The Altar is Denver’s first high-end bridal consignment boutique, and it’s about time! Located in the Highlands neighborhood, The Altar’s inventory includes New, Couture, Designer, Vintage, Sample, Discontinued and Pre-loved dresses, with a price point for every bride.
The company’s goal is to provide brides with extraordinary dresses at affordable prices, but also allow past brides the opportunity to sell their dresses with a 50% return. They carry all sizes, styles, and colors, with new inventory arriving daily. All dresses are in excellent condition and have been professionally cleaned before being put out on the floor for sale.
The dresses range in size from 2-24 and can all be altered for the perfect fit. If you are looking for a specific dress, The Alter will add you to their priority wait list so that you are the first to be notified when the style or designer comes in. Prices will vary depending on the original cost and age of the dress, but most are priced at 40-75% off of the original cost.
The fun part is that brides get the VIP treatment at The Altar: during your visit, champagne and treats will be available for you and your entourage to help make your experience special.
The Altar also carries flower girl dresses, shoes and accessories. Happy shopping!

If you’re looking for fashionable bags or accessories to give as a bridesmaid gift, look no further than Dsenyo. With variety of shapes, sizes and fabrics, Dsenyo offers a wide array of stylish and unique bags and accessories. But there’s more: this “eco chic” company is one with a mission: creating sustainable accessories inspired by African textiles.
Artist Marissa Perry Saints founded Dsenyo in 2007 after living in Malawi, Central Africa. Marissa combined her African inspiration with experience in fine arts, graphic design and international development. The result? A locally-owned company with unique, contemporary styles that offer form, function and durability for fashion and socially conscious women.
By purchasing Dsenyo handbags and accessories you are supporting community development projects in Africa. In addition to Dsenyo’s main mission of creating stable jobs for women and artisans, the company also gives 3% of sales back to the communities in which they work.
And giving Dsenyo bags or accessories as a bridesmaid gift is good for the planet, too. Dsenyo makes every effort to use low-impact dyes and sustainable fibers like hemp and organic cotton. They reduce waste by composting organic scrap material and re-purposing African textile remnants for use in other products. Their “Old for New” recycling program lets you send back your used Dsenyo bag and receive a 10% discount on your next purchase. Dsenyo will reuse, recycle and compost materials in the old purse.
In many ways, Dsenyo bags and accessories are a gift that keeps on giving! For more information, or to purchase gifts from Dsenyo, please visit www.dsenyo.com.
