    The dress looked amazing!
    Marie B.

    I came to Alma's for alterations of a bridesmaid dress, and she did an amazing job! My dress fit perfectly around the waist, but was too large on the top. She fixed it and the dress looked amazing. I got so many compliments on my dress, and I know I wouldn't have if I left it as it was. Alma saved the day! I have another wedding I'm a bridesmaid in this year, plus my own wedding later this year, and I will be bringing both of my dresses back to Alma for alterations! I didn't purchase my wedding dress here, but I did see that she has some beautiful options. I may get my veil here. She is so kind, has fair pricing, and works quickly. Highly recommend for all your bridal alteration needs!

    I'm disappointed in this place. First off, the amount of money I was charged for what I needed for alterations was absolutely insane. I went back several times and almost every time I went in I was charged additional money. Second, the lady would take it upon herself to pin areas and then charge me for it at the end. At my last fitting, it seemed as though everything fit okay but the day of my wedding was a different story. I kept pulling up my dress from the top and the bottom throughout the night because it wasn't sitting on my body correctly and you can see the pads that were sown in. I did not feel comfortable in it. And lastly, the bustle that she added, she sewed in too many pins. Really wanted to love this place especially for how much I was charged but I was extremely disappointed.

    Alma is THE BEST!! I came in short notice not liking the back of my wedding dress. (The back was fully open and I wanted more coverage) Not only did she do the best job on my regular alterations but she built me a whole new back to my dress & it is STUNNING!! It looks so perfect like the dress came with the back she made. She also altered one of my bachelorette dresses and it fit me like a glove. 10/10 recommend Alma for all your alteration needs. (Also was a fraction of the cost of what Miosa would have charged me to build a whole new back to my dress, and add lace, etc.) Love Alma!! Finally found the best alterations place around and will forever be a return customer!

    Alma was so amazing and a joy to meet!! The first wedding dress I tried on was at her cute little boutique and I just had such an amazing time trying on dresses with her. She was very helpful and has really great input on dresses. Once I picked one and it came in she was more fun willing to add the alterations I wanted and did such a great job. I even added sleeves the last minute and she was so happy to do it! Thank you so much Alma for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day

    Alma has a beautiful selection of dresses. She is very kind and patient. I found my dream dress!

    I had purchased my wedding dress at a shop in Folsom but have gone to Alma for years with random small alterations so I knew she would alter my dress well, and she did! She made my simple but elegant dress fitted to me and added a leg slit just how I wanted. Definitely would recommend her for your wedding dress needs.

    Alma was such an amazing help with finding my wedding dress. she has tons of options in her little boutique. I would say dont think because its small theres not a lot of options! I found more dresses here than i did at davids bridal. Alma is super sweet and very informative with dress styles and small things to go along with your dress. She altered my dress beautifully. I ended up with a total of 10 inches taken off because i am short and you cant even tell! She is amazing!

    Alterations done by Alma, Finished product

    Alma is amazing! I was definitely in need of a tailor since moving to Lincoln and she is definitely one of the best. I brought a traditional Indian lehenga for her to alter and she did it so wonderfully! Fit me like a glove after alternations. Alma was very communicative, organized, and super attentive to detail. She is very sweet and respectful. I was super impressed with her work because my lehenga was super big on me. You can fit two of me in it! But Alma worked very hard and intricately to make sure it fit me perfectly. I will definitely be coming back to her for future alterations. I highly recommend!

She did an EXCELLENT job, in a very short amount of time. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is wonderful to work with! I enjoyed the experience and I LOVE my dress! The high quality work and attention to detail is truly remarkable. During our initial phone call, she took the time to answer all of my questions and didn't rush me. She didn't pressure me to go with her, made me feel comfortable and said she would be able to fit me in just in time for my wedding. My first fitting was such a positive experience! She is incredibly bright and insanely talented. She is friendly and personable. When I went to the second fitting to pick up my dress, I was truly stunned. I have never used the word "snatched" before, but she made me look "snatched". I never wanted to take my gown off. She transformed it into a work of art. My mom needed help when steaming my dress on the day of my wedding, and I didn't know what to do. I gave her my phone and had her call Carole. Carole was so kind and helpful and went above and beyond. I am so grateful for Carole! TLDR: Carole is absolutely AMAZING and will make you look and feel BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day.

