Every moment and every detail was nothing but a dream. The service, the attention to detail and the kindness and dedication you receive whenever you are in the shop is unlike anywhere else.

Helen made me feel special from the very first time I met her. I fell in love with her shop when my sister got married years ago. I couldn’t wait until the day would come that I would get to have an experience as extraordinary as hers. Helen made my dream dress come true. We combined two beautiful dresses by Inbal Dror, which I presumed would be impossible, however she knew what I was after and from that moment on it was a breeze as it was in her trusty hands.

Real Bride Monisha wearing Inbal Dror

I could not have been more delighted with my experience with Helen, Sophie and the wonderful team at HR Bridal. From the outset, Helen welcomed me with warmth, humour and a real understanding of the details which matter most when it comes to choosing a gown and accessories. I felt entirely able to put my trust in Helen and the end result was even more as special than I had hoped.

Real Bride Alannah wearing Inbal Dror

My experience with Helen was excellent from start to finish! Having heard horror stories from other brides who had purchased their dresses elsewhere, I was worried that my dress, which was coming from Israel, might not arrive on time due to COVID delays. Helen and her team were responsive to my emails and calls and assured me that I had nothing to worry about and my dress would arrive on time. Fair to say, they were true to their word and my dress arrived in advance of my wedding day! Helen is down to earth, personable, had strong attention to detail and made me feel confident in all decisions I made. I could not recommend Helen and her team highly enough!

Real Bride Anique wearing Inbal Dror Pure

I was really happy with my experience at Helen Rodrigues Bridal. Helen was personable and down-to-earth, so it was great work with her from the start. Living overseas, I only had the opportunity to try on the sample once 10 months before the wedding and then my actual dress less than two weeks out from the big day. Helen ensured this process was seamless - her tailor was fabulous and made sure the dress was comfortable and fit right. Helen was also so responsive along the way to answer all my questions!

Real Bride Julia wearing Inbal Dror Pure

Helen was incredible to work with. She helped me find my dream dress in only one appointment and did an express order to ensure I would have it in time, even squeezing me in right before Christmas for a fitting. She encourages me to try styles I wouldn’t have considered and ensured I felt amazing in my dress in my final fitting. I couldn’t recommend Helen and her team highly enough.

Real Bride Edwina wearing custom Inbal Dror

I kept seeing so many beautiful Inbal Dror dresses on Instagram and when I saw that Helen Rodrigues was having an Inbal Dror Trunk Show I just knew I had to go. I hadn’t even tried on a single wedding dress at that point but as soon as I had my appointment at Helen’s I knew that one of the Inbal Dror dresses would be my wedding dress. I absolutely adored the finer details and delicate fabrics that Inbal uses and especially love the exquisite sparkle they exude.

Real Bride Jess wearing Inbal Dror

From the moment we set foot in Helen’s boutique, we felt completely relaxed and at ease. Helen and Sophie were professional, genuine and lots of fun - and really took the time to get to know me and my style. With their stunning selection of gowns lining the walls of the boutique and the myriad of designers on speed dial - it just shows they are the best in the business. In my first appointment, they pulled only 3 dresses off the rack - and one ended up being my dream dress! These women know what they’re doing - don’t waste time going anywhere else.

Real Bride Emily wearing Inbal Dror

Helen is truly the best in the business. Out of all my wedding suppliers, she was the one I trusted the most. She found me two amazing wedding dresses and styled them to perfection. Helen’s shop is warm and inviting and I will miss our conversations (my mum will too!). I would honestly recommend her to every bride I know!

Real Bride Georgie wearing Inbal Dror

It was effortless, fun and a truly beautiful and unforgettable experience. For the first visit I took a couple of my bridesmaids, my mother and my mother in law. It was such a fun appointment and my bridesmaids fell in love with my dress immediately! Then I took my mum and my bridesmaid who lived overseas to my fittings. It was so nice to go on that journey with them all.
