Real Bride Laura wearing Suzanne Neville Amber

I adored working with Helen and her team - she is very intuitive and really understood the vision I wanted for the day. She made me feel so comfortable and confident. She really helped to complete my look and was the one who suggested the Jennifer Behr headband (I can’t imagine my look without it). It was tricky being interstate with the Covid restrictions changing so often but Helen was so accommodating of me and her tailor was also so wonderful to work with. My experience with Helen Rodrigues Bridal was exceptional and I can’t imagine planning my wedding any other way.

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.

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!

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 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.

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!
