Gowns & Garters

I bought my Essense of Australia wedding dress from Gowns & Garters for my wedding back in March. From my very first appointment with Saffron in April 2017 all the way through to my fittings with Julie in March this year, my experience was just wonderful! My appointments were private, not pressured and I tried on as many dresses as I liked! Their advice was valuable and they listened to my likes and dislikes until I found my perfect dress. The alterations are done in house which is a real bonus as Julie is used to working on the dresses which was a comfort to me. On my wedding day I felt incredible! I highly recommended G&G and only wish I could buy wedding dresses all the time! Thank you x

After having a rather bad experience with another bridal shop I went in to see Julie. I knew exactly which dress I wanted but just wanted. I went in to Gowns & Garters and Julie & Saffron were absolutely fantastic. I am so glad I was able to find this little gem of a store. My dress needed to have alterations done and they were carried out perfectly. Thank you once again for making the build up to my wedding feel special.

Gowns & Garters was the first shop I went to and, thanks to Saffron, I found my dress. It was completely different to what I thought I wanted but it was perfect.

Saffron and Julie really put me at ease as I was nervous looking for my dress. The whole experience with them was fantastic and I was always made to feel like I was special.

I highly recommend this wedding dress shop.

Although I didn't find 'the' dress here, I had a great experience. Loads of styles and dresses in inclusive sizes to try on in a nice big area. They were so insightful, really knew their stuff and were just so nice. Also had a good website that gave you a good idea of what they had!

Sadly just out to take your money. I'm left with a dress that will never be worn due to very sad exceptional circumstances, (bereavement) would not consider a refund of any sort even though the dress hadn't even left the store and could still be re sold. Dress was handed to me in a clear plastic bag knowing full well that to see the dress would cause a lot of emotional trauma.

I said yes to the dress!!!!
Hayley made me feel very comfortable and not pressured at all!
If you are searching for the dress book a appointment at Gowns & Garters

After trying on probably over 50 dresses at different shops, I booked an appointment with Gowns & Garters. From the start, they were super helpful in letting me know what dresses they had and what sizes, and when I attended, they were super patient as we found my dress. Julie was super flexible with arranging an appointment to meet again, and she was great with the alterations. They were done very quickly and my dress fit me like a glove. I was super happy with my dress on the day and felt absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend Gowns & Garters.

Julie and Saffron are so lovely and were fantastic throughout the whole process. Saffron was brilliant on the dress selection and I never would have found the one had she not convinced me to try on a dress that was not what I was looking for!

They really looked after me after the wedding was postponed due to Covid and were so positive and excited when it did come to the wedding day! They made everything seem so calm so put me at ease 😊
