| Perfect wedding dress |  |
I cannot recommend Ellie's shop highly enough. Every visit was a wonderful experience with such friendly and helpful staff. We were made to feel really welcome and Ellie and the girls all really care about finding your dream dress and will not let you leave until every aspect of the fit is perfect. I also bought my veil, tiara and all my jewellry from Ellie's shop and it was all beautiful.
The shop was recommended to me by a friend and I have already sent two friends there who have found their perfect dresses.
Thank you all so much, I'm so glad I found you!
Love Jo |

| Amazing | |
| Ellie Sanderson is a fantastic place to look and purchase your wedding dress. The girls are all highly trained, listen to your ideas and provide solutions if the style you wants isn't quite right for your shape. They want you to find the perfect dress and the service the whole way through was brilliant. I am sad that my wedding is now over and that I can't see the girls! I shall find a reason to pop in! Absolutely brilliant, you must visit!!! |

| The only place to buy a wedding dress.... | |
I'll start by saying that 5 Stars isn't enough for the Ellie Sanderson Bridal Boutique. I had a week of intensive shopping for my wedding dress and spent much of that time at the boutiques in London which was a complete waste of time. From the moment I walked in to Ellie Sanderson my mum and I were treated like friends. The shop itself is gorgeous and with a huge range of gowns. I specifically wanted a dress that had shoulders and Ruth found the perfect dress for me without trying to convince me to add shoulders to a strapless dress which looks awful. I was very unsure about a veil, but agreed that I should at least try one on as it's part of the dress experience and from the moment I put the veil on I knew I'd found exactly what I wanted to wear to my wedding. As I left the shop I was hugged at the door, and at every appointment I was greeted as a friend!
Ellie and her team are amazing, I can't speak highly enough about them. This is the place you want to buy your dress from as it will enhance your wedding dress shopping experience. |

| A fabulous experience! | |
| Ellie and Ruth provided everything I needed for a fabulous outfit. They made the whole experience magical, so I didn't bother going anywhere else. Totally personal service and they made me feel really special. Good constructive advice too. And I only had 10 weeks from my first visit to leaving for my wedding! |

| What a Perfect Wedding Experiance! | |
What can I say about Ellie Sanderson and her team at her bridal shop in Beaconsfield? Well they were perfect! from the moment I saw the dress I wanted in a magazine I knew it was right for me, and Ellie Sanderson's was the closet shop to Milton Keynes to have it in stock. I contacted Ellie straight away and organised an appointment to go and try it on. there contact whether by phone or e mail is impeccable, always providing as much information as possible and fitting in with your needs, and my madly busy schedule.
The day came when I went to try the dress on and I was blown away by my first visit, the shop is located in a beautiful little town, making it already feel romantic before you have even stepped in.
The shop is romantically decorated with gorgeous gowns surrounding you. I was normally the only one in the store so felt very relaxed and like I had the time to really make the right choices.
you really feel like you have a little wedding dress family when you decide to purchase your gown here. Ellie kept me informed of all special offers i could benefit from, she let me know as soon as my dress arrived and the fittings were a wonderful experience.
When the day came to pick up my dress and leave Ellie and her staff behind I can honestly say I was very sad that the experience was over.
My dress was perfect, Ellie and her team are wonderful, the range of dresses are bedazzling.
i would not hesitate one bit on recommending this little treasure to anyone!!! |

| Just fantastic | |
I went to a number of wedding shops both in London an Buckinghamshire and cannot recommend Ellie and her wonderful team enough.
In many other shops I found them rude, pushy and aggressive and here it is the total opposite!The service in impeccable - there is no pressure, you are never rushed and more then anything, they are making the experience of buying a wedding dress absolutely brilliant.I can't imagine going anywhere better. |

| Beautiful | |
| In one phone call I found myself with a same day appointment trying on my beautiful Stephanie Allin gown. The service was fantastic and the shop was wonderful. The girls were extremely helpful and honest in advising me on the dresses that would realistically suit my petite 5ft frame. They also recommended a local dressmaker who had quite a job virtually re-making the dress of my dreams so it fit to perfection (they took it down four sizes). The whole process felt very special from start to finish and I couldn't have asked for anything more. |

