I loved my appointment at Wilkins bridal. April made my friends and I feel so comfortable and welcomed, despite me having no idea what type of dress I wanted to wear, she knows what looks good and chose so many beautiful dresses. I highly recommend Wilkins bridal for your dress shopping!

Thank you for a great experience. I was a bit nervous going wedding dress shopping as a plus sized girl, but you made it really easy and inclusive and had really great knowledge about what would look good and not so good. Thank you very much 😊

Out of all the wedding dress places I visited when shopping for my dress, Wilkins was my favourite experience! April is incredible at what she does and somehow knows exactly what you need in the moment. They have a huge range of styles and sizes. I'm a plus size bride and I loved being able to actually try on the dresses because they carry more than just a size 12. 100000/10 recommend!

So helpful, accomodating, and lovely. The process was well explained, and all questions answered. Shailo was so patient and kind, and catered to all of my (and my entourages) wishes and whims!!

5 out of 5. Honestly, going there was an amazing experience, April made it so comfortable and easy! Walked in not really knowing what I was after… and came out with a fabulous dress. Would highly recommend to all who’s looking not just for amazing dresses but a stress free experience too!

I was so happy with how the whole morning went I felt comfortable and supported throughout the whole experience and listened too as well when i didn’t like something I wasn’t judged or made to reconsider, it was what it was . So happy for the support in regards to family drama too and looking forward to the next appointment

Wilkins Bridal was the 3rd dress shop in Christchurch I went to and was by far the most helpful! Shailo was so patient, it was the only place I didn’t feel rushed and nothing was a bother.

April, what a pleasure it was to have you help me find the wedding dress I loved. Your knowledge and expertise were exceptional. You made me feel like a princess! Thank you!

We are so grateful we went and saw April! The range of dresses was beautiful, well made and reasonably priced. April was an expert in body types, her stock, and pulled great dresses. She made it a positive, fun, and efficient experience. To be honest we went to another bridal shop after and it was a disaster - so we were extra grateful for the experience at Wilkins.

Amazing experience, very calm and patient. I felt very welcome and well looked after

April was amazing!! She made us comfortable straight away and picked out a beautiful range of dresses to try in all sorts of shapes. She was super thorough and really helped me to nail down the style that suited my body and what I was looking for. 11/10 recommend this store, beautiful range of dresses and April's knowledge and enthusiasm is second to none

I was really nervous and unsure what I was going to look like in a bridal dresses before getting to the store as I never show my arms or upper body much but as soon as April started working her magic I felt so at ease as she knew what looked good and what wouldn’t. I found a dress I love (although I loved nearly all of them) which surprisingly showed my shoulders and nearly all of my arms, and it’s perfect. The whole experience has made me feel so confident that I will look good on my wedding day. Thank you April!

Amazing and beautiful, lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. Was a wonderful first bridal dress shopping experience. They really know what dress works for each body type, even mine. Also they have really good prices!

Had a lovely experience at my first bridal consult. April was fantastic, such a great knowledge of gowns and which ones suit what body types. She made me feel so at ease throughout the whole process. Such a positive experience, definitely would recommend!

My bridal experience with Wilkins Bridal was amazing!!! April was so lovely and helpful throughout the process and the gown selection was excellent! Every single dress I tried on was so beautiful. Thank you so much April for helping me find my dream wedding gown and made it one of the best experiences of my life. I’m so happy to be able to say yes to the dress on the spot! ❤️

Contacted a month after a consult to confirm my dress selection. They remembered me and got back to me quickly. Very professional with all the right questions and options to get it couriered to me. So happy and grateful

Out of all the bridal dress shops I went to, Wilkins Bridal is by far the best! Great variety, affordable and high-quality dresses, and all-round incredible service. April and her team are fabulous - they even picked out for me the dress that I said "yes" to. Would highly recommend!

I first came to Wilkins several months ago, at the recommendation of a friend. (She bought her dress many many years ago). I went with my best mate, for a double appointment. I wasn't sure about what styles of dress would work for me, so April did the most FANTASTIC job of putting me in loads of different styles to figure out what I liked and didn't like. Meanwhile, my best mate found her dress and I got to witness her "Say Yes to the Dress". Unbeknownst to me I also found my dress, but I played it safe, and walked away ready to keep looking while I continued planning what our wedding would look like. Several months later, after visiting other bridal stores (and having some horrific experiences) and trying on more gowns, I knew I needed to go back to Wilkins and get the dress I loved on that first day. Having been to other boutiques and trying on other gowns, I just wanted to say that absolutely no where else beats Wilkins. I will not be recommending ANY OTHER location to anyone else I know. Yes they have a fabulous selection of gowns, but the absolute joy, honesty, and professionalism from the consultants (especially April), is unparalleled. April has so much experience and I genuinely loved her candidness when it came to certain dresses. She knew my dress was "the one" before I did. Thank you, for everything, I have one of the big things ticked off now!

