Ferrari Formalwear & Bridal
About
Overview & Vibe
Ferrari Formalwear & Bridal is a national formalwear group with a full bridal arm, and its bridal rooms sit in fourteen stores across five states — from Sydney’s Clarence Street to Tamworth, Ballarat and Birtinya. It is a menswear business as well as a bridal one, so most stores dress both sides of a wedding party under one roof.
Dress Styles & Designers
The bridal collection runs to 86 gowns from eight labels — Allure Bridals, Allure Romance, Allure Bridgerton, Madison James, Abella, Tina Holly, Wilderly Bridal and Tania Olsen Couture. Sheath and A-line shapes dominate, alongside ball gowns and fit-and-flare, in lace, tulle, satin and crepe.
Ideal For
A bride who wants a recognised American bridal label without travelling to a capital city — the Tamworth, Ballarat, Albury, Toowoomba, Frankston and Somersby rooms put Allure and Madison James within driving distance of regional brides. It also suits couples who would rather buy the gown and hire the suits in the same appointment.
The Need-to-Knows
Gowns are not priced online and are held at selected stores rather than every store, so call ahead to check a style is in the room you are visiting. Appointments are essential at most bridal stores and can be requested through the group’s booking page. Gowns are listed in the designers’ own numbering rather than Australian sizes — ask which Australian size a style corresponds to when you book.
Standout Feature
Reach. Very few bridal retailers in Australia carry the same designer racks in fourteen towns at once, and six of those towns have only a handful of bridal shops in total.
Appointment Policy
- Appointments are essential at the bridal stores, and can be requested through the group's booking page.
- Bridal stores are closed Monday and Sunday, and open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm.
- Store hours can vary on public holidays, so confirm before travelling.

Dress Experience
- Ferrari's bridal rooms sit inside a formalwear business, so a couple can look at gowns and at suit hire in the same visit, and most stores carry bridesmaid, debutante and formal gowns on the same floor. Appointments are essential and the rooms are closed Monday and Sunday. Gowns are described in the designers' own numbering, which runs from 0 to 30 on the labels that publish it, so ask which Australian size a style corresponds to when you book. Individual styles are held at selected stores rather than across the whole group, so it is worth naming the gown you want to try when you make the appointment.
