Novie in a stunning Elie Saab Bridal gown

I wanted to thank you again for helping me find the most perfect dress. I felt so confident and fabulous, and I’ll cherish the experience of finding this dress forever.

 

Isabella wearing Monique Lhuillier

“I couldn’t have asked for a better bridal experience with Nicole and Helen from Helen Rodrigues; as an interstate bride, they made the process so easy and enjoyable. I did not visit another wedding dress shop or designer because I was so happy with my initial consultation with Nicole. The alteration process was seamless, and they allowed me to get all fittings done in one visit from Melbourne, making it stress-free – all within a short 7-month period.”

 

Nicole wearing Elie Saab

“I loved my experience with HRB from start to finish. Helen is so warm and honest, and she understood what I wanted in terms of look and feel. I trusted her throughout the process wholeheartedly. Even despite me living overseas, she was so accommodating in scheduling appointments and fittings to work with my short visits to Sydney. She really was there for it all - even putting my dress in the boot of the car when I went to collect it that final day!

Honestly, I might need to talk to my husband into having some sort of anniversary party just so I can relive my HRB process. I’ve been looking at the latest range of dresses Helen’s bringing in – and the new season pieces are making me fall in love all over again!”

 

Chloe wearing Monique Lhuillier

“Helen is the ultimate specialist in bridal. Not only does she have an incomparable eye to bring to the table the most beautiful bridal offerings from around the world, but she has a well-honed perspective on what a bride needs to make the all-important dress decision. She is calming, tailored in her approach, effortlessly helpful and anticipates your needs. Her and the team are passionate about you finding your dress, offer impeccable guidance and service. Finding my dress and being on the journey from start to finish with Helen was one of the greatest joys of the wedding process. They made me feel like a bride, amongst the hecticness of planning and preparation.”

 

Danielle wearing Lee Grebenau

“My experience with Helen Rodrigues Bridal exceeded my expectations in every single way. From the minute I stepped into the stunning boutique, I was made to feel completely comfortable due to the warm and friendly nature of the team. To be completely honest I had been dreading the wedding dress process as I don’t enjoy shopping or trying on clothes at the best of times. I also had no idea what type of dress I envisioned myself wearing at my wedding.

The team at Helen Rodrigues went above and beyond to help me select the perfect gown. I typically gravitate to plainer styles but I trusted them to select what they thought would work best for me. The third dress I tried on was the sparkly, embellished, Lee Grebenau ‘Sansa’ gown. Immediately I felt like a princess and knew this was the one.

From there, the process was seamless. I absolutely loved all of my dress fittings – going in to see Helen was like catching up with a friend. We would chat about everything and you genuinely know that she cares about you. Even the lovely alterations lady was so incredibly warm and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.”

 

Ally wearing bespoke Inbal Dror

“Helen really is excellent at what she does! From the initial meeting to everything that followed Helen was a delight. She made me feel at ease and shared her wealth of knowledge with me. I could not recommend her enough!”

 

Hannah wearing Monique Lhuillier

“Helen, Sophie and whole the team are true professionals. Not only does Helen stock the most incredible gowns, but the attention to detail she showed throughout the entire experience was second to none. Helen took the time to really understand my vision for the day and matched me up with incredible accessories to pull the look together. From my initial enquiry through to styling, alterations and the delivery of the dress, the team were so helpful and truly made the process stress-free (and fun)! Thank you to Helen and the team for providing me with such an amazing experience. I can't recommend Helen Rodrigues Bridal more highly!”

 

Chelsie wearing Inbal Dror

“I’ll never forget my experience with Helen and the team! They made my journey so special, were always so understanding and helpful! My appointments were always filled with so much laughter and fun, and my family and I really felt super comfortable from the first day we walked in! I loved every minute of it!”

 

Katie wearing Monique Lhuillier

“My whole experience with Helen was a dream from start to finish! Coming into the boutique was beyond special, and I was absolutely over the moon when I found my beautiful gown. Helen, Sophie and the team are just incredible, and their expertise is second to none. I can’t thank them enough for being so helpful, accommodating and kind, whilst always making me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Thank you Helen from the bottom of my heart!”

 

Jess wearing custom Inbal Dror

“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 breeze as it was in her trusty hands.

