Super helpful! Lots of variety, and got to try on a range of dresses. 1.5hours was a perfect amount of time. My assistant was very caring and certainly knew her stuff but I didn't feel pressured in any direction. Loved that my team of girls felt part of the process also, they were encouraged to pick out dresses and feel the fabrics and give their opinions. Great fun.

My time at Wilkins Bridal was amazing - I felt so comfortable and in an environment I could express my likes and dislikes which lead me to finding the perfect dress! The girls were professional, helpful and kind all at once. They also had such a big range of dresses and I would highly recommend Wilkins Bridal to any future bride wanting to find the dress ??

I had such a great session at Wilkins! I tried on about 15 dresses and was able to make little changes like adding veils and sleeves as I wanted to. Very kind staff, great options and awesome pricing as well!

April was phenomenal. Wilkin's atmosphere is warm, inviting, and fun! This was my second experience trying on dresses and I was nervous to go back a second time. April was able to read how I was feeling in regards to style and design and honest about what she thought, allowing me to narrow down choices. I am excited to purchase a gown from Wilkins and continue to work with them up until my wedding. I would highly recommend Wilkins to all brides. Thank you for creating such a nice experience!

April was absolutely amazing and although I only had a sale appointment she went out of her way to show me as many dresses as possible in the time we had. She listened and gave feedback as well as asking questions about the wedding and how we met (a nice personal touch). As we were leaving town the next morning, April let me pop in and try a dress on again which I really appreciated. I'm happy to say I said yes to the dress! Overall it was a great experience and I was made to feel comfortable every step of the way. Cannot recommend April highly enough, she went above and beyond to make the experience so special. I can't wait to wear my beautiful dress ??

I had April look after me. I knew pretty much straight away after trying on the first dress that she was going to be able to find me a dress and make me feel beautiful. Was easy so many dresses I liked was hard to pick one but we got there. Very happy. I would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for having me in. It was such an enjoyable experience. It was extremely hot on the day. I appreciate being offered water if needed and having the fan on in the dressing room. Possibly some AC might be handy for days like that. But, still I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Thank you so much ??

My friend and I had a double appointment to try on dresses for the first time. April was an absolute delight, she wowed us with her choices for our dresses and encouraged us to try on lots of different styles, but listened to all of our likes and dislikes. I felt heard, and really encouraged to enjoy the process. I would recommend making an appointment to Wilkins to anyone who asks!

Trying on dresses here was so fun! They have a good range of dresses and April picked out some great dresses for me to try on. She also took heaps of photos and videos of the dresses which is very useful to look back on.

Had a lovely morning picking out my wedding dress. April did an amazing job at selecting dresses to suit my body shape. Was a massive confidence boost! To top off a brilliant experience, I found my dress!! Something I didn’t think would happen at my first appointment. So thank you April, you were fantastic!

Absolutely lovely staff, made me feel incredibly relaxed and valued. Went in with a clean slate no really knowing what I'd go for and what I'd suit and ending up narrowing it down to a couple of dresses ready for the big decision. Cannot recommend enough

Wilkins was my favourite bridal shop :) April was amazing! Right from the start, she had such a good vibe, lovely person, very knowledgeable and helpful! April definitely knew her stuff and she asked all the right questions. It was amazing how many plus size/curve dresses Wilkins had in store for me to try on. I have never seen so many dresses in my size. Great experience, thank you.

I had such an amazing experience with April today. She made me feel comfortable, nothing was a problem at all :) She picked out dresses for me i never would have chosen myself and I ended up loving them. She really knows how to pick the right dress for your body and I have come away with a tough decision to make because I loved several of the dresses

Honestly Jenny was amazing. Being a bigger girl I was nervous i wouldn’t find anything that would fit. But she made me feel so comfortable and with ease picked out sizes that did fit. Even a few that were to big. I found a dress that I am I love with.
Beth from Byron st chch

We had the best time with Jenny. She listened to everything my bridal team and I described, feedback on dresses and was super supportive. Not only giving great options to adjust dresses but also using her experience to give the best recommendations (evening finding THE dress!) Would highly recommend!

I absolutely loved my appointment with April at Wilkins! April is such an expert was very welcoming immediately. The dresses here are all incredibly beautiful. April made sure I was comfortable and she showed a lot of care and expertise. I fall in love with multiple dresses, but managed to narrow it down to two (with April's help!). I really loved the entire experience - I highly recommend Wilkins Bridal.
