An open-country ceremony

Open paddocks and a dark timber building frame a restrained rural setting. A square-neck gown with sheer long sleeves and a clean fitted line appears in quiet portraits and an outdoor ceremony.

A Santorini wedding

Whitewashed Santorini architecture, blue-domed chapels and open Aegean views shape this island collection. An off-the-shoulder gown with a full skirt and floral-edged veil moves from terrace portraits to an open-air ceremony.

Five-star Google review

Highly recommend! Emerald Bridal was the very 1st boutique that I chose when shopping for wedding gowns. With an array of stunning dresses , I managed to narrow it down to 6 suitable gowns to try and ended up loving the 2nd dress the most. There was just no need to go anywhere else. Their staff were all genuine, relaxed and professional. With the deposit paid they took care of the rest. My dress was ordered to be made and i was given an estimate delivery time. The dress arrived when they said it would - important, & very impressed! Today I collected my dream dress and will be using their recommended seamstress for small alterations when the date gets closer. Thank You Emerald Bridal 👰‍♀️🙌

The Emerald Bridal Team is honestly the best team I have ever experience. The group of people working there are so welcoming, kind and authentic. It made my wedding dress journey fun, memorable, and most importantly, EASY! It was because of them, especially Elena, I could not relate to those horror stories about looking for a wedding dress. All the instruction and the process is clear. Definitely the place to go to if you want to look for that perfect dress without having a headache!

Josephine was absolutely amazing, she made me feel so seen and special and knew exactly what I was looking for. All the dresses were gorgeous and of high quality. I would highly recommend everyone come to emerald bridal but also ask for Josephine as she felt like a part of our family.

Stone arcades and city streets

Ornate stone entrances and narrow city streets give these portraits a strong architectural frame. The gown combines a detailed lace bodice and open back with a fluid, full skirt.

A ceremony above the water

An outdoor ceremony overlooks open water and a rocky shoreline. A fitted gown with floral lace, off-the-shoulder detail and a long veil appears across garden, terrace and waterside portraits.

Lace among the trees

Mature trees and warm red-orange florals bring colour to this garden setting. A full gown with long lace sleeves moves from indoor preparation to an outdoor ceremony and wooded portraits.
