Testimonials

Savvy Brides were a great find. I fell in love with my dress the moment I saw it and so when I came to sell it I found such a strong emotional connection that I wanted it to be looked after and go to a great home. Mandy, was sensational at keeping me posted on when there had been viewing and took the upmost care with the dress throughout the sale process so I knew it was in good hands.  I sold the dress in less than 3 months and feel great to know that it has gone to another girl that I am sure will feel like a million dollars too on her big day.
 
Thanks once again, Mandy! I can’t recommend Savvy Brides enough to anyone that is looking to sell their dress too!

When I found my dream dress in a Sydney boutique, it came with a price tag that was out of my budget. However, I contacted Mandy and she was able to source the dress, which was in almost new condition, in just a few weeks. I only paid half the retail price and got the dress I'd always wanted. Mandy was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. I'd recommend Savvy Brides to anyone.

Savvy Brides was just what I was looking for.  Mandy was like a breath of fresh air compared to some of the assistants I met when trying on dresses in the shops.  She made me and my friends feel very welcome and was so helpful when I was choosing a dress.  Not only did I find "the" dress I was looking for, but it hasn't even been worn! An amazing concept for a business where everyone is happy.  I am already telling all my friends, thanks again.

Savvy Brides is fantastic!  In truth, I had vaguely been dreading the wedding dress hunt - sort of a cross between bikini shopping and looking for a needle in a haystack. But I was honestly amazed at how easy it was to find 'The One', and I absolutely love it. Thank you, Mandy, so much for being so friendly, flexible and understanding with each viewing. Any questions I had were readily dealt with, and you were unfailing in your warmth, openess and efficiency.  All the best for the future.

When I heard my favourite designer had closed her store weeks before my engagement, I was devastated, thinking that I'd never be able to wear my dream dress on my big day. Then by chance I stumbled across the Savvy Brides website and there it was, the dress I had always wanted to wear by the very same designer. Mandy was quick to respond to my enquiry, professional and honest, and it was almost like speaking to the dressmaker herself.

I only tried on that one dress and it was perfect, I went home with it that same day. Would I have preferred a brand new wedding dress? Not at all, my dress has a story, and Mandy just made the whole process so easy. A beautiful business by a beautiful person who makes dreams come true. Thank you so much!

In the frenetic leadup to a move overseas Savvy Brides provided it all!! The care and attention Mandy provided from the moment I walked through the door gave me such piece of mind. My dress sold after only a month (I had been trying to sell it privately for at least 6month prior to that!!) An absolute pleasure to deal all the way from HK. Thank you!!

Recently when I was beginning to lose hope of finding my dream wedding gown within budget, I came across Mandy Daddia of savvy brides: www.savvybrides.com.au and not only did I find a dress more beautiful than I dared imagine, but also at a great price. The "icing" though was Mandy; she provided such a warm, genuine and professional service that I can honestly say it was the best shopping experience I have ever had.


Savvy Brides carries a very large range of beautiful gowns from various local and International designers in excellent condition which have only been worn once before and at a fraction of the original price. Indeed, having searched for literally months for a dress I felt I could wear on our special day, I found three at Savvy Brides! I would recommend a visit to see Mandy to any and all Brides to be!

- Vanessa M, Stanmore

   

Savvy Brides is such a fantastic business idea – Mandy has hand-picked a stunning collection of designer gowns – all in top quality condition. This means that you get the benefit of having a beautiful dress at a great price.
 
Mandy is very professional, gives great style advice, has heaps of accessories to help you get the right look and is also able to accommodate appointments outside working hours and on weekends which makes finding your perfect dress so much easier.
 
If you see a dress on their website that catches your eye I would definitely recommend that you visit Savvy Brides – you won’t be disappointed.

It was the first place I went looking and didn't need to look any further - And all at a fabulous price!
 
I will be referring all my friends to Savvy Brides.

I would like to say a BIG thank you for selling my dress.

You sold it for a price I did not think I would get for it.

You kept me updated and advised when people were looking at my dress.

I want to thank you very much for all your help and professionalism.

I really wanted a recycled vintage dress for my wedding and after searching almost everywhere in Sydney, I found my dream dress at Savvy Brides. My gorgeous deco inspired dress was perfect and combined the right era with a modern sexy style. Mandy has such a great range of dresses and styles from all around the world in the one room. She has a great eye and knows instictively what dresses worked for my figure. I have recommended her to my friends for her professionalism and sense of style when they are searching for the most savvy of wedding dresses.

- Anna T, Bondi Junction

   

Thank you Mandy for all your help in finding my dream wedding dress! I would recommend Savvy Brides to any bride-to-be, I was delighted at how stylish and elegant the selection was, without the price tag. Every dress was in good condition. Lets not forget the warm and honest service. I had lots of fun choosing my dress with Mandy who had plenty of wedding tips!

- Rose M, Sydney

   

I could not be happier with the service I received from Mandy of Savvy Brides. I considered selling my dresses (I had two dresses made for my wedding but only ended up wearing one) through EBay or one of the other online stores but the thought of spending my weekends having people come over to try on the dresses and the worry that they would be damaged soon made me change my mind.
 
I am thrilled that within 3 weeks of dropping my dresses off to Savvy Brides both have sold for a price that I am extremely happy with. I have no hesitations in recommending other brides to Mandy who are looking for a fast and hassle free way of selling their wedding dress.

