Karen saved me! I went to Pearls and Roses after receiving my wedding dress from somewhere else. Karen squeezed me in for an appointment and ensured me she would fix my dress. She was calm, supportive and talked me through the whole process. Karen and her amazing team worked wonders on my dress and made many changes until I was happy and comfortable. I am so grateful for Karen's expertise - she is beyond amazing!

As soon as I met Karen I knew she was the person to make my dress for my sons wedding. She was so fabulous to work with, nothing was too much trouble. And my dress was EXACTLY what I had pictured. Don't bother going elsewhere. Karen's attention to detail is incredible.I had so many compliments on the day and it was a dream to wear. I wish I had saved my feet and gone straight to Pearls and Roses. Thank you Karen.

I can’t recommend Pearl bridal enough! All the ladies there were so professional, friendly and patient. I went back 3 times before I said yes to my dress, and they were just as patient and lovely with me each time. I was so so happy with my dress, it was such a dream to be able to find my perfect dress at such an amazing store.

Karen was amazing when altering my wedding dress bought at a seperate store. Karen was easy to book in with, was very knowledgeable in the alterations appointment and quoted the job very reasonably. Part of my alterations was a redesign of the bodice to take away the sleeve design, this was a tricky job but Karen made it look easy and the final product is seamless. Thanks so much Pearls and Roses!

I had a wedding dress altered at Pearls and Roses and it was such a great experience, I can't recommend them highly enough. It was such an easy process, Karen was able to quickly see all the details that needed to be added or changed to make the dress fit to perfection, as well as enhancing the overall look of the dress. The team there were all kind and professional from start to finish.

I am so glad I made the trip to Geelong from Melbourne to try on a dress I saw on the web site from Pearls and Roses Bridal. Karen was so helpful and was able to fit the perfect dress along with earrings and bag to complete my Mother of The Groom outfit. Karen gave me her undivided attention and had a lovely space to try on my outfit. Thank you for stocking beautiful dresses.

Wow, what can I say…I can’t speak more highly of Karen and her amazing team. I found an incredible pink bridal coat online, but being from an international Haute Couture designer it was not within our budget. I took the picture of the coat to Karen as inspiration and she was able to recreate it for me exactly, in my opinion far better than the original version. She absolutely exceeded my expectations and created the most amazing, jaw dropping piece. From the moment I met her she was incredibly kind and accomodating, making the whole process extremely special and fun! She is truly talented at her craft, extremely hard working and I couldn’t recommend her more. A massive thank you again to Karen and her team, what an unforgettable experience, one I will cherish forever!

I can’t even find the right words on how thankful I am to Karen and her team for doing the alterations on my wedding dress.After an awful experience with another bridal shop, Karen turned it all around and just made a brand new bridal experience for me. Karen assured me that they can do the alterations that I wanted and yes, they delivered (and more!!!). They did a ton of work with my dress and it looked like a brand new dress that was tailored for me! It is so beautiful and comfortable. 🧡Special thanks to Lilly and Milli for looking after me 🧡

Exceptional service by Karen & her staff with helping me with my Mother of the Bride dress. I knew I wanted Navy but hit a wall. I had been to several stores in the Geelong area & about 10 or so in Melbourne & surrounds.I chose an Anthea Crawford navy dress off her rack. I loved the style but it was firm in areas & it felt a bit corporate.Karen was able to sorce the exact fabric & extend the firm parts with gussets & made the most beautiful cascade flowing belt which looked a part of the original dress, which took it from plain to winner!Karen was patient & helpful allowing me to suggest ideas & she would sketch it up.Very happy with my dress & I felt so comfortable on my daughters wedding day with the look & the perfect fit.Thank you!

Friendly girl working. Came for a garter, only two to choose from. Both very similar. Got one, however I don't know if that's really the style I was after. Not to worry though. I could gift it to another friend if I don't use that one.I've forever looked at the window of this shop and imagined what it would be like inside. It looked like they had plenty of dresses to choose from and a small dressing room with enough space for just one bride. Very pretty dresses in the window always.

