Most gowns take around 4 to 6 months to arrive. Getting married sooner? We can offer express delivery on some gowns, and some can go home with you straight off the rack, so a short timeline doesn’t have to mean missing out.

Brides First Forever is the dream! I cannot recommend BFF enough! When you dream about the moment you find your perfect dress, you imagine the moment you instantly know, the smile, the tears and that feeling you’ve seen so many times on Say yes to the dress. You think surely its not actually going to be like that for me. Well, I’m here to say it can be because I had the best experience and found my perfect dress, all thanks to Alyssa and Gianna. From the very first communication with them to the day I picked up my dress, the service was warm, professional and personal. I instantly felt confident knowing I was in such knowledgable hands. My appointment with Alyssa was everything I could have hopefully for. It was almost like she knew my vision to a tee and didn’t stop until she found exactly what I was looking for. She went above and beyond for me and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. My dress was actually the first dress I tried on and wasn’t even on my radar but Alyssa knew exactly what I had dreamt of since I was a little girl, that princess moment and she was absolutely right. I felt so confident and so beautiful. When I went back to pick up my dress, Gianna and Alyssa were just as wonderful. They took the time to explain how to properly care for my dress and exactly what I needed to do, which made me feels so reassured. They even helped recommend different places for my mum to find the perfect outfit she was looking for, they just know so much about what they do. If I could give 1000 stars I would, Girls if you’ve read this far and you’re wondering where to go, let me tell you, you will NOT regret choosing Brides First Forever. Alyssa and Gianna will look after you, make you feel so comfortable and help make one of the biggest wedding experiences the absolute best it can possibly be. Thank you both for making finding my dream dress everything I ever imagined it would be.

Oh my goodness… 1000/10 stars!!! Long story short! Here we go! After a really disappointing experience at another bridal boutique, where I was shown a gown THREE times over my budget, I was honestly devastated and left in tears. By chance, I was told about this beautiful bridal boutique on the Sunshine Coast. I reached out, sent through my sketches and inspiration, and their amazing communication convinced Mum and I to make the road trip from Coffs Harbour. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in the right place! These gorgeous ladies took my vision and turned it into a custom gown, going above and beyond every step of the way. The care, communication and attention to detail were absolutely incredible. They even went the extra mile to organise my alterations so I could leave with my dress ready to go back to Coffs. I honestly cannot thank them enough. They made this experience into something so incredibly special and memorable. I had a vision, and they made it happen! Thank you SOOOOO much! UNDER 4 WEEKS TO GO!!!! Woo hoooooo!!!!! Xoxoxo

I met Alyssa at the bridal expo in Brisbane and instantly knew I needed to go to her store – no matter that I lived 90 minutes away! Not to sound silly, but Alyssa’s energy was so warm, and she was just so kind, friendly and calm. At our dress fitting, she made me feel so special, cared for and supported too. The whole experience from trying dresses on for the first time all the way through ordering and collection has been so pleasant, easy and exciting. Alyssa is the type of person that makes you excited to be giving your money to, if that makes sense. I can’t WAIT to wear my dress – I haven’t seen it anywhere else and it is completely perfect. I’ll happily update the review with pictures once I’m married lol but for now…

Edit: [post wedding…. - My panic and fear of not finding THE dress, all went away at my first appointment with BFF. From the knowledge and passion, to the constant communication and updates, the service was nothing short of amazing and Bride centred. I felt really looked after by the team at Brides First Forever; they made the dress process and experience so easy and incredible. Loved every moment!! I could not thank them enough for bringing my vision to life. Felt like a princess in my customised wedding dress.] I highly recommend these lovely ladies for a personalised bridal shopping experience. I felt at ease from the moment I arrived. With my mind set on a specific design, we were able to create a custom dress where no request was any drama. I’m so thankful to Alyssa and Gianna for being so accomodating, patient and taking me under their wing despite the short time frame that I need a dress for.

Alyssa and Gianna make the experience of trying to find a wedding dress such an amazing experience. They are very supportive and genuinely want to help you find that special one. The relaxed environment also helps to make it feel more casual without loosing the wedding dress shopping atmosphere. I would highly recommend you start your wedding dress shopping here first!

Alyssa and her mum are the most beautiful and funny women. Absolutely lovely and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They had the best energy! I ended up choosing my dress from elsewhere but felt like I was cheating on them by doing this as they were just so wonderful and I would have really loved to support their business. I want to say a huge thankyou so much for your time, you both really made the whole experience special 🥰

We had the best time at Brides First Forever. From the warm welcome the second we arrived, to all the good laughs throughout, Gianna and Alyssa were absolutely incredible. They were so accommodating with everything we asked and really took the time to make the experience personal for us. I loved the beautiful set up — it just made the whole appointment feel so special. You can tell how much care they put into it. If you want a boutique that feels like friends helping you find “the one”, Gianna and Alyssa at Brides First Forever are it. Highly recommend!

Had the most amazing experience trying on dresses. They were able to order in a dress they didn’t stock but from a brand they did and were incredibly considerate. They took their time with me, offered so many options and encouraged a really slow (in a good way), thoughtful experience. Was a wonderful first experience dress shopping in an intimate private venue. Would recommend to any bride and well worth the trip for various designer dresses & more custom options

TRY HERE FIRST So happy with our experience – we purchased a gorgeous designer gown from this genuine family business! Professional service in a comfortable environment which really suited us. So easy & relaxed. Tried the ‘paid’ appointments in the city that offered fancy styled boutiques + overpriced gowns [ pressure included ]. This Mother / Daughter team are pleasure to deal with – generous with their time & real life tips for your big day regarding your entire outfit. You can tell it’s their passion & together, they offer a unique option that we HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

After looking at multiple other bridal boutiques and feeling like I’d never find a dress I truly loved, I finally found the ‘one’ among the gorgeously curated collection at Brides First Forever. The dresses were so elegant, classic, customisable, and affordable, and Gianna and Alyssa’s warm and helpful natures immediately put me at ease throughout the process. I can’t wait to wear my beautiful dress on my wedding day! Thank you, Brides First Forever 🙂

Debbie was very personable and knowledgeable, and made dress shopping such a positive and comfortable experience. Every single gown was just so beautiful and comfortable, and well made, which made deciding on the one so so difficult! Debbie provided constant updates on the progress of my dress, and it arrived a whole lot sooner than expected. It fit perfectly, and was so breathtakingly beautiful! I wore it comfortably for well over 10 hours! I received so many compliments and questions as to where I got my dress from, I could not be happier!

From the day that I went in to the store to buy my dream wedding dress, there was nothing but smiles from both Debbie and her partner! I tried a wedding dress on and wanted to change a few things on the dress, there were no silly requests with alterations, and Deb was able to accomodate these! My wedding dress was everything that I could have imagine. I am so thankful for Debbie and her partner for all their help!! My wedding dress was ready on time for our overseas wedding, Debbie was friendly, always helpful, and I couldn’t fault their customer service at all! 100% would recommend Brides First Forever to anyone looking for their perfect wedding dress!!!! Thank you so much again Debbie and Debbie’s partner!
