For my 2nd full day in London I met up with my friend Kris and her 2 daughters. Daughter number 1 (Ella) is getting married in September, so we went to a wedding fair in West Ealing to have a look around. The fair wasn't that big, but there was a fashion show with some hilarious looking dresses, including one with a sheer/see-through top with strategically placed embroidery. But we were convinced there was still some nipplage showing.
After the fair we headed into downtown London to Seven Dials market for lunch. Daughter number 2 (Katie) was eyeing up some ice-cream for dessert - but they only had soft serve, so we didn't bother.
We met up with Dann (Ella's fiance) and headed to Walker and Slater's tailor shop, which looked like something out of the movie "Kingsman". There we proceeded to have our own afternoon of "Say Yes to the Dress" (although in this case it was "Say Gut to the Suit") and had Dann model several suits, with different ties, braces, shoes, etc. It was a lot of fun and a decision was made on the perfect suit at the end of it all.
We ended up heading to the ice-cream parlour at Fortnum and Mason to celebrate the finalization of Dann's wedding outfit. Ella and Katie had not been there before, so we had to tour the whole store.
It was a wonderful day and I was so lucky to have been able to take part in some of Ella and Dann's wedding planning.
