Nicole Wore Elie Saab and Suzanne Neville For Her South African Wedding

The process of getting a dress made from scratch wasn’t for me. I’ve always been a lover of high fashion, even working as a personal shopper and stylist when I lived in London; and I always wanted my dress to be the creation of an esteemed designer. Before I even had a boyfriend, I knew I would find my eventual wedding dress at HRB. Helen has the most incredible and most thoughtfully curated selection of top end gowns – it was a no brainer.

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.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at Helen Rodrigues.

I had my eye on this specific gown from Elie Saab for a while however wanted to try on a few different styles to make sure I had picked the right one. Having multiple world-renowned bridal designers and various styles in the store allowed me to try on an array of dresses to help me make up my mind. The moment I saw myself in this dress I knew it was the one.

Both Helen and Sophie treat you like you are part of their family. From the first appointment walking into the shop, it felt like I was walking into home. You are at ease, you don’t feel overwhelmed, you don’t feel rushed to make any decisions and you automatically trust their expertise and knowledge. I think what sets Helen apart is, she genuinely is on this personal experience with you the entire way. She gets to know her brides, she makes every appointment so memorable and personal, you just want to stay in the shop for longer to chat!

Helen was ideal. Both her and Sophie made me feel so comfortable and relaxed my nerves at my appointments. Without her intensive knowledge of the bridal industry I would never have found my perfect dress… and we all know that the most vital item for the bride on her wedding day is her dress! Thank you Helen and Sophie for your professionalism and kindness during my time at Helen Rodrigues Bridal.

Real Bride Vin wearing Serrano by Suzanne Neville with detachable bow

Even before my appointment at HRB, I knew my experience here would be different. Helen took the time to call me before my appointment to get a sense of me and my personality. I really appreciated this because my appointment time was used really effectively. She was very accommodating of having my 3 bridesmaids and both parents in the boutique (quite a boisterous crowd!) and was professional, gorgeous and incredibly organised.
