I wholeheartedly recommend Louise to any future bride looking for the dress of her dreams. Working with Louise and Alison to create my dream wedding dress was an unforgettable experience. From the very first fitting, I knew I was in the hands of true artists. The level of detail in the dress was immaculate; it was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I felt like a princess on my special day, wearing a dress that was as light as it was comfortable. Louise was so lovely and patient throughout the entire process. I tried on multiple dresses elsewhere, including some from overseas. Nothing else came close to this dress; it fit me like a glove and felt perfectly made for me. I truly felt beautiful, and I am beyond grateful for Louise’s and Alison’s dedication and care. I'm incredibly lucky to have found Louise. She brought my vision to life in a way that exceeded every expectation. Thank you for making my wedding day as magical as it was. This dress made me so very happy.

Shuchi and the team at D’italia were incredible! I had tried quite a few dresses on prior to visiting D’italia and always walked away feeling disappointed! I had seen the ‘Scarlett’ gown from the moment I started looking at wedding dresses but wanted to try others on rather than going straight to the first dress I saw, as soon as I tried the Scarlett gown on I knew it was the one! The whole process was seamless and I couldn’t recommend the team at D’Italia high enough! Eva the dressmaker was a delight to work with also! My wedding day was complete because of my Scarlett gown and i have never received so many compliments in my life!! Thank you ladies so much xx

Irene and the team were amazing throughout the whole experience. Irene was our second stop for the day we put aside to go wedding dress shopping, and after 15 minutes in the store we cancelled all our next appointments. Irene has over 30 years experience and it showed in finding my perfect dress that suited me and my vision.

Amazing service! We had Poppy as my stylist, she was lovely and kind and helpful! She knew exactly what I was looking for and was just the most kindest and sweetest person! I can’t thank her enough for her patience as well as I am quite indecisive.

Brides of Sydney were so amazing! They were the most helpful shop we went to . They had such a wide range of styles and prices. Being from the other side of the country, they were very helpful and flexible with sorting out fittings and trails. They are all super lovely.

Alex @ brides of Beecroft was amazing in the entire process of selecting my wedding dress. The ladies went above and beyond to assist with my dress, alternation recommendations & accessories. Their gowns are beautiful and very reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong!

I had a deeply disappointing experience with Idora Bridal and cannot in good conscience recommend them to any future bride. From the beginning, I encountered dishonesty. I specifically asked if the pearls on the dress were real, and the store assistant confidently said yes. Both I and my bridesmaids heard this clearly. I wouldn’t have minded if they weren’t — but lying about something so minor immediately damaged my trust in them. The dress I received also did not match the sample gown I tried on. The bra cups were completely the wrong size for me, and although the dressmaker did try to adjust them, the internal seams clearly remained suited to a much larger size. The fit was awkward and unflattering. When I raised this, they tried to gaslight me by saying the cups only looked oversized because I’m a shorter bride — a baffling excuse that ignored the actual fit issue. They also claimed the cups were made “according to the pattern,” which is confusing, considering they promote themselves as a custom-made bridal company. If they can’t actually cater to different sizes and body types, they should say so from the start — not push the blame onto the bride after the fact. One of the most upsetting issues was with the detachable sleeves, which were a major reason I chose the gown. At my first fitting, the button clips required to attach the sleeves were missing. I pointed this out, and the dressmaker assured me they’d be added. When I collected the dress, I specifically asked whether the sleeves had been packed and properly prepared — they reassured me that everything was done. But on the day of my wedding, I discovered that the clips still hadn’t been added. In a rush, my bridesmaid had to sew them on by hand and use safety pins, costing us valuable photography time and making us late to the ceremony. The safety pins even risked damaging the dress. At no point did the company offer any recompense or solution — no apology, no offer to fix the dress, no acknowledgment of the stress and disruption it caused. When I emailed them afterward, they doubled down — falsely claiming that I told them I wouldn’t wear the sleeves and never tried them on. This is completely untrue. I clearly told them I would not wear the sleeves during the ceremony, but needed them for the photos. I tried them on during fittings and repeatedly reminded them to install the clips. For them to lie and suggest otherwise was not only dishonest, but incredibly frustrating and hurtful. For a business that claims to offer a premium, custom bridal experience, Idora Bridal delivered nothing but stress, excuses, and gaslighting. They were careless, unaccountable, and dishonest throughout the process. I truly regret trusting them with such an important part of my wedding.
