Real Bride Kate wearing Monique Lhuillier Maeve
Helen and her team were amazing to work with, everything went seamlessly and I had the most beautiful dress that I will forever love.
Real Bride Emma wearing Elie Saab
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.

The experience with Helen is second to none. She remembers every detail and really ensures you feel your best. Helen has a beautiful calming nature which makes you feel really comfortable in her space and the focus is always on the bride and how she feels. Not to mention, her selection of gowns is exquisite and there really is something for everyone. I am so happy I got my dress from Helen, she made the process super easy, the seamstresses and team were amazing and really I just trusted her.
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 Alexis wearing Elie Saab
From the first appointment to the final fitting, everything was seamlessly timed, and I felt so at ease, which meant a lot to me being an interstate bride. Helen Rodrigues and her team provided such a warm, genuine and personalised service. I would highly recommend Helen Rodrigues to any bride in search for a breathtakingly timeless gown and an exceptional experience.
Real Bride Clementine wearing Lee Grebenau Taylor
Finding my dress at Helen Rodrigues Bridal was such a great experience; from the moment I stepped foot inside the boutique, the team was always so helpful and attentive. The Helen Rodrigues team really excelled in creating the perfect atmosphere for an excited bride to be.
Real Bride Sophie wearing Suzanne Neville
Helen is the ultimate professional. I relied on her advice and guidance for my choice of gowns and accessories. She provides the full bridal service and experience, and I could not recommend Helen more highly.
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 Annabelle wearing Inbal Dror
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.
Real Bride Hannah wearing Elie Saab
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!!!
Elisa Loved Her Timeless Inbal Dror Gown
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!
Complete Your Bridal Look With Beautiful Accessories
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.
Real Bride Remi wearing Monique Lhuillier Bliss
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.
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!
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.
