Another day, another bridal shop. Today we visited Knightsbridge as Lisa had an appointment with our next bridal boutique. Firstly we made a few important stops along the way for me - Jimmy Choo and Agent Provocatuer - and then a quick tour of the Harrods food hall before arriving at at Caroline Castigliano.
The experience at Caroline's boutique was on a whole other level than yesterday. We had champage on arrival and then the sales manager spent time with Lisa talking through the wedding, her ideas and, of course, the perfect dress. We saw some absolutely beautiful dresses -and in this shop I can definitely see how more money equals high quality fabrics, design quality, cut and finished product - the dresses were simply exquisite. And, as you would expect there was a price tag to match. Dresses were upwards of $3000 (pounds!) - Yikes!!
To bring us back to reality we had a bit of a browse in The Gap and Zara before heading to the much more affordable Pronuptia's at Chancery Lane. This dress business is a much more challenging task than it originally appeared to be! We made a quick stop at Tesco's on the way home and I made Minestrone soup for dinner (perfect for the wet, cold, miserable London day that it was). We are now packing for our trip to Manchester tomorrow. C'mon Broncos!
