requirements I was looking for), and I INSTANTLY fell in love. She was so helpful and genuinely excited for me once I found "the one." Sara helped throughout the rest of the process, from fittings to jewelry to dress preservation. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or more helpful staff. If you are looking for a great place to find your wedding dress, this is the right place! It is clean and cozy, and the people are just fantastic. They give you lots of one-on-one attention and support. I'd highly recommend Altar Bridal!!

eable about the different materials, laces, silhouettes, etc. The level of professionalism and hospitality that Altar Bridal provides is second to none. I highly recommend Altar Bridal for a perfect wedding dress shopping experience.

nt to me that my parents were a big part of the day. My dad was also in a wheelchair and the store was accessible and comfortable for him. My parents and I had a wonderful time and found the dress together. Although my dad passed away two weeks before our wedding, I found such comfort in knowing that he and my mom helped me pick out my dress. I'm forever grateful for Altar and their staff for making that day such a special moment for the three of us. Thank you!

ed my group so well! They had a great tailor that they recommended and it turned out so perfect! They followed up with emails regarding the fittings and the wedding which I thought was so nice. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

for my big day! Not only did I find my dress, Sara contacted the designer to help me find the perfect veil and accessories. The entire process, from choosing the dress, to fittings, and final pick up was flawless. I can only say fabulous things about this bridal store.

on my dress to help me out! I never felt judged when trying my dress on because I was pregnant and man did I feel big! Haha. I can only wish to relive my wedding over and over again just to have the same experiences again. They really made my day extra special.