We came earlier than our appointed time, but they were more than accommodating and had a VIP room ready for us. We had such an amazing experience with Dana. From the moment she walked into the room, we were immediately more excited and eased how anxious our bride was. Dana was very patient with all of us, and always had the best attitude with all of us. Our bride had a Pinterest board of the vision she was going for, and every dress Dana pulled was a hit. We probably "oooh"ed and "ahhhh"ed at every single one. Dana had her try on every kind of style close to the bride's vision "just in case". She ended up saying yes to a dress (the third dress tried on), and Dana put on a whole production with a veil, sleeves, and a bouquet and even had our bride sit with her thoughts for a minute and envision herself in that dress during the wedding. This was such a great experience, that we cancelled our second dress appointment at a different spot. 10/10 experience!

    Genuinely want to write about my experience to warn any future brides of what could happen to them!…read moreWARNING!!! Take caution, as once they secure your money and make the sale, communication is minimal. Save your time and go to a local bridal shop instead!! October 2026: Booked a bridal apt. and tried on several dresses, which went well overall as I returned again for another apt. to say yes to the dress. I purchased the dress, a separate corset, and extra fabric while paying 50% of the total. March 2026: I received the notification that items were ready, so I took the 1.5 - 2hr drive to pick up my items. However, once I arrived, I was then informed that only the dress was available. I tried on the dress to check the fit and make sure all was good. I also remembered discussing what alterations we were considering (hence ordering the extra fabric) from my initial appointments, but no notes were taken down to reference them after ordering. Additionally, the person assisting me was absent for the entirety of the appointment (a different person from my first 2 appointments). Considering alterations, the seamstress assisted me, but made me feel extremely rushed and unheard, even with what seemed like a few appointments occurring in the store. Once that was wrapped up, I was the one to have to request a printout quote of the alteration estimates, only for it to be incorrect and missing part of what was discussed with the seamstress. I asked the estimated date for when the corset & extra fabric would come in, and was told around April when they would let me know. May 2026: Life gets busy, or sometimes things are delayed, but I was the one who called in to see the status of the remaining items. I was told the dress & corset (the dress I already picked up in March) had already come in the previous month, but I was never contacted by Miosa Bride. I was then told the fabric had still not come in and should arrive by the end of May, where they would contact me when ready. June 2026: I still had not received any information about my remaining items and called in again for an update. I was told everything was ready (already had picked up the dress in March), and inquired about shipping options to avoid the additional drive. It was an estimated $35 to ship to my address. I expressed my dissatisfaction with my experience thus far and requested that the shipping fee for the corset & extra fabric could be waived (at this point in time I had already paid in full). I was told that the manager would be informed and would give me a call the following afternoon. The following day Miosa Bride contacts me however, it is the first person who assisted me during my first appointments not a manager. They confirm I want to ship my items, but now quote the delivery for $100 but the address is the same as the previously estimated $35. I reiterate my frustrating experience and ask that the fee be waived. I was told that the manager will be in touch as she was confirmed to be in that day. I am still waiting for the manager to contact me as stated twice before. They have my money and my remaining items, but the manager hasn't contacted me to resolve this. Something that is supposed to be a huge milestone in life has just become unnecessarily stressful, even as a bride who plans way ahead of time. It's not so much about making the wedding date but the events and customer experience leading up to it.

Liz did a fantastic job of wrangling all the wedding party together, organizing the first looks, putting someone in charge to make sure we got some of the food we purchased. I threw last minute add-ons like drone pictures and a remote control car with a 2 yr old in it at her and she handled as the pro she is. We used the recommended flower shop (Camino Flower shop) to provide the flowers. She is such a fun lady to work with. I'm not a person who usually can express exactly what I want, but she read between the lines and created a truely unique bouquet with the blue orchids (did you know there was such a thing?). We also used Cocomont (not included the wedgewood package) to help us with our decoration. This included a elegant rustic wooden panel and huge drapes to go high into the beams. It really added the personal touch we were looking for. Frank's Bakery from Cameron Park was the vendor for our desserts. He made the most delicious lemon bars and cupcakes. Then Grant DJ was our MC, who kept the party going till it was time to turn-off the lights. We were dancing all night long, with no lulls in the music. Overall this is a romantic, elegant, and beautiful venue run by a management who are truely the professionals at what they do. I was able to actually enjoy my wedding and not worry about whether we were on time. This is something you won't hear many brides say, just ask your friends. I loved every minute of my wedding and I will remember it for eternity. Thank you Wedgewood Weddings at David Girard Vineyards!
