Helen made every fitting feel special. She always gave her full attention and never made you feel rushed for time. She is a woman of great taste and has a good eye when it comes to accessories and dress alterations.

Choosing to buy my gown from Helen Rodrigues Bridal was such a blessing… I knew I wanted to wear Elie Saab which is really hard to find in Australia, but through Helen it was so easy and enjoyable. They took so much care of every detail and I felt so looked after in the best way possible!!!

I had a clear winner before entering the boutique. I loved how it had a timeless feminine shape, yet it was edgy and a statement. The three-piece gave me flexibility, allowed me to party long into the night and showed off my emerald green shoes!

With so much emphasis placed upon the selection of the wedding gown, the finishing touches can often be left until the last minute. Sometimes a hasty decision can ruin an otherwise well thought out and beautifully put together ensemble.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at Helen Rodrigues Bridal . Helen was my first and only bridal appointment. I knew I would find my perfect gown from her flawless selection of designers. I absolutely adore my Monique Lhuillier gown - and it was tailored to perfection with help from the talented team at Helen Rodrigues Bridal.

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!

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.
