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, made to order with your choice of straps, fabric and details, 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 a fitting area is dedicated solely to each guest and her entourage. This dedicated 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 community events, 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.