Beautiful and so nice dress. April was really helpful and she did the best for me.

It was amazing they were so helpful and I got the opportunity to try on dresses I didn’t think I would even like that I fell in love with. The staff were amazing

April made my first dress trying on experience fun and seamless. She is adept at choosing the right dress for any body shape. Her 20+ years of experience shines through! Thank you we had a ball

April was fabulous! She knew her 'craft'. She picked out a splendid array of dresses - all gorgeous. This opened my eyes to the possibilities I had 'discounted'. The experience was 100% posiitve for us. A most helpful exercise. Thank you.

Absolutely loved the whole experience. April was super helpful and made sure I tried every possible style before I made my decision. Huge range of dresses to choose from. April understood my body shape and made me feel really confident and pretty in my dress.

Absolutely loved it here. The lady who helped us was incredible. Super helpful, so knowledgeable of her stock and what she thinks matches your body type and style. I felt so comfortable and loved all the support

That was so much fun! Thankyou so much for being so honest and fun. We have all had the absolute best time❤️

April was great, she knew what would suit my body shape, was encouraging but not pushy, and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable!

Shiloh was wonderful, very sweet, efficient and super accommodating. It was a wonderful experience for all of us and I found my perfect dress!!!

I said YES to the dress!!! And I couldn't have done it without the amazing April helping and guiding me through my consultation. Her years of experience, knowledge and beautiful nature was a real asset and made the whole experience (which I was feeling quite overwhelmed with amongst all the excitement) so enjoyable and memorable! Thankyou for making us all feel so welcome and making it an afternoon to remember!!! Grateful thanks - bring on my special day in my stunning wedding dress! :)

I had an amazing experience at Wilkins Bridal. It was my first time trying on wedding dresses and being a shy tomboy I was quite nervous, not expecting to like many dresses. I was put at ease straight away as soon as I met April. She was so helpful and I found it really easy to just be myself around her. I ended up having the opposite problem to what I was expecting and liked pretty much all of the dresses I tried on and felt really confident which is rare for me. April brought me so many options to figure out which style I liked and knew how to clip/pin them perfectly to make them fit. She definitely knows her stuff and I feel like she would be able to find the dream dress for any shape or size! Could not recommend this place more :)

Ok April was amazing. She knew exactly what to put me in. And every dress made me feel absolutely stunning. Thanks again April. That was the best day

Had the best time trying dresses on was such a good experience and April was absolutely amazing! Can't wait to come back and pick my dress.

I was so worried about nothing fitting me or feeling insecure or just hating my entire experience. It was completely the opposite. Shailo was so lovely and accommodating, made me feel comfortable and answered any queries we had.

I was very nervous but April was lovely and made the experience great. All the dresses are beautiful.

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 ??

Wonderful experience

I loved my appointment at Wilkins bridal. It was amazing, everyone felt included and could pick dresses for me to try on. I loved that at my appointment I was make to feel beautiful and my consultant was honest and so friendly. I would recommend Wilkins to anyone!

I loved April and how much fun she was. She was super knowledgable and I tried on heaps of dresses and felt gorgeous.

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!

Lovely to be able to try as much as possible. So welcoming and understanding

Wilkins bridal was absolutely amazing April was amazing at helping me find styles that suited my figure and it was such an awesome time

Had amazing support from April today. She was so helpful and offered great service. Very happy!

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 ??

Wow what an amazing experience. I was very nervous to try on dresses for the first time but I felt so beautiful in everything I wore, I felt like April knew me and my style so well and didn't make me feel rushed atall. Thank you for the amazing experience

April, the consultant who helped me, was amazing. She knew what I would like and pulled dresses that really looked stunning on. Although our consultation was short, I still ended up coming back and buying a dress.

Thank you so much! It was such a great appointment and very helpful.

I loved my visit to Wilkins Bridal. There were so many beautiful dresses and endless amount of options. April was super helpful and very engaging. I would definitely recommend a visit to Wilkins Bridal to find your dream dress! My visit was an experience that I will treasure always. Thankyou Wilkins Bridal.

The staff was extremely helpful and patient. Special thanks to April for giving us a wonderful experience. Keep up the good work.

The woman who worked with me absolutely knew my body shape and size , found out what I liked and fitted me with the perfect dress . It made the experience relaxed and made me feel pretty. Also very good that she included my mum, nana and son in picking out dresses! Best experience!