Karen was absolutely wonderful in ensuring my dress was adjusted to fit me perfectly on my wedding day. I gave Karen and her team a pretty tight turnaround thanks to a bout of covid delaying my plans but she didn't miss a beat in promising it would be back with me one week after the fitting and one week before my big day. Karen's passion for what she does and her love for the brides she supports is evident from the first sentence she speaks. I was so glad I asked for her help and if I didn't already have my dress I would have not hesitated to ask Karen to design one just for me. Her designs are beautiful and her attention to detail is exceptional. Thanks Karen, and extra thanks for the hairpiece, earrings and purse. Our day was amazing and everything came together so well.

It's hard to put into words how wonderful my experience was at Pearls and Roses! With my wedding in just under 6 weeks - I called Karen, came in that day, 16 weeks pregnant with twins. She was so lovely and warm from the very beginning, and really listened and understood what I was looking for. I thought I would need to buy off the rack given the timing, but with timing aligning in her schedule, she was able to fit a custom gown in for me. Her amazing talent saw the gown come together beautifully and exactly how I envisioned it every fitting, while accommodating the fast growing bump! The final product was everything I hoped for and more, and I will be recommending anyone looking for a wedding gown to Karen. Not only is she incredibly skilled, she connects with her customers and makes you feel at complete ease throughout the entire process. Thank you Karen for making my dress wedding dress!

Being a size 26 I was very nervous about undressing in front anyone but Karen made me feel special, she made my mother of the groom outfit, even hand dying the lace to get the colour I wanted, on the day of the wedding I felt like a million dollars. The compliments I received was amazing, I can’t thank Karen and her team enough❤️

Karen is an absolute delight to deal with. I was recommended to her by Kayla at Ivory Bride. Karen was easy to talk too, helpful with booking and even has some artistic ideas for what she could do with the scraps of my wedding dress.

Karen and the team are like magicians. I had two delicate dresses that I absolutely love but didn’t fit my petite frame. Rather than returning them, I decided to take them to Pearls and Roses to see whether they could alter the dresses whilst maintaining their original look. To my absolute delight I have these two perfect dresses tailored to my size and flawless- you cannot tell they’ve been altered. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome.Karen is extremely talented and a master of her craft. Her attention to detail is incredible and she makes the entire experience fun and engaging. Karen takes the time to know her clients, understand their needs, whilst giving her honest opinions along the way as she makes the seemingly impossible, possible. Thank you!

I am grateful to have worked with Karen and her team to create my custom wedding gown. I was so pleased with the end result, and had a multitude of compliments on the details and design she managed to create.I had ideas of what I wanted, however due to restrictions, had limited opportunity to try and on styles to confirm this. It wasn’t until I met with Karen that I really got a picture of how these ideas could come together, and I fell in love with the design we were working towards.Karen was able to work with me at multiple stages of bringing the dress together and help me problem solve through the process. She has an extremely talented team with a fine attention to detail.I was overwhelmed by the end result, and thankful to have her help throughout the process.

Took my wedding gown here very last minute and they were amazing! After giving birth four months prior and having last minute emergency surgery the week before, I was not looking forward to putting on a wedding dress.. Karen made me feel so comfortable in my dress and was so lovely to deal with. Not only was my dress altered in such a short time frame, but it also fit me perfectly! Would highly recommend!!

Karen and her team are amazing at what they do! From the moment I walked in the door I knew I was in great hands. I was slightly nervous that the lace wouldn’t align after the alterations but you couldn’t even tell the dress had been touched! Even my 92 year old grandmother who was a dressmaker could only praise such talented work. I would highly recommend Pearls and Roses to anyone. Thanks Karen and team x

From the moment you meet Karen, you feel a sense of calm, ease and that you're in the greatest of hands.Karen altered my wedding dress and was not only professional and prompt but she exceeded my expectations as far as quality delivered and timing. Karen you were an absolute breath of fresh air. Getting married in a pandemic has additional challenges and you are one supplier who has effectively communicated and showed genuine empathy. You are a beautiful soul and a talented seamstress. Thank you for being so wonderful.
