Wedding & Formal Dress Fitting Tips From Belle

We want to help you make the most of your wedding dress fitting, bridal party fitting or formal dress shopping experience at Belles & Brides. Here are a few tips to help you prepare yourself, your friends, family or significant others who may want to join you.

  1. Come prepared: You'll need to know your event date, sizing, budget and style ideas when you book.
  2. Bring photos: Show us your inspiration, your dress dreams, venue, or even accessories. This will help us understand your vision.
  3. Keep it simple: Bring no more than three guests for a relaxed vibe (trust us, it's easier to focus on what you want this way).
  4. Dress comfortably: Neutral undergarments similar to what you'll wear on the big day are perfect.
  5. Be fresh: A quick shower and a touch of light makeup (or none) helps keep our gowns looking pristine.
  6. Punctuality, please: Arrive on time, and if you're running late, give us a quick call so we can adjust. If you do arrive early, we kindly ask that you wait patiently in our waiting area rather than browsing the racks, so we don't interrupt the appointment already underway.

We're more than just a dress shop, we're a family who genuinely cares about making you feel amazing. Come visit us and let's find your perfect dress. We can't wait to meet you!

Before You Book

We're a family-owned boutique tucked into Redcliffe on the Moreton Bay Peninsula – about 40 minutes from Brisbane and just 25 minutes from Brisbane Airport, with free parking right out the front.

Inside, you'll find bridal gowns from $500 up to $4,000, with most brides finding their dress somewhere between $1,800 and $3,000. Every fitting is a relaxed, one-on-one 90-minute appointment, with room for up to three of your favourite people to share the moment with you.

Our Story

Belle Challis – Owner

Redcliffe's destination for Wedding & Formal Wear

Belles and Brides has been part of the Redcliffe Peninsula's story for over 30 years, helping brides, grooms, and school formal attendees find their dream outfits for life's most memorable moments.

Originally established as Andrea's Brides and Grooms in an arcade at Redcliffe, before moving to Anzac Avenue several years later, the boutique built a strong reputation for its elegant gowns, formal wear, and personalised service. Later rebranded as Brides and Reflections, the store continued to serve as a trusted destination for weddings and formal occasions, loved by locals and visitors alike.

Now in its third chapter, Belles and Brides is owned and operated by Redcliffe local Belle Challis. As a mother of two and wife of a veteran, Belle is deeply connected to the community and passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for her clients. At Belles and Brides, we offer a carefully curated selection of bridal gowns, formal wear, and accessories, catering to brides, their entourages, and school formal attendees from Redcliffe, Brisbane, and beyond.

Our boutique provides “Say Yes to the Dress”-inspired appointments, where the store is dedicated solely to each guest and her entourage. This exclusive, one-on-one experience ensures every bride feels special, supported, and celebrated while finding the perfect gown for her big day.

We are proud to be part of the vibrant Redcliffe community, supporting other local businesses and celebrating the beauty of the Moreton Bay region. At the same time, we warmly welcome clients from Brisbane and across South-East Queensland to visit our boutique and make a day of it on the stunning Redcliffe Peninsula.

At Belles and Brides, we combine decades of tradition with a fresh, modern approach, helping you look and feel your best for life's most important celebrations. Whether it's your wedding day or your school formal, we're here to make your dreams a reality.

This is just a small taste of what's in store – we have a much larger range of styles in the boutique, so if you don't spot 'the one' online, there's a good chance we have it waiting for you in person.
