Helen and her team not only helped me find the perfect gown but also my sister. She took the time to really get to know me, my family and know what would be fitting for my big day! Although we were flying in from interstate, I knew that when we arrived we would be well taken care of and end up knowing we would be returning home with the perfect dress! I can’t thank her enough for everything!!
Nicole Wore Elie Saab and Suzanne Neville For Her South African Wedding
The process of getting a dress made from scratch wasn’t for me. I’ve always been a lover of high fashion, even working as a personal shopper and stylist when I lived in London; and I always wanted my dress to be the creation of an esteemed designer. Before I even had a boyfriend, I knew I would find my eventual wedding dress at HRB. Helen has the most incredible and most thoughtfully curated selection of top end gowns – it was a no brainer.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at Helen Rodrigues.
I had my eye on this specific gown from Elie Saab for a while however wanted to try on a few different styles to make sure I had picked the right one. Having multiple world-renowned bridal designers and various styles in the store allowed me to try on an array of dresses to help me make up my mind. The moment I saw myself in this dress I knew it was the one.

Both Helen and Sophie treat you like you are part of their family. From the first appointment walking into the shop, it felt like I was walking into home. You are at ease, you don’t feel overwhelmed, you don’t feel rushed to make any decisions and you automatically trust their expertise and knowledge. I think what sets Helen apart is, she genuinely is on this personal experience with you the entire way. She gets to know her brides, she makes every appointment so memorable and personal, you just want to stay in the shop for longer to chat!

The entire process from choosing the gown to dress fittings and adjustments was seamless (not literally!). We always felt very welcome, and the HR team went above and beyond to coordinate with the dress designer to make adjustments to the dress so that I could wear it on the day comfortably. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helen Rodrigues.

Jocelyn Wearing Elie Saab - A Real Bride Story
My very stylish friend, Nat was helping on reception in the salon and I asked her to browse around online for some wedding gown inspiration. She said her “heart fluttered” when she came across this Elie Saab gown and her adoration was infectious, I instantly fell in love with it! I couldn’t get the dress in Sydney, London or Dubai, luckily Helen Rodrigues stepped in and helped me find it. I bought the dress before even trying it on!