Words will not do justice trying to explain how magical it was when I first saw the dress in it's final product.... it was absolute perfection. I felt supported, confident and happy which is exactly how I was hoping to feel for my special day. I will never forget my times at the shop with Helen, my sisters and my Mum.
Helen and her team are so dedicated and talented at what they do. I am lucky to have been looked after by them. Due to covid we had reschedule our date and overall were almost 24 months from engagement to rescheduled wedding date. Lots of uncertainty came from that. With retail having to close and my own health issues I was worried at times when I would be able to see the dress and whether it would fit again... however Helen was so supportive throughout all this and would make sure anything is possible.

Thank you so much for making my dreams come true. I felt like a true princess! xxxxx”

 

Krystle wearing Monique Lhuillier “Willow”

“Helen and her team were an absolute dream to work with! Not only does she carry the most stunning dresses, which includes a wide range to cater to different vibes, but the entire customer experience, including the fittings process, was perfect! Helen knows the best way to tweak the fit of the dress here and there to give you exactly what you’re after while also staying true to the design of the dress!”

 

Francesca wearing Suzanne Neville “Penny”

“Working with Helen & her team was an absolute dream. Before entering Helen Rodrigues I had tried on a plethora of gowns and nothing was quite right. As soon as I entered Helens store, I immediately knew my gown would be in there. The process was exactly what I was hoping for in finding a dress - consultative, enjoyable, not stressful. Throughout the whole process, I felt as though every person in Helen Rodrigues truly cared about my experience and my wedding day, and I am so grateful.”

 

Sophia wearing Lee Grebenau

“I could not speak higher for Helen and Nicole at Helen Rodrigues Bridal. They were incredible and patient when helping me choose my dream gown. All the gowns are of exceptional quality and are absolutely stunning. I was able to take my time in the initial appointments to ensure I was certain with all my decision. Every appointment was easy and stress free. Helen made every interaction so personal, and it was very clear that she wants every one of her brides to have the ultimate bridal experience and feel their very best on their wedding day. I couldn’t imagine going through this process without Helen and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

 

Elliana wearing bespoke Suzanne Neville

“When I got engaged, there was no question about where I would get my dress from. I was always going to be a Helen Rodrigues bride as they really do have such an exquisite selection of gowns. Helen and the girls were so supportive and lovely from the first moment we stepped into the boutique. They had answers to questions I hadn’t even thought of yet and had a big influence in not only helping me find my dream dress, but from styling me head to toe! We ended up mixing 3 different Suzanne Neville gowns together to create my dress and the team at Helen did not hesitate to make this happen. It truly was such a memorable experience that I will cherish forever! “

 

Cayli wearing Lee Petra Grebenau “Sophie”

“My experience buying my Lee Petra Grebenau wedding dress from Helen was absolutely seamless from start to finish. The moment my mum and I stepped foot in the door, we instantly felt so comfortable and at ease with Helen. I fell in love with the "Sophie gown" instantly and knew that this was my dress - it was SO me.

It was such a pleasure to work with Helen and I absolutely trusted her every step of the process. Not only did she help my find my gown, but my magnificent veil and earrings too. Thank you, Helen and her team, for the most wonderful experience and service.”

 

Ewa wearing Monique Lhuillier “Serena”

“Helen and her team are absolute pros that provide the most personalised service. Helen was like my fairy Godmother that helped me transform into a princess for a day.  I had complete trust in Helen and always felt like she was being honest and gave me the best advice. No dress will ever top this one and I’ve never received so many compliments. I thought about shortening the dress and perhaps wearing it again but I can’t imagine altering it in any way and will probably hold onto it for my daughter. “

 

Emma wearing Suzanne Neville “Romance”

“Helen and the team are fantastic! From the very start I was made to feel very comfortable and not pressured at all. The experience at the beautiful boutique is really wonderful and very considered. The quality of the gowns are second-to-none and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend visiting here for any brides-to-be. You will not regret it.
Thank you Helen and her team xx”

 

Bianca wearing Monique Lhuillier

“The service and quality from Helen and her staff, particularly Sophie was probably the best part about my entire wedding planning. From the very first consult both Helen and Sophie felt like old friends or extended bridesmaids. So personable and supportive and genuinely amazing people. The entire process was made so incredibly easy and reassuring. The quality of the dress itself was absolutely impeccable. So much love for Helen and her team. Not only so professional but fun.”

 

Josephine wearing Elie Saab

“Helen Rodrigues doesn’t only stock the most exceptional bridal designers available in Australia, she also offers an unparalleled experience while remaining real and down to earth. Helen and Sophie were considered and calm (and a bit of fun too!) during my dress selection, trying and fitting process. With my Mum unable to visit and see the dress in person due to the border closures at the time, it was special to have such a warm connection with Helen. With decades of experience, Helen gave me so much confidence with her authenticity and thoughtfulness throughout the process. I loved my dress and it fit perfectly.”

