I cannot recommend Sam and the team at The Bridal Curator enough! Sam was so incredibly warm, professional, flexible, patient and accommodating throughout my wedding planning process. Sam was able to create a bespoke custom dress for me so I could have all the details I wanted. I looked forward to my try-on appointments and fully trusted Sam and the team to make my wedding dress perfect. My dress itself was high-quality, lovingly crafted by the team and fit me like a glove! I was so thrilled with the end product and would recommend Sam and TBC to everyone!

The Bridal Curator, especially Sam and the team, saved my wedding. Coming from Brisbane to Melbourne, my original dress plans fell through the day before my trip. With less than 4 months until the wedding, I was anxious. Sam responded promptly when I reached out at the airport, and within hours, I found and fell in love with a gown. Remarkably, the perfectly crafted dress was ready within 7 weeks, requiring no alterations. Thank you, Sam and the team, for bringing this dress to life and making my wedding day truly special!

I can’t recommend Sam from the Bridal Curator enough!
I walked in not knowing what I was really looking for in a wedding dress and he was so patient and provided options which he thought would suit me. I’m the type to never try clothes on and he made me feel so comfortable and beautiful and was always so professional.
You can see his passion and expertise with every meeting and the turnaround was exceptional.
I will recommend any future bride I come across to see Sam and the lovely staff at The Bridal Curator. Thank you again xxx

Sam is incredible!! After trying all different bridal stores in Sydney, I thought on a short trip to Melbourne I’d visit the Bridal Curator. Best decision I made! Sam was so accomodating and helpful and I ended up finding my perfect dress from the store’s own label. The quality and fit was amazing and I needed only very minor alterations. I wish I could put it back on everyday 😅
Can’t thank Sam enough!! Highly recommend the Bridal Curator to anyone looking for an amazing experience and a gentle person who cares about you & how important finding the right dress is when getting married 🥰

Sam and Tess could not be more amazing! Tess helped put together my wedding day look and had amazing vision, stayed calm even under pressure and helped me pick the one even when I didn't feel great coming into the appointment.

Both Sam and Tess have such an eye for detail and everything they suggested was perfect. They both listened to what I was after, helped with some design decisions and even both kept my mother/MIL calm for each appointment.

The dress is magic but that is a testament to Sam and Tess and all the work they do behind the scenes to make sure you feel as good as you can! Thanks to you both - finding my dress with you was such a magical experience. 5/5 stars doesn't seem like enough!

I had the most amazing experience purchasing my wedding dress from the Bridal Curator. Sam was amazing - he was attentive, honest, flexible and most of all patient. He would make time to see me when I couldn't decide on a dress and needed to try more on, he was very responsive and always available to help.
Thank you so much Sam for making me feel like an absolute princess with my Eva Lendel Rebeka gown in full ivory lining :)

It was an absolute privilege and pleasure to work with Sam at The Bridal Curator in selecting my dream wedding dress. I had such a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend him more highly! I had a very clear vision of what my dress would look like and Sam was brilliant in helping me find exactly what I was looking for. I ended up choosing Eva Lendel's 'Wish' dress which felt the most like me. During each fitting, I was blown away with Sam's patience, friendliness, attention to detail, and how invested he was in wanting to ensure everything was just right for me. He made me feel so calm and relaxed each time! Sam suggested adding small customisations to the dress which suited me perfectly coupled with the most beautiful veil. The whole process was a dream and I am so grateful for the experience I had with Sam. Thank you so much! Kerry xx

I would highly recommend Sam and the Bridal Curator for your wedding dress!

Sam created a version of one of his own Curator the Label designs for me, which I absolutely loved. It looked perfect on my wedding day!

Sam is also very chill and loves a laugh, which is necessary when in the sometimes stressful wedding planning process! We were able to alter my dress for my changing body over the “wedding shred” process.

It was great to support Sam in his growing local business.

All the best!

Sam went above and beyond to make the most beautiful dress. Every visit was made to feel special. It was worth the 2.5 drive. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!! I am left speechless with not only my dress but the service! Thank you xx

For those looking for a wedding dress, you must visit Sam and his team at the Bridal Curator! Whilst I haven't decided on a dress yet (I have been inundated with too many choices and can't make a decision!), my experience at the Bridal Curator was amazing. Sam has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the bridal space and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. He has such a beautiful nature and didn't try and push a sale like so many other boutiques do! The dresses he designs are beautiful and he also offers a range of other labels! Ladies add Bridal Curator as a must see when deciding on a gown!

