HOW - Finding a designer wedding dress with a short timeline

Photo 14-4-21, 11 20 45.jpg

Here at Helen Rodrigues Bridal our goal is always to assist brides with finding their dream gowns, but with our designer’s hand making the gowns overseas we normally require 6- 12 months of production time. Some of our incredible designers in the US, UK and Israel are able to turn around a gown with a short lead time of 2-3 months but it would depend on budget allowance as there is a rush order fee.

The other appealing option is buying a sample gown off the rack. Sample gowns are a perfect option for brides who are getting married with a short planning time, brides who wish to purchase a second dress or brides just wanting to secure an incredible wedding gown at an incredible price. Our upcoming Autumn Sample Sale on Saturday the 8th of May is the perfect time to find your dream designer gown off the rack and be able to take it with you on the day.

The Autumn Sample Sale will include a stunning array of sample gowns by our trusted designers from their latest and previous collections including Monique Lhuillier, Inbal Dror, Lee Grebenau and Suzanne Neville. When you buy one of our sample gowns there is no production time so you can have the peace of mind that you can fall in love with your gown and take it home with you that day.

All gowns in the Autumn Sample Sale are at least 30% off the retail price, with Suzanne Neville and Monique Lhuillier gowns start from $5,000 and Inbal Dror and Lee Grebenau gowns starting from $10,000.

Each gown in the Autumn Sample Sale has been carefully examined to ensure they are in excellent condition. Every piece is unique, and has either been used as a sample in the boutique, or worn in a photoshoot. All our sample gowns can be altered to fit perfectly so you don’t have to compromise on quality or design.

Please note: there is only one sample of each design available for purchase, first in best dressed. All gowns have to be paid in full on the day of the sale and all sample gowns are between size AU10-12.

End of Financial Year Sale

22 & 23 June 2017

Exciting news for all brides in Sydney and beyond! Helen Rodrigues is having its first ever End Of Financial Year clearance sale on Thursday 22nd June and Friday 23rd June 2017, where dozens of international designer sample dresses will be sold at a fraction of the original cost.

Almost too good to be true; luxury sample gowns from the likes of Oscar De La Renta, Jenny Packham, Inbal Dror, Sabrina Dahan, Zuhair Murad, Alon Livne, Monique Lhuillier and many more international designers, will be available at the sale which is expected to see a huge response from brides seizing this rare opportunity.

An increasingly popular trend, purchasing a sample wedding gown is not just for those looking to spend less on their dress. They’re a great idea if you’re getting married quickly or overseas and don’t have the time to invest in multiple fittings, because you can still have a stunning designer bridal gown straight off the rack (and at a great discount as well). 

Sample dresses are also perfect for those wanting a second gown to change into on the big day, or for brides who may have overspent their wedding budget in other areas too. Weddings aside, some women also just love the opportunity to get an incredible designer dress for a special occasion at an amazing price.

What is a sample gown?
They are wedding gowns that are either samples, ex floor stock or are now discontinued. Most have been tried on or have been used in photo-shoots or shows. Many of the gowns are in wonderful condition (particularly if it was only discontinued), while others may need a little bit more love e.g. a bead could be missing or a dry-clean required, but nothing that can’t be fixed. The End Of Financial Year sale will take place at our sister store, Sincerely. Located just a few doors down from the original Helen Rodrigues boutique, Sincerely is an extension of the brand into affordable luxury, with the added benefit of experienced and personalised service.
