A moment of appreciation for our BEAUTIFUL Sarah! 👰♀️🥂
We were so grateful to be able to help Sarah find her perfect dress after a difficult start in her bridal journey at another shop. With only a couple of months to turn things around, we were able to not only find her the perfect dress but also have it altered with custom sleeves, and all in time for her big day! 🎉
Thank you so much Sarah for letting us play such an important role in your wedding - we wish you every happiness in your married life together! 🩷

WELCOME TO ALTA COSTURA BRIDE! We have been providing brides with their dream dresses for over 28 years. We have been voted ‘Best bridal retailer in the South-East’ by The Wedding Industry Awards, and are proud of the service we offer our lovely brides!
After ten years at our premises in Gabriels Hill, we are excited to have now moved to a beautiful and spacious ground floor shop in Maidstone High Street. The new store has so many benefits - as well as being light and airy, it is now much more accessible, being on street level. We have beautifully decorated fitting room suites for the bride and guests to enjoy. The perfect space for you and your bride tribe to come together, relax, and enjoy choosing the perfect dresses!
We are authorised stockists of wedding gowns by all of these talented designers: Mori Lee, Kenneth Winston, Willowby, Beautiful by Enzoani, Enchanted, Phoenix gowns, Julietta and the Venus Woman plus size collections.
Our sample wedding dresses range in sizes from 6 to 32. Our price range for wedding dresses is £295 to around £2,200. The majority of our wedding gowns are priced at under £1,000. Adult bridesmaids start at £179.00.
In a hurry? Most of our gowns can be purchased directly from the rail at a discounted price, or you can order one to be made on our ‘rush’ service. We offer a full in-house alterations service.
Our curvy brides are spoiled for choice, with one of the largest selections of dresses in sizes
20 to 30 in store in Kent, by four designers: Julietta by Mori Lee, Venus Woman, Beautiful Brides Plus, and Envy by Phoenix - as well as some of our most popular designs by Mori Lee in plus sizes.
With over 200 wedding dresses to choose from, we will guide you and help you find ‘The One’! We have ‘walk-in weekdays’ which mean you can pop in any time to see us, no appointment necessary, Monday to Fridays. Saturdays can be super-busy, and are appointment only. Unlike many shops, we don’t charge for appointments. Why not give us a ring now on 01622 688838.
