The best experience!

I had the most amazing experience at Silk & Maple. Roberta was so caring and made you feel so special and found me the most perfect dress for my big day. It was my first bridal dress try on and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Can’t wait to see my dress once it’s been tailored!

Absolutley Amazing

I had a not so great experience with a different bridal boutique and Roberta and Tegan showed me exaclty how the experience should be, the girls are amazing. And I found my dress.

The shop is beautiful with its own little rooms. The girls have tons of experience and knowledge. Honestly if I could do it all over again I definitely would.

Best Bridal Shop Experience!!!

I had the most wonderful experience at Silk & Maple! From the moment I walked in, **Gemma** was absolutely amazing—so friendly, welcoming, and warm. I instantly felt at ease, which made such a difference for such an important decision. After I shared a bit about myself and the style I was looking for, Gemma immediately started pulling dresses that I absolutely loved. She even managed to pull *the* dress I said yes to, before I’d even asked if they had that specific one available!

What made this experience even more special were the little touches this shop added along the way. They truly make you feel like a priority and ensure the whole process feels personal and memorable. I couldn't recommend Silk & Maple enough! If you're looking for a beautiful dress and a team that cares about making your day perfect, this is the place to go.

Incredible.

Girls! You were both incredible when I went looking for my dress - it was like watching an artist paint a picture. I went in with an idea and then after 3 dresses you knew what would look good / what I was after and I fell in love with the one you chose. I felt like a real life princess for my big day, the dresses are incredible and you guys are so accommodating.

Thank you 🤍

An absolute dream come true!

I booked an appointment here after I saw someone walk through the high street after picking up their dress.
The store is beautiful and clean. I really appreciated the privacy of having my own changing room and the staff were an absolute dream. Really professional, genuinely excited about my wedding day and super skilled in adding and taking away bits to the dress to make it my dream dress.
Thank you so much for this experience, I’m so excited to be a Silk and Maple bride! Xoxo

Incredible

Gemma was absolutely amazing set the bar very high for other consultants when I go to a few other bridal shops. She listened very carefully, made me feel comfortable, extremely complimentary which is a must I think when you’re choosing such an important dress. Everyone who came with my was absolutely amazed with everything she done and how she made us all feel. I have a gut feeling I’ll be going back for a second look and to say “yes to the dress” xx

Wonderful experience

Approaching my second marriage I had very clear ideas on what I didn’t want and Gemma at Silk & Maple didn’t let me down. Beautiful gowns with such amazing customer service. I found ‘the one’ and the guests who also joined me loved the whole experience too.

Silk & Maple is THE perfect Bridal shop.

Silk & Maple is THE perfect Bridal shop.
Although I was nervous, as soon as we arrived Roberta and Tegan made us feel so welcome and excited for the appointment. There are so many beautiful dresses and styles to choose from and Roberta really listened to what I liked and what I was looking for with each dress I tried on. I said yes to the dress which Roberta had hand selected for me, it is absolutly stunning and I felt so happy having found my dream dress, there were even tears!
I also returned for an accessorry appointment with Jess who shared so much knowledge and made me feel at ease helping me find the perfect veil to compliment my dress.
Silk & Maple made Wedding Dress shopping such a special and memorable experience for me and my mum that we will remember forever. We felt all of the team went above and beyond to create a personal appointment and I would recommend Silk & Maple to all brides to be ✨🤍

I have no words that can express my gratitude towards Tegan and Roberta and my whole experience. I was so anxious and overwhelmed but they made me feel at ease and dare I say it, beautiful by the end. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. It’s been a precious and memorable experience and I cannot wait to wear ‘the one’ 💕 they both truly deserve every accolade bestowed upon them.

The BEST EVER wedding dress experience

Oh my goodness! Words cannot describe how amazing my experience was at Silk & Maple. I booked a bespoke bridal evening and it went above and beyond all my expectations and I have never felt more loved and special. The surprises, the care and attention to detail and the genuine interest in what I was looking for was everything I could have wanted. Both Tegan and Roberta even secretly knew between them which dress I would pick before I had even picked it myself - if that doesn't tell you how amazing these ladies are at their job I don't know what does! I have come away with my dream dress and my friends and family are equally as happy and blown away by the whole experience. I would give it six stars if I could! Thank you so much to both Tegan & Roberta - I will be making the trip again to visit their new bridesmaid store!

Perfect from start to finish!

I was so nervous about trying dresses on but I had the best experience at Silk & Maple! The warmest welcome on arrival, a huge range of dresses and the very knowledgeable ladies to help find the perfect dress! Tegan made my whole appointment super easy and fun, I loved every second. I wouldn’t change a thing about my experience and can’t wait to put my dress on again. Thank you ladies!

Silk and Maple will forever hold a special place in my heart! They provide excellent, personal service and always have a smile on their face. The wedding dress I said yes to, was one that Roberta and Tegan both suggested for me! They have heaps of experience and knowledge and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go anywhere else for their special day🤍 lots of love ladies x

Say yes to Silk & Maple

I cannot express how incredible my experience was at this store.
After being to multiple wedding dress shops across the county, I hadn’t found the one. Until I visited Silk & Maple, Roberta was amazing and made me and my guests feel relaxed and welcome.
She understood my vision and helped steer me in the right direction and ultimately chose my wedding dress!
I didn’t feel pressured to purchase and felt at ease the entire time.

Cannot wait to come back and see my dress again! Thankyou girls x
