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

Worst customer service!!…read more My friend ordered a dress made to measure from this boutique. She ordered the dress 7weeks in advance and was told it will be ready in time. When we went to the shop the man who owns the shop showed us the dress which was the same dress she saw on the mannequin 7weeks ago. The dress had marks and few beading missing. The dress which she wanted hadn't arrived and the owner lied saying the dress in front of us was the new one she ordered. The owner lied so much he had no idea after a while what he was saying. The owner is the rudest person I have come across screaming at the customers. Customers needs did not come first. Owner didn't want to listen to the customer and lied over and over again!! Do NOT shop from this boutique. You won't get what you pay for. BEWARE!!

What a fabulous bridal shop! This has to be the best bridal shop that I visited in Northamptonshire…read more(and believe me I visited lots)! 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.

I live in Los Angeles and was marrying someone who's family is from Pakistan. With the desire to…read moreincorporate some of his traditions, I sought a dressmaker who is familiar with the culture. I looked around for in-person shops here in Los Angeles, but knew nothing could be as good as getting a dress made in Pakistan. I chose a deep red, fully beaded dress. The process was pretty easy. I took my measurements, and they sent me a "dummy" dress. This way, you can make any changes before the final dress is cut. And it's an important part of the process for me as I was unable to try on a dress in person. Communication via WhatsApp was great. They were always willing to work with my requests. They even made a red dupatta, that matched my dress, for my maid of honor at the last minute so she stood out. I received so many compliments about this dress. The dupatta was amazingly beautiful. It is truly a work of art. And well worth the money. Great prices, great process, and lots of variety to choose from. I will say, the dress was very heavy, but I was able to manage myself in it. I'm taller and the weight was manageable. Well worth it!!

The only person to see my wedding dress from the day it arrived to the actual big day was my mom…read more Unfortunately my mom lives quite far away from me so my mother-in-law to be (who lives a lot nearer) kindly offered to let me keep the dress at her house, with the promise that she wouldn't take a peek. All was going well until I realised the dress was fairly creased and I needed to get it steamed only 2 weeks before the big day! The ladies at Wedding Belles were brilliant. They totally understood my situation and promised to keep the dress under lock and key. As my mother-in-law elect lived so locally they even offered to collect and drop off the dress. As I was at work I had total faith in the ladies and my mother-in-law to be. They only had the dress for a couple of days and when they returned it they had added in a shape keeper for the top half of the dress (as it was an off the shoulder piece) and they had packed it so even the shape couldn't have been seen. I have already recommended a friend do the same for her dress and I say the same to you. They really did surpass my expectations and for a reasonable price too!

I was recruited to help with THE WEDDING DRESS!!! What a job, what a responsibility! I had no confidence in my ability whatsoever, what do I know about wedding dresses? My research began with a trip to Wedding Belles. Here, I met two fabulous ladies who immediately put me at ease with my task and convinced me rather than a punishment, this was a privilege. We set about the amazing selection of bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, tiara's, veils and so, SO much more. I had given myself an hour, just to make some initial enquiries, I was still there after two hours, I had become engrossed in bridal wear, even excited. This was due to the fabulous knowledge and customer service I received. I can't wait to go back with the bride to be.

The solution (amazing) buy a hand made dress on the internet and then take it to a local pro to finish the sizing perfectly and deliver the finished dress.

While the initial purchase went smoothly, the alteration process was handled poorly, which…read moreultimately left me disappointed in my experience at Brides of Solihull. I purchased my gown in August 2024, and the alterations--specifically around the bust--were carried out between July and September 2025 by Barbara Aranguiz of Aranguiz London, as recommended by the shop. I picked up the dress on September 10 with the understanding that all alterations had been completed to the specifications agreed with Barbara, which included securely sewing in bra cups. However, I only discovered on the morning of my wedding that the cups had been merely tacked in rather than properly sewn, resulting in a noticeably gaping fit in person and in my photos. I returned to the shop on September 15, the first business day after my wedding, to address the issue. The process was frustrating--I felt brushed off by staff, particularly the manager and owner, who did not seem to take my concerns seriously or work to resolve the matter promptly. It took multiple calls and several visits before I finally received a refund for the alteration work. During this process, I spoke directly with Barbara, who acknowledged to me that the cups had not been sewn in properly. This situation caused a great deal of unnecessary stress and disappointment during what should have been a joyful and memorable time. Given the cost and significance of a wedding gown, I expected much better quality, professionalism, and care. I would strongly caution other brides to look elsewhere for alterations.

AVOID this shop at all cost. Their business is extremely dodgy... they still keep records in…read morenotebooks not anything legal. Not surprised since they're a bunch of pensioners doing this as a side gig and are being paid cash in hand. ALTERATIONS = DAMAGING of gorgeous dresses. The seamstress they are working with, Barbara, hasn't got a clue about anything. She is not even using a measuring tape... if you want to avoid VERY UNPLEASANT surprises with the most important item of your day don't go there. Every time I flagged a fault the reply was :"don't worry, babe, it gets sorted once pressed" there was simply no talking to her. Feel so gutted with the whole thing... my wedding is next week and I need to find a way to sort things out. What I bought as a £1500 brand new dress, now looks like something from a charity shop.
