About

Overview & Vibe

Brides To Be is a Somersby showroom on the Central Coast, and its difference is stated plainly: “You can come in whenever you like – appointments not necessary, you can try on whatever you like, we talk to you not judge you and deliver your dream dress no fuss with a smile.” In a category built on booked appointments, walking in and trying gowns on is genuinely unusual.

Dress Styles & Designers

117 gowns published across four labels — Stella York (79 styles), Sugar and Spice (21), Madi Lane (14) and Evie Young (3) — with a dedicated Curve Bridal selection drawn across the labels, plus mother-of-the-bride dresses and accessories. The store describes its showroom as catering “for all colours, silhouettes, shapes and sizes”.

Ideal For

The bride who does not want to book weeks ahead, or who wants to try things on without a consultation script — you can walk in on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday and try whatever you like. Also for anyone who wants the cost spelled out before they commit: this store is unusually direct about deposits, lay-by and what alterations will add.

The Need-to-Knows

Open Friday to Sunday only — Friday 10am–4pm, Saturday 10am–3pm, Sunday 10am–1pm. Closed Monday to Thursday.
A gown takes up to six months to arrive from the day it is ordered, so talk through your timeline with the consultant.
50% down to place an order, balance on pick-up. Or start a lay-by with $200 and pay fortnightly until you reach half.
Budget about 20% of the gown price for alterations — the store’s own worked example is a $1,000 gown needing about $200 of work. Alterations are not included.
Gowns are ordered to the nearest chart size, generally fitted to the waist, so a hem, a bustle and a nip at the bust are the usual work.
Bring the shoes and underwear you will wear on the day to every fitting.

Standout Feature

No appointment needed — and a gallery of nine real brides in gowns bought here, which is the most honest thing a bridal shop can publish.

Appointment Policy

No appointment is needed — "you can come in whenever you like, appointments not necessary, you can try on whatever you like".
The showroom is open Friday 10am to 4pm, Saturday 10am to 3pm and Sunday 10am to 1pm.
It is closed Monday to Thursday.
Bring the shoes and the underwear you intend to wear on the day to every fitting.
Fittings are scheduled close to the wedding — no alterations professional will start on a gown until shortly before the day.

Stella York — 79 styles published, the store's largest range.
Sugar and Spice — 21 styles published.

Dress Experience

Brides To Be describes itself as one of the leading wedding gown stores on the Central Coast, with "one of the largest ranges of bridal gowns" in the region.
Walk-ins are welcome and appointments are not required: "You can come in whenever you like — appointments not necessary, you can try on whatever you like, we talk to you not judge you and deliver your dream dress no fuss with a smile."
The store offers "a relaxed, friendly, no-pressure atmosphere for you to try on as many gowns as you want" and encourages brides to try every silhouette to see what suits them.
It publishes a gallery of nine real brides — Gabrielle, Stefanie, Alicia, Whitney, Vivian, Sophie, Sam, Sam Ford and Monica — in gowns bought from the store.
The showroom caters "for all colours, silhouettes, shapes and sizes", with a Curve Bridal selection drawn from across its labels.
