I bought my wedding dress and 5 bridesmaid dresses from Village Brides and I have to say that my…read morewhole experience with them has been nothing but fantastic from start to finish. It took me a while to decide which wedding dress was for me but only because they had 4 dresses that I totally fell in love with (I wish I could have taken them all) but eventually with their help we managed to narrow it down to one and I am absolutely more than happy with my choice, it's a beautiful dress and I also saved £800 on the price so I'm extremely happy about that! Both myself and my family and my bridesmaids were treated very well, they looked after us in a way that I couldn't have asked for more from a bridal shop. In fact from my past experience they were unlike any other bridal shop we had previously visited, in a good way. I wouldn't have any reservations at all about recommending Village Brides to anyone, they made me feel very relaxed and I didn't feel I was being pushed into buying anything at all. They are lovely people and they have some truly beautiful dresses. Thank you for all your help xxx

This is a family run business which only opened about 5 years ago, but you would believe it had been open much longer due to the brilliant knowledge and customer services shown from the staff. The minute I walked into the shop I was made incredibly welcome and I was not followed around, I felt comfortable to browse the hundreds of amazing gowns at my leisure and when I did need help the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The store is elegant, modern, clean and beautifully laid out. It also stocks a huge range of gowns, accessories bridesmaid dresses, grooms outfits etc etc.

They really created a great atmosphere with the songs and the help provided by the person with the dresses, showing how they would fit better, finding solutions, and the help with pictures were really appreciated.

As she lives in Brazil I can't help too much but one of the things I have spotted here when I was planning my wedding is that it's possible to find dresses way less expensive here than in Brazil! I am sure she is not planning to visit UK so soon but I gave her some websites of gorgeous boutique to give some ideas to her upcoming big day and this one just spotted in Henley has unique dresses at their display and I believe the treatment in this shop is just spot on! As they have a range of top wedding dress designers as part of their collection it's expected to be outstanding. Jesus Peiro, Paloma Blanca, Mikaella and the classic dresses of Sassi Holford can be find in this fine boutique. They provide stunning accessories and some sale dresses that can be a good option as well if you fancy a chic and glamorous day but not spending rivers of money on it . Brides to be, just make an appointment and good luck!

I had the most amazing experience at Mirror Mirror finding my wedding dress. I came to the boutique…read morelooking for a dress last minute and feeling a bit worried I'd left it too late. Andrea (my consultant) took all my stress away from the moment I came in. We browsed the rails together and found several options - before I slipped on "the one." I have big boobs and had struggled to feel good when trying on dresses at other boutiques but Andrea helped me pick out dresses that worked for my figure and made me feel amazing. Not only did Andrea help style, she also personally altered the sample dress I tried on and it fitted like a glove in time for my August wedding! Throughout our fittings, Andrea also offered me expert advice and tips to do "on the day" to ensure I looked and felt my best coming down the aisle - such as the best way to hold my boutique, look after the dress (which I had to bring over to France) and ways to accessorise to enhance the overall look. I am so grateful she came to my rescue... thank you so much to Andrea and Mirror Mirror for such an amazing 5* experience.

The staff were helpful, professional and did not make me feel like I was being pushed to buy a gown (which I experienced in a number of other shops). Their selection of gowns is stunning, and they have some lesser stocked designers which was great for such an 'out-of-town' location. They obviously have great taste! They opened later for me to be able to have a bridesmaid fitting and as four of my bridesmaids were overseas, they ordered the dresses early enough for me to send them on so they could get them altered to fit perfectly. The seamstresses they use for alterations are reasonable and excellent. Definitely pay them a visit and make up your own mind.

I've noticed the premises is always kept clean and there's rarely any rowdy or offensive behaviour. The market has some bargains, you can find the odd great summer dress for £5. It's open every day except Mondays and Wednesdays. It gets crowded on weekends, but that's to be expected in any City shopping centre. You get the odd bird flying around, too. Also, I'm not sure what the fountain is now, there used to be a gorgeous fountain near Nandos and it's been covered over.

Living in London/Essex, and being addicted to shopping :) i was rather looking forward to going to…read morethe Center MK, having heard that it was the largest shopping center in UK or something i couldnt wait. Although i dont agree with it being the largest shopping center (it may be largest as in space taken up, but lakeside/bluewater etc are on 2 floors and i think there are more shops in these) It still was worth a visit. All the shops you would expect to find in a typical shopping center, with shops ranging for all budgets. I was slightly disappointed as i couldnt find a 'designer' shop - such as Choice/cecil gee etc like in london, but then i was looking for Ugg boots and they had an Office so i managed to get them anyway. Just thought there would be a 'higher class shop' - But then i suppose because HOF sells quite a few designers, they dont need one. A good variety of shops and Food places, clean and staff are helpful. I do find the layout slightly confusing, i have been there about 5 times now and i couldnt tell you where a certain shop was - there are loads of side alleys and different entrances etc - got a bit confusing! Also some shops are repeated (H Samuels and a sports shop etc) although apart from that it was a good day out. I like the center of the shopping center with the fountains etc, and the exhibitions they have on are great! Good entertainment always and a great day out!
