The Bridal Curator - Bridal Shops Melbourne

SAM is everything you want and more when it comes to finding that perfect dress for your special day. The variety and quality of the dresses found here are second to none AND at a good price range! I was lucky enough to get my hands on an EVA LENDAL gown! As a COVID-19 affected bride with ample roadblocks and detours leading up to my special day, Sam was super supportive and able to re-arrange things promptly to ensure I got my dress fitted, altered and perfect on my special day. One of the obstacles thrown his way was me falling pregnant before the big day! Sam made me feel super comfortable in my changing body and altered my dress to perfection. It sat on me so beautifully come the wedding day. I might add - Sam is the perfect hype man when trying on the beautiful gowns the Bridal Curator have to offer! Brides, get into formation and head here!

I rarely ever post a review but after 3 months since I had been to the bridal curator, I find myself still thinking about the positive and fun interactions I had. I came from Sydney to try their selections of gowns and Sam was soo nice and fun to talk to and helped me so much with figuring out what gowns fit my body type. He took the time to hold my phone and let me model it for my family and friends who were overseas or interstate and even communicated with them. I did not end up buying a gown from them as I found another dress locally but their service tops every other bridal gown shop I went to… wish you were in Sydney!

I had a great experience buying my wedding dress here. Sam was very kind and provided great advice along the entire process. I ended up buying a dress Sam picked for me and it looked gorgeous. Everyone loved it and I am completely in love with it.

I had the best experience at The Bridal Curator. Sam and Mel were both amazing. Very professional and helpful. They understood exactly what I was looking for. I had already been to 6 other bridal stores but as soon as I tried on one of their dresses I knew she was the one. A big thank you to Sam and Mel for making this such a memorable and happy experience for me.
I would 100% recommend The Bridal Curator to anyone looking for their perfect dress. Most definitely the best bridal store I have been to, and believe me I went to quite a few. You won’t be disappointed with the dress options or the exceptional service. My wedding is in Oct so I will definitely share more pictures then. Thanks guys.

Sam is amazing! His shop is beautiful and is stocked with amazing gowns. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about his craft and is always ready to help with anything you need. I have purchased my dress through him and really enjoyed the process. Definitely recommend going to him for your wedding gown!

I cannot thank Sam enough for creating the most beautiful wedding gowns! I had the pleasure of wearing his Curator the Label Olympia gown on my wedding day. It looked absolutely incredible and made me feel like a Hollywood movie star! Sam truly knows how to design beautiful gowns that highlight a woman’s body. I felt amazing and got so many compliments!
Thank you for making the entire shopping experience so enjoyable too! I cannot recommend The Bridal Curator more highly!

I loved Sam and his store The Bridal Curator.
He was so lovely, patient, kind, laid back, and allowed you to look at his beautiful selection of dresses without pressure. He was really organised with timeframes when I picked my dress from there, and made all efforts to make sure I was happy. Had a great experience:) and got lots of comments on how gorgeous my dress was on the day too

Sam was absolutely amazing! The whole process was seamless and he helped every step of the way to ensure everything was perfect!

Without a doubt the best bridal salon in Melbourne! Sam is very attentive, knowledgeable and has a beautiful range of dresses. I’m so in love with my dress and he made sure it fit me perfectly. Even after I brought it home, he was only a txt message away if I had any questions. I would highly recommend the Bridal Curator to anyone starting their gown search. Thank you Sam!

I cannot recommend Sam enough. Today is the day after my wedding, and he honestly he made my day. After a disaster I needed a wedding dress in 3 weeks - I really wish Sam was there when I first went looking for a wedding dress in 2019. But am so grateful to have found him. Not only did he turn the dress around in 2 weeks, but it was a beautiful experience - and my dream dress. His brands are elegant and very beautiful with such variety in style, but not as beautiful as his own designs. He is not only an expert, but also such a beautiful person to have gone through this part with. You won’t be disappointed, and are sure to find your dream dress! Thank you Sam

I wore a dress by Curator the Label for my wedding earlier this month and I could not recommend The Bridal Curator enough. Sam was so amazing to deal with. Nothing was an issue and he provides a really great one on one experience during the appointments as well as a lot of technical knowledge as he is a designer himself, which i found really helpful. I am sad the whole thing is over because visiting the store was one of my favourite parts.

The overall experience was wonderful. We had a lovely time and were made to feel special and very welcome

Sam from the Bridal Curator was so incredibly helpful and friendly. When trying on dresses he made me feel so comfortable and was very professional. My gown was perfectly tailored and I cant wait to wear it. Gorgeous experience from start to finish

Experience started out great and I was so looking forward to getting my stunning JESS dress and overskirt but sadly the whole experience once it arrived hit rock bottom.

Firstly, the dress I was measured for prior to ordering didn’t fit when it arrived. My body shape or weight hadn’t changed since ordering but it needed a lot of alterations I was told at my expense, to the tune of another $900 dollars so a dress that cost $3550 then became $4450.5 visits for fittings because the issues hadn’t been fixed, a total of 10 hours drive time to get back and forth, and it still doesn’t fit right today and I renew my vows on Saturday. I asked on the 4th visit why isn’t the seamstress here, response “I’m familiar with the process and I’m trying to be accommodating” I wasn’t looking to be accommodated or have someone be familiar with dressmaking. I was looking for an expert. I have taken the dress away now to take it to another tailor. What should have been a wonderful experience has left me hating my dress. It’s too late to buy another dress.

My advise is have a seamstress at the fittings someone who is an expert and a trained tailor.

Sam is such a brilliant bridal wear expert! He went above and beyond to help me with my gown for my special day, and I can’t praise him more highly. Excellent service and such a lovely person. I would strongly recommend going to the bridal curator for your wedding gown.

Look no further for your wedding dress! This is the place to find a beautifully curated collection of elegant gowns and in-house designs while also enjoying the experience. From the moment I walked in, Sam knew what I needed, listened to what I wanted and made me feel my best self for my wedding day. I even miss going in for fittings with him!
