Alterations
At Courtyard Bridal, alterations aren't just a final step—they have always been the very heart of what we do. We believe that every bride deserves the confidence of a dress that fits like it was made specifically for her, which is why we take the guesswork out of the process. You should never have to worry about the stress of finding an outside seamstress; instead, we’re honored to look after you every step of the way. From the magical moment you choose "the one" to the day you pick it up, perfectly tailored and ready to wear, our goal is to ensure your journey is as seamless and beautiful as your gown.