 

Grace wearing Monique Lhuillier

“My experience with Helen and her amazing team was perfect. From start to finish I felt special, beautiful and the warm atmosphere made the lead up to the day seriously exciting. Communication was fantastic, I was always welcomed with a smile and the dress fit me like a glove.”

 

Leith wearing Lee Petra Grebenau

“Helen, Nicole and Sophie made my wedding dress experience absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in for our first appointment, to the regular check-ins, reminders to bring my wedding shoes (I definitely needed these haha) and finally taking my dress home, the whole team was professional, warm and welcoming. The dresses they stock are truly magical, but the standout to me was how the team listens to your wants suggests ideas that they think will work and really gets excited and involved in the emotions leading up to your big day. I could not recommend working with Helen and her team highly enough, they are definitely the best in the business, but more than that they are kind and genuine people. If you are shopping around for wedding dresses definitely put Helen Rodrigues on the list. You won’t be disappointed”

 

Prasanthi wearing Inbal Dror

“If you're a bride to be unsure where to start on your dress hunt, look no further than Helen Rodrigues Bridal. Both Helen & Sophie made the dress journey seamless & fun.

The experience from the moment you email, across to stepping in store is of the highest professionalism. Helen & Sophie greet you with a sincere & friendly demeanour, without pretence, and bring a genuine attention to detail to create the bespoke service you hope for. There is no chaos in this store, no sales pressure, just beautiful unique gowns from all over the world that you can try on alone sans distractions. Beautiful veils & accessories are also available to compliment your look in a one stop shop.

Helen and Sophie ended up feeling more like friends whom I thoroughly enjoyed seeing at fittings. I valued their honesty, authenticity and proactive nature in the uncertainty of COVID. And not to forget their gorgeous in house seamstress Glynis who so carefully & meticulously altered my dress so it fit like a glove!

I would recommend HR Bridal to all my friends and family! Thank you for such a lovely experience from start to finish.”

 

Clare wearing Inbal Dror

“From the very first appointment, Helen and her team did everything to make finding a wedding dress absolutely magical and everything I could have hoped for. I got engaged in the middle of the pandemic and my mum and family was not able to travel and attend the appointment in person with me. Even though I was by myself, Helen and her team went out of their way to make it feel so special and to make me feel comfortable. I have such great memories of trying on the different dresses and of finding the dress that I LOVED. I'm also really grateful for Helen's efforts to help make my mum feel included!

This is such a special team and the dresses are just magic, not worth going anywhere else.”

 

Celeste wearing Monique Lhuillier

“I could not recommend Helen Rodrigues Bridal enough! Helen made my dream dress happen and was so attentive and responsive throughout the whole process (which included having my dress sent over to me during WA’s border closures and NSW lockdowns). I felt at ease working with Helen and knew I was in a safe pair of hands.”

 

Kirby wearing Inbal Dror

“HR was the first boutique I went to, and I bought my dress without seeing any other designers or boutiques. Helen was amazing - she made me feel completely comfortable and excited about the process, making it fun and enjoyable despite being in the middle of a pandemic. She was a calm support through 4 venue changes and 5 date changes, holding on my to dress for me in Sydney and coming in on her day off so I could fly up from Melbourne and complete my final fittings just in time for the big day. I couldn’t be more thankful and would recommend Helen and her team to any and every bride. Thank you so much Helen x”

 

Kirstin wearing a “Bespoke” Suzanne Neville

“I truly feel that everyone should have the Helen Rodrigues Bridal experience at least once in their life. I made an appointment with Helen for two reasons; because I knew I would have the entire salon to myself and my entourage during my appointment and, of course, because Helen stocks the very best dresses from all over the world. Walking into Helen’s salon with my mum, aunts and grandma was such a luxury, I didn’t even want to look anywhere else. Helen and her team are literally experts in the field and they were so welcoming. My family still talk about how lovely the experience was for them well after the wedding was over. I ended up choosing a bespoke Suzanne Neville dress. Having the option to customise my dress was really special. I completely trusted Helen’s advice throughout the whole process and I am so glad that I did. Thank you much Helen and your wonderful team.”

 

Katerina wearing Monique Lhuillier

“Helen and the team at Helen Rodrigues Bridal are absolutely incredible! I highly recommend for all brides to come here, it's the best experience you could ask for and more. There are a wide range of designers and gowns available - Helen and the team are so professional, helpful and come with a world of knowledge to help you find your perfect dress. I honestly loved coming to the store for every appointment/fitting, it was so much fun!

