✨ “We believe every bride is wonderfully made, and her gown should be just as unique.”
​At Philadelphia Bridal Alterations, we consider it a blessing to serve brides, honoring not just the gown but the sacred moment it represents. Every stitch, every detail, and every fitting is handled with care, prayer, and intention—so that you feel radiant, confident, and at peace as you step into your wedding day.
Timeline & Priority Services
To ensure excellence, we request that all bridal clients book their first fitting at least 8 weeks before the wedding, and non-bridal clients schedule at least 4 weeks prior to their event or special occasion. This allows time for prayerful, meticulous work on every garment.
For appointments closer than the recommended timeline, we offer priority services with fees reflecting the elevated focus and expedited work required:
Bridal Clients:
-
Rush (4–6 weeks before wedding) – your gown is prioritized above other projects.
-
Immediate (2–3 weeks before wedding) – full atelier devotion to your gown.
-
SOS / Emergency (1 week or less before wedding) – concierge-level attention for urgent bridal needs.
Non-Bridal Clients:
-
Rush (2 weeks before event) – your garment receives priority scheduling above standard timelines.
-
Immediate (1 week before event) – full focus from our atelier to ensure perfection.
-
SOS / Emergency (within 72 hours of event) – a rare, all-hands-on-deck service to complete your garment in time for your special day.
These priority services allow us to pause other projects and devote extended attention exclusively to your garment, ensuring exceptional quality and peace of mind.
Custom Designs:
For clients desiring one-of-a-kind garments:
-
Brides: Schedule 12 months prior to your wedding.
-
Bridal Party / Prom Clients: Schedule 6-12 months prior to your event.
Each custom design is tailored to your body, style, and vision. Every detail is crafted with care, reflecting your uniqueness, so your garment becomes a statement of both elegance and grace.
Custom Designs
For brides who desire something truly one-of-a-kind, we create custom-designed gowns tailored to your body, taste, and vision. We craft each piece to reflect your beauty, your spirit, and your story. A gown created here cannot be duplicated or found off the rack—it’s designed to make you feel special, unique, and authentically you.
Alterations
Even an off-the-rack gown can feel couture with expert tailoring. Our alterations refine fit, enhance details, and add personalized touches, turning your garment into a piece you’ll love to wear. Each adjustment is carefully made so that your gown celebrates both your body and the grace you carry.​
​
Redesign
Some garments carry memories worth preserving, while others are ready for a new story. We can redesign cherished gowns—from a mother’s wedding dress to an older personal gown—into something fresh and meaningful. Whether it becomes a christening gown, anniversary dress, or another special piece, our redesigns honor your past while celebrating your present and future.
