It's not every day that a girl is on the hunt for a wedding dress so the whole process should be a special one, and Helen English goes the extra mile to make it so. I recently visited her gorgeous little shop in Paddington with a close friend who is a bride to be and i was really impressed with the experience. Helen herself looked after my friend, helping her try the different styles and discussing options in styles, fabrics and cuts. At one stage she happily obliged with pulling down a manican so my friend could try the dress. She was attentive, helpful and friendly. Completely relaxed with us taking photos of the dresses so we could discuss them later. We went to a number of different stores but nowhere else was the service as good. Oh and the dresses are absolutely beautiful! read more

My experience with finding the perfect wedding dress was an easy one! As soon as I met with Helen to discuss options it was an exciting and easy task. She understood the direction & gave me so many options to the fabric and lace which was great as we built the dress design from scratch, I absolutely loved my custom designed dress which Helen English created - I loved it more than I ever thought I would! I have since recommended to my girlfriends who are all now Helen English brides too! I only wish I could do it all over again. read more
