Jenny & Gerry's Bridal Centre
About
Overview & Vibe
Jenny & Gerry’s has been on Payneham Road in Stepney for more than 40 years, family owned, and it is built to be one stop rather than one shop: bridal gowns, bridesmaids, men’s suit hire and bespoke tailoring, and wedding invitations and signage, all in the same building. Its own summary: “a unique wedding shopping destination offering multiple services all under one roof.”
Dress Styles & Designers
Over 400 designs from Essense of Australia, Stella York, Martina Liana, All Who Wander, Sincerity Bridal and Elysee, with the EveryBody / EveryBride plus-size range and Sorella Vita for bridesmaids. It is one of the largest bridal collections in the country.
Ideal For
The bride who wants the whole party dressed in one place — gowns, bridesmaids and the men — and who would rather not drive between four shops. Also for anyone who likes to arrive prepared: the booking form asks for a link to your Pinterest board so a stylist can look through it before you get there.
The Need-to-Knows
- Five appointment types — bridal, bridesmaid, menswear, trunk show, and the Mini Luxe.
- The Mini Luxe is Thursday evenings only, two hours from 5pm, and costs $75. Every other appointment type is free.
- Saturday bridal appointments are strictly the bride plus four guests.
- Weekday slots are 9.30am, 11am, 12.30pm, 2pm and 3.30pm. Saturdays run from 9am, with eight slots through to 2.30pm.
- Open Monday to Wednesday 9.30am–5pm, Thursday until 7pm, Friday to 5pm and Saturday 9am–4pm. Appointments preferred.
- Gown prices are not published — they are quoted in store. There is a standing clearance range and an annual sample sale.
Standout Feature
Everything under one roof, with separate phone lines for each side of it — bridal, bridesmaids, Gerry’s Suit Hire, Ignition for Men and the Giftables stationery arm. Forty years of doing the whole wedding party rather than just the dress.