It was truly a wonderful experience and I feel so honoured to have found my dream dress from here.

Thank you Helen and the team at Helen Rodrigues Bridal!”

“Helen and Sophie are beyond wonderful. I have long dreamed of coming to this store and when I finally made it, the team did not disappoint. They have a reputation for a reason… (the best selection of bridal gowns in the country) however what I was not expecting was how kind, attentive and generous they would be with their time. Sending so much love to the Helen Rodrigues team.”

“From the moment I met Helen I felt as though we were old friends, the warmth, care and attention to detail she showed throughout my entire experience with her was second to none! She took the time to really understand my vision for the day and how I wanted to feel before we started trying on pieces from her incredible range and of course we managed to find the perfect dress. Due to covid I needed to postpone my wedding twice and Helen did absolutely everything to be as accomodating as possible and make such a stressful time feel like a breeze. I will always be grateful for the Helen Rodrigues team as they really did make my wedding dress dream come true!”

“I could not have been more delighted with my experience with Helen, Sophie and the wonderful team at HR Bridal. From the outset, Helen welcomed me with warmth, humour and a real understanding of the details which matter most when it comes to choosing a gown and accessories. I felt entirely able to put my trust in Helen and the end result was even more as special than I had hoped.

It goes without saying that Helen’s selection of designers, gowns and accessories is unmatched, but it is her knowledge and warmth which are truly priceless. Thank you, Helen, for helping to make our day so magical!”

I would 100% recommend Helen to anyone looking for their fairy tale dress.”

She is truly the best in the business and I’d recommend her wholeheartedly.”

There is a beautifully curated selection of gowns on offer, and Helen and her team are true professionals, whose attention to detail, warmth and expertise was evident from my initial inquiries through to delivery and alterations. Helen was always accomodating with appointment times and made the process stress-free - she took the time to ensure my dress fit to perfection and I truly felt wonderful on my wedding day.”

I am so thankful I was able to have this experience as part of our wedding. I will treasure the memories always.”

Emma wearing ‘Noelle’ by Lee Grebenau

“I had the most fantastic experience with Helen Rodrigues Bridal. From my first telephone call with the boutique, all of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Helen very kindly made some time for me in the midst of a trunk show because I was travelling from interstate and had limited time available. As soon as I met Helen I felt at ease. I told Helen what I had envisioned for my dress, and she collected together a range of dresses for me to try on. As I tried on the different gowns, Helen always provided honest feedback, and was so patient in helping me in and out of these delicate dresses. Helen was incredibly perceptive at choosing the perfect gown for me, one that I would never have considered had been for her suggesting that I try it on. I am so fussy about what I like and don’t like, and Helen seemed to understand my taste from very early on in my appointment. I would unreservedly recommend Helen and her team to any bride looking for a beautiful wedding gown and incredible personalised service.”

Her eye for detail was incredible and she knew exactly what I wanted even when I thought I was unsure. She really knew how to make a bride feel special! I couldn’t recommend her enough! Her selection of dresses do not compare, truly breathtaking (not to mention she is able to modify dresses impeccably!)”

“Working with Helen was a dream in the lead up to my wedding. She suggested the dress to me, and I’m so happy I listened to her as otherwise I would never have found my perfect bridal gown. From selecting the dress and being on hand for fittings around my schedule, to picking my dress up the day before the wedding and giving me so much trusted advice on all elements of my big day, Helen became a close confidante during my bridal journey and she’s an amazing support to women planning their wedding.”

“Helen and her team were so wonderful to work with and the entire process was seamless. Helen is so meticulous and has such an eye for the smallest detail and is invested in every part of your dress and your day. From my very first conversation on the phone to the day I picked up both my dresses Helen and her team could not do enough for me or be more accommodating. My Mum and I looked forward to every visit and Helen became more like a friend. Thank you so much Helen for making this experience so special!”

“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.”

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.

“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!”

“I was really happy with my experience at Helen Rodrigues Bridal. Helen was personable and down-to-earth, so it was great work with 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!”

Her knowledge and expertise in the industry is impeccable. She gives you honest advice which I loved. Her attention to detail made me feel so special and to receive a beautiful card from her in the mail days before my wedding was a very thoughtful touch. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

“Choosing a wedding gown is such an important part of the bridal experience. I had been to two other places before Helen Rodrigues and was feeling fairly delated and anonymous. From the first appointment, I was struck by the team’s professionalism, attention to detail and warmth. Helen and her team were so attentive and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect gown. I felt so beautiful and special in our appointment. My experience with Helen and her team is one I will remember for a long time.”

