Dear Elizabeth de Varga Team,

Thank you for providing me with the most beautiful dress for my  wedding day! From the get go, your service was second to none and you followed through with that right up until the pick up point.  Leonie, who I dealt with most, was lovely and caring and so particlular with ensuring every detail was just perfect.  Being a perfectionist myself, I really apprecitated it and wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else.  I can only hope that every other bride who is involved with Elizabeth de Varga is as happy as I am and was with my dress, veil and jewellery!

I have attached a few photos (see our Feature Bride section) incase you are interested in seeing the end result on the day of our wedding - 16th February 2013.

Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart....

To the team at Elizabeth de Varga, Maroochydore and Brisbane stores,

I always knew that I wanted to wear one of Elizabeth de Varga'a amazing dresses even before I was engaged.  Once I became engaged, I was in Maroochydore for the weekend and walked into your store to begin the process of trying on wedding dresses.  I was a little worried about how I should know which dress was "the one".  I tried on two dresses and immediately fell in love with the first dress I tried on, the Honor gown.  I paid for the dress and veil that day! All of my fittings with your Brisbane store were handled with the upmost professionalism and made me feel very well looked after and special.  I had the gown altered to add the stunning sleeves that matched the veil, without any problems at all.  I cannot recommend you enough to my friends, not only because you are my favourite Australian wedding dress designer, but also because you have amazing gowns and service.  I felt so special in my dress on my wedding day and had so many comments on the day and continue to receive comments on my dress.  Someone at my wedding even wanted to buy my dress off me but I wanted to keep it, as it is very special to me:-)

I would just like to thank the staff and dress makers from Elizabeth de Varga Stones Corner for not only making my dream wedding dress a piece of art, but for the amazing customer service and compassion. I think people are quick to point our bad customer service but not often enough are people reognised and thanked for great customer care and service.

Right from the second I walked into Elizabeth de Varga (then situated in Brisbane Mall), I was warmly welcomed and taken care of. I felt no pressure to have to buy the dress I tried on, but the quaility spoke for itself and the fact that I could create and add to the dress that was designed just for me was the icing of the cake.

At each fitting the care and attention to detail to make sure everything was just right, was a great feeling and made the whole process very enjoyable and was one less thing that I had to stress about for the big day.

On the date of my final fitting the staff were so wonderful as my son had just had a brain injury the week prior and I was feeling extremely emotional and reluctant to even try my dress on.  But they were so sympathetic, helped make a time to suit me after we could leave the hospital and were just so lovely.

So, thank you to each and every one of you who made my dress and experience at Elizabeth de Varga one I will most definately cherish and remember.

To the Most Amazing Team at Elizabeth de Varga

I would like to say Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me for our wedding. From you amazing service every single time I stepped in your shop to the designing of my absolutely stunning wedding dress, I can not thankyou enough. My dress was and still is the most amazing dress I have ever worn and I still get so many comments on how stunning it was and how the dress was 'So Me', it was just perfect.

For a girl whom was extremely nervous about the whole dress process, I could not have asked for a better team of ladies to assist me with every single question and request I had. I will forever recommend you to every new bride I know! You helped make the day I married my best friend the most amazing day ever!

Kind Regards

I just wanted to say thank you so much for designing my beautiful wedding gown.  I felt absolutely amazing in it and I received so many compliments from our guests regarding the gown.  You were a pleasure to deal with and so professional in every single dealing with you!!  It was so nice to deal with a fully Australian company.  I will be recommending you to all future brides I know.

Just a little note to let you know how thrilled I was to wear one of your beautiful gowns!  The girls were wonderful with the fittings and adjustments, they were very attentive.  I wanted lace straps on my gown, they sewed on the most beautiful lace for me, it was vintage and feminine.  I decided not to wear a veil, but at the last fitting I decided to try one on, it looked stunning with my gown, and the girls were only too happy to make one for me. thank you again for a stress free time and for creating the wedding dress of my dreams. 
 
ps. my cousin came over for our wedding, she got married ten years ago, she loved,
loved, loved my dress, and told her it was a Elizabeth de Varga,  well!!!! Guess what,
her wedding dress was an Elizabeth de Varga also.

I just wanted to say how perfect my dress was for me!  Right from the get go the staff where so patient and helpful,I was able to adjust things that I wanted on my dress like the lower back, it was so comfortable and I felt like an absolute princess on my special day.

Thank you, the other dresses I'd seen don't even come close to the work and detail that go into de varga dresses and the fabric was beautiful!

My dress was absolutely beautiful, there was no other word to describe it.  The team at De Varga were so professional and extremly talented.  The stunning dress Tammie and her team created fo me looked like it had come straight off the runway with its elegant design and meticulous workmanship. 

Thank you sooo much for an amazing dress and in helping my wedding day be an unforgettable experience xx

When planning my perfect wedding dress I wanted a knee length cocktail dress with a bit of pink, maybe a sash.  My Mum, sister and I set out one Saturday to find ‘the dress’ .  I tried on big dresses, small dresses, white dresses and silver dresses.  We were exhausted, but I wanted to go to one more shop – Elizabeth de Varga, because you only get to be a princess once.  Heidi bought out a few dresses, which were lovely but not ‘the one’.  Then she said – now I know this might be a bit bigger than you were thinking, but just try this one on.  And then handed me Sophia Rose.  It was love at first sight!  My Mum and sister burst into tears and I knew Sophia Rose was ‘the one’.

Heidi explained the process, took my measurements and it was as easy as that.  The fittings were made fun, the girls were lovely and really make you feel like a princess.  They make your wedding dress experience very personal and you can tell they put their hearts into making these gorgeous creations.

Then the day comes when you get to pick up your dress (which is almost as exciting as your wedding day), the ladies explain everything – we had a destination wedding so they showed me how to steam my dress after travel, they steamed my Mums veil (my something old) and made sure everything was save and protected for travel.

On the day, when I walked down the isle there wasn’t a dry eye around.  Even the wedding coordinator and the resort staff were emotional.

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who helped to make my amazing dress and gave me an experience I will always cherish.

Megan Smith

I just wanted to thank both yourself and Tammy again for all the work that you put into making my dress simply amazing.  The whole experience from the first day that I walked into your store was fantastic and allowed me to really enjoy the experience.

The end result was better than I could have hoped for and to say that I loved my dress would be an understatement.  The dress that you had made for Bella was incredible and she looked just gorgeous in it on the day.

Also a special thanks to you both for personally making my accessories....the jewellery and the clutch bag are something that I will keep forever and they make me smile every time I look at them.
 
Thanks to you both for making this an amazing journey for me.  I hope you enjoy the photos.

Annabelle

Hello my name is Annabelle, and the STAFF at Elizabeth De Varga are responsible for making my wedding day so special.

They took all of the stress out of finding the right wedding dress just for me. With each dress I tried on they were honest and suggested various changes here and there to help me create my ideal wedding dress.

They designed and created my bridesmaid’s dresses and my mum’s dress from photos, and our ideas.  I longed to have some delicate beading on my bridesmaid’s dresses but was unsure how to do it. The staff offered me multiple suggestions and through a process of elimination, we were able to choose a delicate lace and beadwork belt that matched my dress beautifully.

The staff always explained the best way to incorporate our ideas into the design.  All of the dress fittings were times of great joy and excitement, because we were delighted with the progress of our creations.

The whole process was about fulfilling our dreams for my special day, and the result was magical. 

Thank you for making my husband lost for words.

Thank you Elizabeth de Varga, may you continue to make brides happy for many many years to come!