- Victoria T, Adelaide

   

I just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts. I am thrilled that I was able to give another bride to be a chance to enjoy the beauty of such a gorgeous dress on her special day. I was blown away by the professionalism and service I received and Mandy's genuine caring personality is just another extension of the business. The whole process was quick, convenient and I honestly could not have asked for anymore and consequently have already referred a friend. It was a pleasure, thank you.

- Hossai C, Brisbane

   

I found the Savvy Brides website purely by chance, but feel very lucky that I did. I bought my wedding dress from Savvy Brides after trying several on in the studio, and getting honest feedback on each gown. As soon as I met Mandy I felt like I was meeting an old friend - she was fun, helpful, excited for me and very professional at the same time. I ended up picking the very first dress I tried on, and feel very good that I got a gorgeous designer dress for less than half price in immaculate condition. I would recommend Mandy and Savvy Brides to anyone looking for a beautiful second hand gown for their special day.

When I got engaged, I was really keen on getting a preloved wedding dress. I had gone online to search for the perfect wedding dress but the problem was actually getting to the different places to try the dresses on.  I couldn’t find one with a central location for pre-loved wedding dresses until I chanced upon Savvy Brides online.
 
Their website is easy to use and the whole process was so simple. I organised an appointment with Mandy and went on to try on several second han dwedding dresses that were shown on her website before deciding on my purchase. Mandy was a delight to deal with and she was really helpful when it came to choosing the right style of dress for me. The process couldn't be easier and I have since recommended Savvy Brides to my colleagues and friends.

Selling my preloved second hand wedding dress was so easy! Savvy Brides were fantastic and sold my dress for such a great price! I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks again!

- Justine H, Darlinghurst

   

Finding my wedding dress through Savvy Brides was such a wonderful experience. It was fun, exciting, comfortable and so easy without any of the pressures you find in bridal shops. There were so many beautiful dresses to choose from and all in perfect condition. Mandy was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything from dress styles that would suit me to accessories and recommending tailors for basic alterations. I would highly recommend using Savvy Brides to find your second hand wedding dress if you want to have a really special and personal experience and pay so much less for it!!

- Edwina H, Sydney

   

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in finding my dream dress. I found a dress in a designer store that I loved but definitely could not afford it. I couldn't believe my luck when I found the exact dress at almost half the price from Savvy Brides! You couldn't even tell that it was a second hand wedding dress! Thanks for the great service and sound advice.

I didn't want to spend the equivalent of a small country's GDP on a dress I was going to wear once, but obviously still wanted to look beautiful and feel special!  The idea of traipsing around Sydney to look at 2nd hand dresses that may not be in the best condition once I got there, really didn't appeal.  So when I came across the website for Savvy Brides, I thought 'perfect' someone has done all that hard work for me! I had my mother and sister with me the day we visited Mandy and all three of us commented that she was the nicest person we had dealt with all day.  Mandy was friendly, honest and not at all pushy - so refreshing! They're all obviously fantastic qualities, but if she didn't have the stock to back up the smile then what was the point?  But I ended up being spoilt for choice and found 3 of the loveliest dresses I had seen during my 2 month search.  The hard part was picking just one!

I've since recommended Savvy Brides to a number of my friends who are already married and thinking about selling their preloved second hand wedding dresses, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mandy to anyone searching for that perfect preowned wedding dress at the perfect price.

- Melissa W, Dulwich Hill

   

I wasn't too sure about selling my preloved secondhand wedding dress at first, as it all seemed like too much hassle! But Savvy Brides made the whole process so easy, I felt like I didn't have to do a single thing.

My dress was picked up at a convenient time, I was constantly kept up to date about prospective buyers and I got back half my purchase price which was so much more than I expected. Plus Mandy was so lovely to deal with. I have already recommended Savvy Brides to all my friends - both buyers and sellers!

- Marlia S, Neutral Bay

   

I have searched high and low to find a preloved wedding dress shop to sell my wedding dress with no success; until I came across Savvy Brides.  Wow - your professionalism from the very start is to be highly commended and I am sure this is the reason why my dress sold so well.

I definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to sell their preloved second hand wedding dress.
 
Thank you once again for all your excellent work.

- Margaret Dowsett, Cronulla

   

I just want to thank Mandy for all her efforts in selling my second hand wedding dress. I had thought about selling my dress myself through the various online sources however as I was expecting my first baby I didn’t have the time to deal with the enquiries. I found Savvy Brides after conducting a Google search one lunchtime and am so glad I did! Mandy was always so pleasant and professional to deal with, the whole sale process was effortless, the dress was picked up at my convenience and I was constantly kept up to date on any potential buyers.
 
I would recommend Savvy Brides to anyone wishing to sell their wedding dress or those that are looking for that perfect second hand designer wedding dress for their big day.
 
Thanks again!

Looking for a wedding gown is an exciting time, but can also be a bit overwhelming!  After searching through a number of different websites I was glad to come across www.savvybrides.com.au. At my appointment I had the chance to try on several gowns.  I was delighted to find a second hand wedding dress that suited me perfectly and am looking forward to wearing.  Thank you Mandy for your friendly and helpful service.
