They were very discrete and efficient. My mother knew what she wanted me to try on, and I disagreed, but the staff were always silent on the topic - they didn't argue. When I decided on a dress, they did everything possible to help me visualise how it would be on the day. They have a small shop and not much room, but they never hurried us or pressured us. We couldn't decide on a veil, but they never forced any sales. They also make their own jewellery and tiaras.

Approximate cost: $600

It was so beautiful - the trees, the creek running behind, the location nestled in the foothills, and even a peacock for the photos! We organised to have the ceremony outside in a leafy, shady grove, with an arbour for me to walk through and a gazebo for the celebrant. It rained on the day of our wedding, but the staff quickly re-arranged all the seating so we could have the ceremony on the function hall, under all the fairy lights. They even let us bring in our own special, family-tradition alcohol for the toast. Always friendly, always accommodating ... they were absolutely divine!

Always, always our first stop in Melbourne. Amazing juices, really lovely friendly owner, and gorgeous bacon and eggs for breakky. I love it so much, I want to move to Melbourne just for this.
