about our bridal fitting service

Finding the right size for a Made-to-Order gown is a science, not a guess.

Your private consultation is dedicated to ensuring absolute confidence in your order. Our stylists are MTO Fit Experts who use precise technical profiling to recommend the size that minimises your future alteration needs—saving you time and cost.

There’s a reason why we have a 4.9 star rating from over 240+ happy customers.

Bridal fittings can be a bit daunting when you’ve never tried on a wedding dress before.

But you’ve probably tried on clothes at a store before – while not exactly the same, the end goal is. That is, we’re here to help you find the dress that makes you look and feel great.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • At your bridal fitting, you’ll begin by sharing your wedding vision and dress preferences with a consultant. This may take a few minutes and you’re more than welcome to bring in photos for inspiration.
  • Your consultant will digest the information and select a variety of gowns, starting broadly and refining your choices based on style and comfort.
  • You will be asked what you like and don’t like about each dress you try on – this will help us find the right style and vibe for you.
  • During the fitting, our bridal fitting specialist will discuss adjustments and alterations to help you achieve the perfect fit (because every ready-to-wear wedding dress needs alterations).

Some customers have already browsed our collection of wedding dresses and know exactly which dresses they wish to try.

Other customers don’t know where to start.

Either way, its OK because we’re here to help you find the dress that resonates with YOU.

Our bridal fitting appointments are 60-75 minutes long. If you’re visiting us for a second time to try on a favourite gown, return visits are 30 minutes. Bridal accessory bookings are also 30 minutes.

The first bridal fitting is a 60-75 minute appointment where one of our specialist stylists will get a sense of what you’re after, show you a number of gowns, and let you try on a number of wedding dresses to see what style you prefer.

A return visit is reserved for previous Emerald Bridal brides who have already come in for their first fitting and wish to retry a favourite gown. The return visit appointment is 30 minutes.

Please be advised we charge a $30 booking fee on weekend for first bridal fittings to reduce no-shows and to ensure we can serve as many customers as possible.

To avoid disappointment, we highly recommend that you use the contact form below to request a appointment or give us a call on (02) 9808 5535.

Typically speaking, we are fully booked out on Saturdays as they are the most popular days so it is best you make a booking request in advance.

We recommend giving us a call on (02) 9808 5535 to check real-time availability and secure your spot.

We don’t limit the number of gowns you try on, however, in our experience, the magical number is Five
This is because Five gowns give you ample time to know whether or not the dress you’re trying is right for you. Any more and you will start to feel rushed and that’s not an experience we want for you.

A $30 non-refundable booking fee applies to weekend appointments to help us manage demand.

Our business hours are:

Monday: 10:00am-4:00pm
Tuesday: Closed
Wednesday: 10:00am-4:00pm
Thursday: 12.00pm-7:00pm
Friday: 10:00am-5:00pm
Saturday: 9:30am-5:00pm
Sunday: 9.00am-5.00pm

Because our fittings are 60 to 75 minutes long, the last appointment for each day will be an hour prior to closing time.

Emerald Bridal is typically closed on public holidays.

Of course you want to bring your support group.

Most of our customers bring their best friend and mum. Ideally, you want someone you trust who will give you their honest opinion because they know you and want the best for you.

We do, however, request that you bring no more than 4 guests to your appointment.

If you can’t bring someone along with you, you may FaceTime them during your fitting to get a second opinion (but sorry, no photos).

Photos are not permitted during your consultations, however:

  • FaceTime or video calls are welcome
  • If the gown you’re trying is discontinued, you or your guest may take photos of it or of you wearing it.

You’ll find a wide range of trending styles available in-store, including simple designs, a-line, mermaid, boho, princess, and off-shoulder. Our in-store sample ranges from size 8 to 16 and we hold plus size samples for a select number of dresses.

Our in-store sample ranges from size 8 to 16 and we hold plus size samples for a select number of dresses.

We’ve negotiated with designers to be their exclusive stockist in Sydney. This means around 75% of our collection is exclusive to us. The remaining styles are limited to a handful of Australian boutiques.

Most gowns fall between $1,800 and $4,500. Sample-sale pieces can start from under $1,000.

Standard lead time is 6–8 months from deposit to arrival. Rush production (3–5 months) is available for a 25% surcharge.

A 20% deposit starts production. The remaining 80% is due at your first fitting.

Yes. Most ready-to-wear gowns can be customised—your stylist will confirm options and pricing during the appointment.


Rush orders cut lead time to as little as 12 weeks. Fees range from 10–25%.

Because each gown is made to order, deposits are non-refundable.

Size or design changes are possible within 48 hours of ordering.

Expect two to three fittings. The first is booked eight weeks before the wedding; final tweaks happen two weeks out.

Emerald Bridal does not offer on-site alterations. We are happy to recommend seamstresses across Sydney.

Usually two weeks before your wedding. We’ll confirm the exact date at your final fitting.

Yes, both are complimentary with every gown.

what our customers say

Walking into Emerald Bridal was a breath of fresh air. Elena was calm, sweet and very comforting. So much tears that day and for my family to see me in my beautiful dress was a very emotional roller coaster. It was such a beautiful experience. I felt so calm, emotional and beautiful. I cannot wait to get married. Couldn’t take off my dress. I love it so much.

Great selection, pricing and the most amazing support to find the perfect dress! Thank you, Elena!! You were wonderful!
lisa tyndall
This was the first place I visited when bridal dress shopping and I was quite nervous as I often find it difficult to find clothes that would fit. However, Elena made me comfortable from the very start. They have a huge range and the girls know exactly how to pin the dresses to fit any size. Went to other places but ended up back here for my dream dress! Great service, value and stunning selection of gowns!