| The most amazing bridal boutique | |
Ellie Sanderson is a fantastic place to find your dream wedding dress. I received great personal customer service from Ellie and the girls, and nothing I asked for was too much for them (and I asked for a lot!). Ellie really knows her stuff about all things bridal, and so she made me feel really confident about the choices I made.
I also purchased my shoes, veil, hair piece and a few pieces of jewellery from this wonderful boutique, so it really is a place to go for everything.
I would highly recommend a visit to Ellie Sanderson if you are looking for a gorgeous, sophisticated wedding gown and an amazing experience with that 'personal touch' in the run up to the best day of your life. |

| I thank my lucky stars....... | |
I thank my lucky stars that I happened upon Ellie Sanderson whilst tracking down Kate Sherford gowns. Ellie, her shop and her staff were the saving grace in what had been a very disappointing dress hunt experience across Herts/Beds/Bucks/London.
Ellie led me to Sassi Holford gowns, and effortlessy chic, graceful, wonderful soirees at her shop, where I chose my tiara and jewellery from a beautiful collection. No hard sell, just an infectious desire to make sure brides have a wonderful time and beautiful accessories complimenting the shop gowns. So much enthusiasm, fun, warmth, great service and professional attention you will NOT get anywhere else. So much patience whilst I dithered over details on my gown !
Who cares that I expanded my budget ! I miss my trips there but it holds very special memories.

| Ellie Sanderson - Beaconsfield - FABULOUS | |
| I cannot praise the girls and service I received at Ellie Sanderson enough. As a little girl it was the one shop that made me stop and look in the window and they did not let me down. The first dress shop I went to I was nervous about what to expect but Ellie and her team put me at my ease immediately. She was completely open to me 'choosing' what I wanted to try but also 'chose' the dresses she knew I would look great in - I left with a warm and fuzzy glow that you only get when you know you have found the one. I tried other shops before going back, but aside from falling in love with my dress, I fell in love with the shop and Ellie (strange after just one meeting)!! Having chosen my dress everything ran so smoothly - I comletely trusted that it would be perfect, on time and without any drama. I KNEW they would get it right. If you want an added treat on your day splash out on 'Dress the Bride'. Its an extra cost but Ellie came to my house on the morning of the wedding steamed all the dresses (Bridesmaids as well) and took all the pressure out of getting dressed. I knew the dress would look as good as it could because Ellie was putting it on - I did not have to worry - it was great. Seriously ladies - I really cannot recommend Ellie Sanderson enough!! |

I just wanted to praise Ellie Sanderson Bridal Boutique for making the experience of buying my wedding dress so enjoyable.
I absolutely loved my Stuart Parvin dress and felt like so confident and calm for the day because I knew I looked amazing. My mum and I went to several other wedding shops in the aera in my quest to find the perfect wedding dress but none came close to Ellie Sanderson in terms of the personal, caring and professional approach and the choice of gorgeous dresses.
I would like to thank Ellie and Ruth for their care and humour and for making the experience a magical one. |

| The best wedding dress experience | |
| Ellie and her team are amazing. It was an absolute pleasure from the moment I arrived. They did an amazing job with my dress and for that I will be eternally grateful. Highly recommended for the discerning bride. |

| The Best Wedding Dress Shop EVER! | |
Ellie makes choosing a wedding the most fantastic experience. Her selection of gowns is second to none, Ellie Sanderson was the first shop I went into and I knew I did not need to go any further. I had been to other wedding shops with friends and no shop even came close to the service that Ellie provides. This service goes on after you have made your purchase and you truly feel like you are the only bride in the world!
I couldn't recommend Ellie more highly, in fact several friends of mine went to see her after I had been and they all agree with me - you would be making a HUGE mistake if you did not get your dress from Ellie!

