Real Bride Story: Demi wearing Monique Lhuillier for her Yarra Valley wedding
My appointment at Helen Rodrigues was the first time I had felt truly comfortable at a wedding dress fitting. Unlike some of my earlier try-on experiences, my appointment at HR started with Nicole sitting me down and asking about my style, what I love about my body, fabrics, textures and silhouettes to ascertain an understanding of what it was I was looking for. It was the first time I felt I was working with someone who had true expertise around dressing a woman’s body and the dress I ultimately selected was pulled by Nicole after she’d taken into account my feedback and encouraged me to try something unexpected. It had multiple features that accentuated the features I’d mentioned I’d be keen to highlight and her expertise truly shone through in knowing how to hero that.

Could not recommend Helen and her team enough. From calling up and booking my very first appointment to the very final fitting they were amazing and SO accommodating when it came to booking appointments, especially as I wasn’t from Sydney. I went to Helen for one dress and walked away with 2! When it came to alterations Helen made sure my dresses were nothing short of perfect, looking at every detail. She created a very stress free and calm experience.

I cannot thank Helen and her team enough for helping me find the dress I have always dreamed of I knew I wanted a Monique Lhuillier gown for a long time and as soon as I saw this gown I knew it was the perfect one for me! I called Helen’s team and they said it had literally just arrived for the Trunk Show and I was able to seamlessly book an appointment for that weekend. It was the first dress I tried on and I immediately fell in love! Helen’s team made the whole process so seamless and it was utter perfection when the gown arrived and after the final alterations were made it truly fit like a glove and I got so many compliments on the day about how beautiful the gown was! I couldn’t recommend Helen and her team more. Thank you for much for helping with the magic of our day.

I cannot thank Helen enough for helping me choose my dream gowns. From initial enquiry to styling, fittings and dress collection, everything was perfect. Helen went above and beyond to order in my ceremony gown from Monique Lhuillier, which wasn’t stocked in her store, and when I tried it on, it was love at first sight! I also absolutely loved my reception gown, it was pure magic. Choosing my dresses was a special part of my wedding journey and it was the greatest pleasure to have Helen as an important part of it, I will truly cherish this experience forever.

It is a rare luxury to say you found ‘the dress’ at your first bridal appointment, but with Helen and her team, that’s exactly what happened. As soon as I tried on my first gown, I knew I wouldn’t be searching in any other boutique. After trying on my second, I knew I had found my gown.

From the moment I got engaged, I knew that I would be getting my dress from Helen Rodrigues Bridal. Helen stocked my dream designer, Monique Lhuillier and I had read other testimonials boasting such an amazing experience at HRB. Their brand knowledge and working with all different shapes and sizes is part of the reason why I knew HRB would be for me.

Helen is the most professional bridal stockist I had come across. She made me feel like an absolute princess entering her store and my experience was wonderful from the first fittings all the way through to the final adjustments. Not to mention the sound styling advice. Not only does she stock some of the most exquisite bridal labels on the planet, but many come exclusive to her so you do feel truly special.
