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

Hi all at Laura May. Was in last weekend and super excited…read moreas travelled up from London to watch my best friend try on dresses. Sorry to say it but was left disappointed considering I had heard good things. I was super observant while my friend tried on dresses and we went to a nearby restaurant after and we agreed it wasn't the most pleasant experience. 3 girls in at the one time was ridiculous. It was boiling in your shop and if I could feel the heat, then so could my friend who was sweltering getting changed. The assistant kept looking at her watch. It felt like she couldn't wait to get out of there or get rid of us. My friend was shocked that she had no privacy changing as she was dressed with two other staff and also in front of two other girls. She loves one of your dresses but she said she prob won't be going back again as it was like a cattle mart. I think you should review your tactics as I was up from London and you would never see three girls in a tiny space.

All of the staff made my day a perfect one! They were all attentive, there was no limit to the…read moreamount of beautiful dresses I wanted to try. The shop was amazing, and array of dresses were absolutely gorgeous. The appointment should of only been an hour and half but we were there for at least 2hours. The whole experience was fantastic and I truly felt like a princess. The only reason I did not purchase a dress was due to the fact I fell in love with a dress that was double my original budget, and I didn't want to put my parents in that position. I would DEFIANTLY recommend this store to any bride to be. However my advice is to only try dresses that are within your budget/price you are able to stretch to. To all the staff at Allison Jayne, Thank you so much for yesterday, I really appreciate everything you done for myself and my bridal party. And this was the least I could of done for all your time and effort!

Please don't go to this shop if you want a positive experience. After walking past this shop for…read moreyears as a single lady I was really looking forward to finally getting the opportunity to try on their beautiful dresses. The experience actually brought me to tears when I left. I was made to feel second best (there was another family in the shop so we were sat to the side). Every time the lady "dressing" me left the cubicle she left the curtain half open and I'm very body conscious. She suggested everything I said I didn't want and never made sure I looked ok before asking me to show my family (one dress I refused to walk out in because it was 2 sizes too small but she'd done nothing to make it look nicer or cover me up in anyway. In the end we couldn't get out of there fast enough. I was so upset about the whole experience I don't want anyone else to go through what I did that day. Please don't let them dent your confidence like they did me.

After a bit of a trip and quite a few missed exits I found the shop and... I cannot recommend it highly enough! It is an absolute treasure trove of dresses in loads of different shapes. The owner Donna couldn't have been nicer and really encouraged me to try on different things to see what I liked/disliked with no pressure or the stupid 1 hour limit which I have encountered in other wedding shops. She didn't even mind when I phaffed about looking at all the bridesmaid dresses and had said I wasn't buying until next year). The dresses are beautiful plus the prices are, well gobsmackingly cheap. This shop puts other wedding shops to shame - I just wish it was nearer Cardiff, but then I guess the prices would be a lot higher! Definitely worth the trip! p.s. am going back to pick up 'the' dress in December!!