| Excellence | |
| I used Ellie Sandersons Bridal Shop for my wedding in Oct 2008 and I would highly recommend her. Ellie Sanderson offers an extremely professional, unique yet friendly service . Her dresses are by far and wide the most exqusite and stunning designs around. Her shop is beautiful and her staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. You would be a fool to buy from any other shop other than Ellie's |

| Amazing!! | |
| My sister and I were both getting married last year (only two months apart) and she convinced me to come to this boutique near her home in Beaconsfield to try dresses on. I had absolutely no clue what type of gown I wanted and to be honest I thought the idea of a boutique sounded quite snobbish. Going to Ellie's was the best thing I ever did, she was so wonderful and I felt at home with her straight away. She definitely knows what styles are more flattering for every shape and she picked the perfect gown for me straight away! There was no pressure put on me to make a purchase however, in fact she even encouraged us to look elsewhere to compare designs and prices,which we did. The quality of Ellie's dresses and service became even more obvious. To say that she doesn't accomodate for curvier ladies is ridiculous as my sister was 8months pregnant by the time she got married and her dress had to be resized every step of the way! Buying a wedding dress is quite a tough thing to do and can be quite emotional but Ellie made the process a breeze and very fun. Her personal service makes you feel like you are the only bride in the world. She is truly dedicated to each and every one of her customers! |

| Great Service | |
I would recommend this shop so highly. My mum and I went here for the first time last year in September and I fell in love with a gown. I then tried on loads of dresses elsewhere which made me realise what a little gem this shop is. The dresses are brilliant and so clean compared to other shops I visited. I have been back twice and the ladies who work there have been so patient with me. Today I finally made my decision and bought my dress and I feel so happy it is from this shop as I know that I will be well looked after. I know the advice I was given was impartial as the gown Ellie said was right for me was a little cheaper than my other favourite, real honest advice is just what you need when choosing your dress.
Cant recommend it enough, I am also really surprised by the comment posted below as I am a size 18 and was treated like a princess by all the girls in this shop....

| Panic over! | |
| I already had a dress, however after trying it on again at home I decided it wasn't the one for me. Nightmare! My wedding is only 3 months away so it was time to hunt for a new dress. I called Ellie Sanderson and explained my situation and from that moment on i knew I was in good hands. Ellie was very sympathetic to my situation and even though she was fully booked she managed to accomodate me and I made an appointment that weekend. I was pleasantly suprised to find that they only allow one bride at a time... so it was all about me! Both Ellie and Ruth made me feel very welcome and they were very helpful and honest about which dress was the one for me. Even though I was under pressure to find a new dress (and panicking!), Ellie reassured me and went the extra mile to make sure I could get my dress on time. I have since been back for another appointment and ordered my new wedding dress ... which is beautiful! If you want to be made to feel special and well looked after then Ellie Sanderson is the place to go! |

| not true | |
I am shocked to hear these comments, I went to this shop, and I am a size 16. I was treated wonderfully by the owner Ellie. I have been back four times and just bought my gown this weekend. Her manner was sensitive to my size and she really helped me pick out a great dress. The other lady there was also helpful. The gowns are not cheap but it is a designer wedding shop so I didnt expect them to be cheap.
Personally having been in here four times I really feel these comments are made up or malicious . |

| Shocked |  |
I am really shocked at the review written by RD as didn't experience this at all but am quite an average bride.
I also went in a number of shops in the Bucks area and received great service in all of them including Ellie Sanderson. When i went in I had the shop to myself and both members of staffs full attention.
They were so patient as I tried dress after dress, including all the accessories.
I didn't buy my dress from here and have to agree some of the accessories were over priced and I managed to find everything elsewhere cheaper but overall a lovely little shop, with a classy range of dresses to suit most people, worth a look x |

| Not for curvy brides | |
I visited almost ten Bridal gown shops in the search to find my dream dress, across Bucks, Surrey and Herts, and by far received the worse service in this boutique.
I am, quite happily by my own admission, a curvy bride, and have struggled to squeeze into some of the smaller shop samples. I didn't mind this however elsewhere, as the assistants have been good humoured and helpful, and this takes the embarrassment out of the situation.
Not so at Ellie Sanderson. I was made to feel unwelcome, and quite frankly unwanted as I wasn't a classic size ten to try dresses on. In the first two minutes of speaking to me, the owner of the boutique who was serving me said that they don't normally serve girls like me, and she would try and squeeze me into something, but obviously it wouldn't look right. The comments didn't get any better from there on in.
Looking at the stock, in particular the accessories, I thought it was overpriced and the service was atrocious. I wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone. |
