Bespoke with Helen Rodrigues Bridal
A specialty service we provide for our brides looking to customise our inhouse gowns to create their perfect bridal look if you love a particular fabric, would like to add a sleeve, would like to remove a sleeve, want to change a neckline or the dress length, our in-house stylists will work with you and our exclusive international designers to create the wedding dress of your dreams.
How does it work?
At your appointment, our in-house stylists will create the look and feel of your gown with our in-house samples and can show you the different alternatives for adding or removing sleeves, combining the top of one gown with the skirt of another, adding buttons or looking at alternate fabrics. We then send off your measurements and customisations to our designers in Israel, and the UK where they will lovingly handmake your gown, it is then delivered to our HRB boutique prior to your wedding where you will have 2-3 inhouse fittings with our talented tailor, so it fits absolutely perfectly.
Please note: customisation fees do apply, Elie Saab, Monique Lhuillier Bliss range and Inbal Dror Pure range do not offer bespoke service.
