Soon-to-be wed couple Pippa Middleton and fiance James Matthews were all smiles as they prepared for married life - by visiting a flooring shop.

The pair, set to wed in what has been branded the Wedding of the Year, were pictured leaving the high-end Siberian Flooring store in Fulham Road, London yesterday.

Pippa styled herself in a maroon coat and beanie whilst James was left to push her vintage bicycle.

They were seen leaving the store at around 8pm last night.

Pippa, 33, will marry her hedge-fund beau, 41, on May 20 at St Mark’s Church in Englefield, near the Middleton's £4.7million mansion in Berkshire.

Prince George, Pippa's nephew, is tipped to be a page boy and her niece Princess Charlotte, who will have just turned two, a flower girl.

The Duchess of Cambridge's little sister shot to public attention when she wore a bottom-hugging bridesmaid's dress at the royal wedding in 2011.

James, older brother of Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, is the CEO of Eden Rock capital management which he co-founded with his friend and business partner Edward Horner.

Before entering the world of finance, he was educated at Uppingham and was a racing driver.

Recently, he has helped set up ‘Eden Being’ with Oetker hotels; they aim to sell luxury products inspired by grand hotels. 

Spencer is set to be best man at the lavish ceremony.

Although smaller than sister Kate’s 1,900-strong service at Westminster Abbey in 2011, it will undoubtedly be a large affair, with between 350 and 400 guests. 

Those who make the cut, according to one family acquaintance, will be 'her Edinburgh Castle crew meets Made In Chelsea'. 

Pippa popped some luxurious ‘Save the Date’ cards inside her Christmas cards. 

Her engagement ring — a whopping four-carat, Asscher-cut diamond in an octagonal halo, estimated to cost £250,000 — came from the discreet Chelsea jewellers Robinson Pelham.

Designer Giles Deacon is expected to design the dress after he was spotted visiting Pippa and mum Carole at home before Christmas.

After the ceremony, guests will head to a large marquee in the Middleton family home.