“I had an amazing experience purchasing my dress from Helen. Before making my dress appointments, many people had referred me to Helen for her incredible selection of designers and gowns. I had no idea what style I was looking for. On my first appointment, I walked in and immediately saw my dress. It was the first dress I tried on and I fell in love with it instantly! The entire process was so smooth, Helen and her team took care of everything and it was the only thing we did not have to worry about! We made some slight alterations and Helen was extremely helpful and understood exactly what I wanted for my end result. My Mum and I looked forward to every appointment because it was so fun! I also bought my veil and headpiece from Helen. She has an amazing selection of accessories too. Thank you Helen for helping make it all such a seamless and stress-free experience!”

“From the first contact with Helen and her team, I felt excited, calm and comfortable. Her dresses are like no other. I found my Emma gown after it was suggested to me by a member of the team and it was not something I would usually go for but I trusted the team straight away and it was absolutely breathtaking. Fit like a globe and I felt beautiful in it!

The whole process was smooth and I felt supported 100% with all of my decisions, particularly when requesting adjustments to the dress. When I encountered some challenges finding the right shoe, the girls were on the phone and on email with me helping me and search the net to find a suitable shoe. Helen, you and your team are incredible at what you do and we could not recommend you highly enough.”

“I had the most beautiful wedding experience while purchasing my wedding dress from Helen Rodrigues boutique. From my initial consultation to the last appointment, Helen made the experience so calming and exciting for myself and my family. She treated us more like family then clients and I was so happy, I was purchasing my dress through her store. I will be recommending her store to my family and firends so they can share the same experience I did.”

“There’s a reason why Helen and her team are the most reputable bridal store nationally. Not only does she stock reputable international couture brands, Helen was professional, honest and welcoming. As an interstate bride and a teacher, Helen knew I was limited in my travel dates and ensured there were minimal flights for me. She worked closely with her trusted seamstress for my alterations which were managed to be completed in two days. Helen was open with her communication and gave me realistic advice to both myself and Mum. It was a pleasure working with you, thank you so much! My Inbal Dror gown was a dream come true!”

“I had the BEST experience with Helen and her team. The service I received from start to finish was seamless. Helen helped me find two dream wedding gowns in my first appointment from Israeli designer Inbal Dror. Helen styled them to perfection with Keren Wolf accessories. She is a true bridal expert! Helen’s boutique is warm and inviting with the most exquisite selection of designer gowns in Australia. I highly recommended HR Bridal.”

“My experience with Helen and her team was nothing short of a dream. HR Bridal houses the most incredible selection of luxury, international designers and the level of service provided by Helen and her team is equally as premium. I cannot fault my experience from the gown selection phase, multiple dress fittings right through to the aftercare she provided me post-wedding. Helen is so warm and genuine and I cannot recommend her and her team more highly.”

Always happy to help - from my shoes to my undergarments, no question was too much. Helen went above and beyond and treated me as I were her only customer throughout the entire experience. Not to mention, the best selection of high end gowns in Australia!”

“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 myraid 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 your time going anywhere else.”

“Helen, from day one, was amazing and nothing but professional. Not only did I find my dream wedding gown, but I also have memories that I will treasure forever of fittings with my Mum and Helen. It is such a special time in a woman’s life and the experience itself was everything I had hoped for. I have since referred my sister and a close friend to Helen who have both purchased their gowns at Helen Rodrigues Bridal.”

“I quite honestly always thought I would get my wedding dress custom made, until I found Helen Rodrigues Bridal. From my first enquiry to dress delivery, the service I received was truly exceptional. Helen Rodrigues Bridal offers a vast variety of gowns, made to the highest quality and kept in immaculate condition; so when you go in for your appointments you really do feel so special. Unlike many bridal boutiques you have the benefit of being able to try on your gowns, but then being measured for it to be custom made to fit you perfectly. It really was such a special experience and I couldn’t recommend Helen and her team more highly.”

“I was so lucky to purchase my gown from such a caring and beautiful team. Helen made the entire process so easy and seamless. My dress was a rush order as I found it less than 3 months before the wedding and I never had any doubt in my mind during the process as Helen was always on top of it. Helen and her team can make anything happen!”

My dress was so perfect for my big day I’m so happy.”
