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.

They just make women look like giant cupcakes, covered in lace. However these dresses are rather elegant, I would never wear one but they are nice to look at if you are one of "those" brides.

Once you get there you'll be able to choose about 5-6 different dresses and since it's a small shop, it's just you and whoever you take in the shop. The ladies there will help you get dressed, the only thing is you can't take pictures which is a shame but they'll give you all the details of the dress at the end. However if you want specifics they might not have it in stock so it's good place if you're only just stating to look for dresses!

Her collection is rather eccentric in style but very wearable and though a little more on the expensive side, worth an investment if you are looking for something with a bit of pzazz.

Silly me, not thinking to go shopping in advance, I had to find the nearest boutique to grab a dress fast. Living in the Notting Hill area has its disadvantages if you're not upper class. In a rush, I ended up purchasing a silk breasted dress for £300. It felt adorable on my skin, and I could feel the quality, but I was pretty damn sure I wasn't going to shop here again. Coco Ribbon is a lovely store, painted white with silky divine dresses, which also sells furnishings and accessories for traditional to contemporary styled homes. The customer assistance is friendly here with pretty girls smiling at you and wanting to give you a hand. The shop came to power by two young female entrepreneurs, originally PR top executives, that pulled together roughly £37,000 each from their savings. And they've made a bomb ever since, which considering the wages for the majority of Notting Hill residence is no surprise. This place is absolutely plush and therefore, only if you are willing to spend in your hundreds can you earn a Coco Ribbon item.