Less than a month til my wedding, I walked into The Bridal Curator hoping to talk myself out of my dream dress knowing it was way out of my price range, plus I already had a dress. It turned out to be the best move. I was greeted by the most amazing ladies, Maddie & Tess who really made all my dreams come true. Maddie found me something even better than my dream dress and the price was perfect too. The dress looks amazing as it is and with slight alterations I can only imagine how awesome it will look. I had been dreading my wedding day and now I just can't wait to wear this dress. I highly recommend every bride make the trip to The Wedding Curator for an enjoyable, professional experience, and that fabulous feeling that you are in safe hands. So looking forward to my first fitting and now, so ready to marry the man of my dreams in my dream dress. Thank you for making this process so simple and for making me feel amazing. ❤

Sam is one of a kind, he made what was and is a daunting experience SO calm, relaxed, enjoyable and fun! In the end I visited 4 bridal stores and by far could not top my experience with Sam. I had a selection of dresses I thought I wanted, we tried those and none took my fancy. Sam then suggested a design of his own, Curator the Label, and I fell in love. The dress itself was beautifully made, had customisations that suited me and I could tell would fit me beautifully after alterations by Sam's team. Sure enough I had my fittings which were thorough and I was comfortable to express areas I wanted altered etc. The dress turned out perfectly, I actually was sad I wasn't going to visit the store any longer! Absolutely amazing experience, thank you Sam, from the bottom of my newly wedded heart!

When I first started looking for my dress, I was worried as I had a short lead up time of 3 months to the date.

From the initial consultation to the final fitting, Sam listened, was not pushy and was able to work with my needs. Throughout the process he was professional, gave great advice, communicated well and the entire journey was smooth and stress free.

I highly recommend working with Sam and the Bridal Curator team for your perfect wedding dress.

Thank you Sam!

Gorgeous curated selection of wedding gowns! Sam and his team will go above and beyond to find or create your dream dress. Thank you, team at The Bridal Curator!

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 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 LENDEL 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 cannot thank Sam and his team enough for helping me with my gown for my big day! Working with Sam was such a fantastic experience!
I had tried few boutiques before finding Sam and found most other boutiques had a very generic experience that didn’t feel personal or tailored to me.
Sam made it feel like catching up with an old friend every time I came in! He made every fitting such an enjoyable and relaxed experience.

His dedication to ensuring everything was perfect for me was beyond my expectations! Sam and his team were extremely flexible in regards to fittings to get everything just right. I was so impressed with the emphasis that Sam and his team placed on the client experience.

Thank you so much Sam, it was honestly the most enjoyable wedding dress experience I could have ever asked for. My gown was divine and I got so many compliments on it!

I highly recommend Sam and his team to anyone looking for someone who will be as invested in you and your dress as you are.

I cannot speak highly enough of Sam!
From my first appointment it was clear that he was not like other bridal consultants I had dealt with, his knowledge and passion for what he does really shows, and I felt confident that he understood what I was looking for in a wedding gown.
Sam made suggestions along the way and offered creative ideas of how we could achieve my perfect dress. I collected my dress last week and it is beyond what I had imagined, absolutely beautiful!
As a bride trying to plan a Melbourne wedding from interstate, it can be tricky to line up appointments for fittings, but Sam was extremely accommodating and made the process so easy.
I would recommend Sam to anyone beginning their search for their dream dress.

Girl, stop looking, you have found your dress designer. Sam, I cannot thank you enough. Your breezy attitude has made my experience so easy and carefree. I only had three months until my wedding and Sam made sure everything was perfect. Amazing designer with heaps of options, patient, creative, honest and kind. Sam if we had more time I think we’d become good friends, love your work x

Highly recommend visiting Bridal Curator - they have amazing designs and the team are great. There’s no pressure and it’s all about your experience and finding the right dress for you. They are also passionate about bridal fashion, and will take you through all the different options for a custom look.
