We are located in in Wilston Village at 5/102 Kedron Brook Road, Wilston QLD 4051.

One of our key points of difference here at The Art of Bridal is the intimate and private nature of our appointments. For this reason, we do require an appointment to ensure we deliver this level of service to all of our beautiful brides. Your dedicated Bridal Stylist will work with you to bring your vision to life with exclusive access to the boutique!

If there’s someone you’d love to work with, just submit an enquiry via our contact form and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

You certainly can! We do ask if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, where possible, please give 48-hours notice. If less than 48-hours is provided, unfortunately the appointment fee paid will be non-refundable.

Please contact the boutique if you need to reschedule.

We stock a variety of sample sizes, from an AU10 through to an AU16. Many of our designers accommodate ordering from a size AU6 through to AU24 or alternatively we can opt for custom measurements with certain designers.

As we have one sample of each dress, we understand that it can be challenging trying to envision a sample gown that you love in the right size and colour for your special day. Never fear! We are experienced in creative solutions to showcase what your gown would look like and will do everything practical to demonstrate the style and fit of a gown when trying on samples.

If you are concerned about sample sizes or have any questions please send us a message before your appointment and we are more than happy to call and have a chat.

Our gowns range between $3,000 - $7,500. The average gown is between $4,500 - $5,500. This is heavily dependent on which avenue for your gown you would like to pursue. We offer both ‘made to order’, which means the dress is made as/when we place the order with the designer and enters a 5-8 months production process.

We also offer a bespoke gown experience where we can create your gown from the ground up! If you can dream it, we will make it a reality - or as we like to say, ‘unveil your vision’.

If you have a particular price point you would like to stick to, please let us know and we will do our best to guide you in this area. To simplify your search, each gown page on our website features a star rating indicating its price range.

Absolutely. Share your vision with your stylist and we’ll help bring it to life.

Our standard process with our designer gowns are ‘made to order’. We will take measurements in the boutique when you say ‘YES’ for the purpose of determining your best standard size. Many of our designers offer ‘split sizing’ which assists to reduce alterations required. Most brides will still require some tailoring to achieve that perfect, made-for-you fit. We’re thrilled to now offer in-house alterations with our expert seamstress’, right here at the boutique. Alterations typically start from approximately $400, depending on the complexity of the work required.

Common alterations can include but are not limited to:

• Strap or sleeve adjustment;

• Hemming - Dresses are made to standard length and will require hemming to suit your preference and functionality requirements;

• Your dress may need to be taken in OR let out at the Bust, Waist or Hips depending on what standard size needed to be ordered;

• Bra cup or padding insertion (if wanted/needed for additional cleavage or support); or

• Adding a Bustle (loop & button) to your gown to hook up your train.

Please note, small alterations are still likely for bespoke gowns.
