Best Designer (Browns Bride) |
|
 Browns Bride in London offers a dress shopping experience that's second to none. This is where you'll find all the top designer names, such as Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier and Alexander McQueen as well as lots of gorgeous accessories. It's a must for any bride who loves high fashion and isn't on a tight budget. |
| |
If you are looking for a designer wedding dress then my recommendation is Browns Bride. Don’t let the fact that the shop is in swanky Mayfair or that you have to make an appointment put you off, the assistants are knowledgeable, helpful and not at all snooty!
Browns Bride is the brainchild of the delightful Caroline Collis, daughter of the world-renowned Mrs Burstein who owns the trendsetting Browns boutique in South Molton Street – so high fashion and an eye for design certainly run in the family.
|
Traditonal and Modern |
 The shop has something for every type of bride whether you want traditional or contemporary. Not all the dresses have been designed as wedding gowns but with Caroline’s expert eye, she has chosen styles that are perfect for the more modern wedding. The changing rooms are spacious and you get as much time as you need to try on whatever takes your fancy.
To complete the shopping experience, Browns Bride also stocks a great range of bridal accessories, many of which you can buy online. There are to-die-for shoes from Christian Louboutin and bags from Lulu Guinness plus the prettiest tiaras and headdresses.
And anyone looking for a bargain, and who is a size 8-12, regularly check the website for details of the sample sales where you can save 30-60%.

| As Dolly Jones from Vogue.com says “If Browns Bride continues doing this then the UK’s marriage rate is going to go through the roof as we all get married again and again for the chance to wear the new dresses.” |
