Becci, Bethan and Lisa visited this year’s Bridal Boutique Roadshow showcase in Bristol! We were able to add friendly faces to the lovely names we already know! We also got a first glimpse at the outstanding new collections including some greatly anticipated designs to be revealed officially at Harrogate Bridal show in September!

Champagne on arrival and cocktails at lunch, this was an ultimate girly day out for us! Our deputy editor Becci, spoke to designers for fresh content ideas for our wonderful readers, Bethan took lots of pics and videos to share across our site and social media and Lisa built on our already ace relationships with designers on how we can bring them closer to you all!
