Elda's Bridal Boutique

stine is a beautiful, talented and kind person who made my experience buying a wedding dress a dream. She made the custom off-the shoulder sleeves for my dress herself, the care and love she pours into her work is clear to see. Everything at Elda's feels like family, the girls are warm and welcoming and bring you up when you are feeling unsure of yourself-biggest shoutout to bridal consultant Layne, without whom I never would have been able to find my dress and who has been a god send for each fitting, every question, every concern and everything in between that's come up. I cannot recommend this place enough, even if you don't need a wedding dress anytime soon-their formal wear is just as stunning!

of great ideas for my dress and viel that made my experience even better. They were there for any questions along the way, and after the wedding. My dress is georgous and they helped make me feel like the beautiful Bride every Woman dreams of. Thank You Kristine and Layne for an outstanding job.

ry on whatever dresses I wanted from their curated selection. They were so accommodating when I went back and forth on the final 2 dresses, so different in style. Once I chose, they made alterations easy and kept the dress up until the wedding day. I was so happy to get my dress at Elda's!

is always so kind. I went in knowing the style of dress I wanted and it turned out to be the first one I tried on! The dress was ordered, altered and picked up on time and the process was so smooth! I love my dress!

priced and do the alterations in-house! I feel fortunate to be an Elda’s bride! 💕

s appointment. When I stepped into Elda’s, it was a night and day difference between the chain store and this family-owned business. Not only was the quality of dresses more incredible at Elda’s (only smokes those chain store dresses were ill-fitting), but in the overall, one-on-one, try-on experience. I don’t even want to say that they had great customer service, because that doesn’t do it justice. You are welcomed as family from right when you step in the door. You can tell that Kristine and her small, close staff has a passion for you and your big day. I am so happy to have been a part of this local family! Trust their judgement and you can’t go wrong. A few bridal tips: consider the price of your veil, pressing, garment bag and alterations in your total cost. Those snuck up on me, but only because I had no idea the price of those things. That being said, I still think Elda’s was a wonderful value. Also, my dress was chiffon which I LOVED. It’s light and airy and made for some gorgeous photos. Just note that it snags really easy and even with 3 layers, light would shine through my legs on the big day. I didn’t mind, but my parents noticed.

lterations were on point too!! I will recommend to any bride. It was so stress free. So perfect. Thank you so much for helping me find the perfect dress, husband loved it too which is always a great thing ;)

ould find a dress anytime soon. From the moment I stepped foot in the store, Kristine was friendly, accommodating and SO helpful. She was not pushy AT ALL and only offered her opinion when she was explicitly asked. Kristine stocks a beautiful selection of bridal gowns, you won't find anything outdated in her shop. My fittings were pleasant as well, I chit chatted with Kristine and the seamstress the entire time, and Kristine was *adamant*, I mean really a perfectionist, about getting me pinned correctly so that my dress would fit like a glove, and of course it fit perfectly on my wedding day!! Definitely give Elda's Bridal a visit - you will be in such good hands with Kristine and her team!!!

I truly appreciate all the extra work and detail that went into making the dress fit perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Elda's Bridal for your great customer service and expertise!

s so they were exactly in line with what I envisioned. The inside of the store may be small, but the shop is gorgeous and Kristine is so knowledgeable about all of her dresses-she will help you find something you love. Elda's is the oldest bridal shop in Melbourne, you will not get service like this anywhere else. I highly recommend!

leeves altered so they were more on-the-shoulder rather than off-the-shoulder). She went above and beyond to accommodate me and my schedule when planning my fittings. She also helped me pick out the perfect hair piece and veil to match the dress. The dress was absolutely beautiful, and Elda's has the best selection in the area by far. I had a pretty specific style in mind (form-fitting, lace, illusion back, buttons up the back), and they had exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely go to Elda's if you are looking for the perfect wedding dress and excellent service!

at this location! I went to a couple shops just to see what options were out there but I knew I was going to end up at Eldas! We absolutely love the service and work these ladies do! The dress was perfect! Thank you

stine says "you only need one" I found it here. Her prices are wonderful and even though its a small shop, it's worth a trip.

re sold there. It was worth the drive! When you are there they focus all of their attention on you and helping you find the perfect gown (complete opposite of like David's Bridal, where it's just chaos), and they are not pushy to make a sale, they just help you figure out what is going to look best on you. The owner, Christine, is such a sweet woman and she gives you her full attention and gives you the feeling that your dress is the most important thing to her, which is so great. During the alteration process and fittings, she was so detail oriented and really made sure my dress was going to look perfect on me as well as feel comfortable and in the end it was perfect! It fit like a glove, didn't move around on me all night, and was the exact perfect length. My dress was perfection and this shop was so great to work with I'm so happy I bought my dress from here.

ed my wedding day. Christine is awesome!!!!!She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy!!!!! Would highly recommend Elda's. It's worth the drive to Melbourne. :)

o felt like I was in good hands every step of the way. If you want honest and true customer service visit Elda's and ask for Kristine. Married August 9, 2014- Destination Wedding in Punta Cana Dominican Republic

ress, and finally found it at Elda's... And at a reasonable price!! Would definitely recommend this shop for any bride looking to find her perfect dress. Only concern I had was with the final alterations as it did not get altered exactly as I'd been told it would. Make sure to have a final fitting and you should be fine!
