Castle Couture is currently celebrating 10 years of business. Owners Marie and Laura met whilst managing a bridal shop for five years prior to opening Castle Couture in 2007. With retail and dressmaking skills between them they could see that the needs of discerning Northern Irish brides were not being met. They took the leap to offer only high end designers and have gone from strength to strength securing exclusive British designers along the way. The unique setting of Castle Couture within the courtyard of the stunning 17th Century Galgorm Castle adds to the fairytale experience that brides receive at Castle Couture. The open, spacious boutique is full of light and brides can see at once the latest wedding gowns by Jenny Packham, Suzanne Neville, Amanda Wakeley and Badgley Mischka. The bridesmaids are also catered for with beautiful collections by JLM Couture and Bari Jay. Privacy and attention are of utmost importance, so booking an appointment is essential. Contact Marie or Laura on 02825650990 or email enquiries@castlecouture.com

We will always welcome you should your timescales be less than this, however please note that most designers have normal lead-times of between 14 to 20 weeks for your gown to be made to order for you, and you also need to allow time for fittings and alterations. Saturday appointments do tend to get booked weeks in advance, so if you wish to visit on a Saturday, please arrange your appointment as soon as possible by calling us or use the online enquiries form. If you need to cancel your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice as we do often have a waiting list.
Your Wedding, Your Story.

Marie & Laura, what can I say? you are two complete diamonds. I couldn’t imagine a Bride going anywhere other than Castle Couture. Your salon is stunning but its the two of you that make it the most special place to find the dress of your dreams. I will never be able to thank you both enough for everything you did for me - you really are two special ladies and I have told every Bride I know to ‘call off the search’ and ‘look no further than Marie and Laura’. The both of you (and of course the amazing Suzanne) have a very special place in my heart

Hi Marie and Laura, I got married in July and got so many compliments on my dress. I absolutely loved it, it definitely was the one. Emma and Julie also looked amazing in their bridesmaids dresses. Thank you so much for all your help and advice throughout the whole process I will certainly recommend Castle Couture to any bride looking to find their perfect dress.

Hello Laura and Marie... Sorry it’s taken so long to get in touch. Only just feel like I’m returning to normal after a dreamy few months. We had an amazing day and felt incredible in my Amanda Wakely gown. Thank you thank you thank you so very much for your guidance. As a very indecisive bride your honest approach was just what I needed! Each time I visited I felt free to try on as many dresses and styles without any pressure to make a decision to buy( which I found in so many other bridal stores) here are some pictures feel free to share if you like I’ll send a few more as there are hundreds !!! Thanks again ladies you are amazing at what you do keep it up xx
