We know planning a wedding can be stressful enough and putting together a wedding that’s been pushed forward can be even more overwhelming.

Let our experienced stylists help take some burden off your shoulders because we can assist you in finding a last minute wedding dress that will make you look and feel magical.

We specialise in ready-to-wear wedding gowns where most dresses have a lead time of 5-8 months.

But don’t lose hope yet!

We stock a large inventory of sample and discontinued bridal gowns that you can try on at our Ryde showroom and if you like it – you can take it home literally off-the-rack immediately!

As you can see, there are plenty of choices to choose from. We have more that we don’t have online so make sure you come in for a viewing/fitting.

From strapless to beading, from chiffon and tulle to lace wedding dress, from spaghetti strap to off-the-shoulder to all types of necklines (sweetheart, v-neck) and silhouettes (ballgown, trumpet, a-line, mermaid, sheath).

Let us make your wedding day or elopement a day to remember.

Unfortunately, we do not. Most sample dresses we have in-store are sizes 6-12 (AU). Please call us on (02) 9808 5535 for assistance.

Unless there is something wrong with your order, we do not accept returns. For sample and discontinued gown sales, we have a strict no-returns policy.

Unsure if mum should come along? Read our blog post, ‘Should I bring my mum to my bridal fitting?’

Couture is a process where a piece of garment is made just for you. That is, an artisan will measure you and create a one-off design.

Ready-to-wear refers to designs that are manufactured to a typical body figure for mass production. But this doesn’t mean that you cannot personalise them to fit you perfectly and at Emerald Bridal, we recommend that you make alterations to your dress after purchase.
