WHALLEY-based bridal-wear business Lulu Brown’s last week held an event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the business.

Fifty guests attended the gathering at the boutique and enjoyed an afternoon tea, followed by drinks from a bespoke cocktail bar.

Owner Helen Lord, said: “We really wanted to celebrate by saying thank you to friends, family and customers – all of whom have given us wonderful support over the last ten years.

“There have been some amazing high points, like winning Best Bridal Retailer 2013, Best Bridal Retailer 2015 and Best Customer Service Award 2015 and when we relocated to purpose designed premises in 2012.

“However, I’m extremely proud of the fact that we’ve built an award winning team that has catered for over 2000 local, national and international weddings.

“Our ambition for the next ten years is to continue providing first class customer service to all our brides and if that could be recognised by another the Best Bridal Retailer in the UK and Ireland Award, I’d be extremely happy!

“We’re very aware of the privileged job we have and it goes without saying, it’s such a special time in a lady’s life and we feel honoured to be a part of it,” added Helen.

As a special thank you offer to celebrate Lulu Brown’s 10th anniversary any bride purchasing her gown before December 18th 2015 with a 2016 wedding date, will be in with the chance to win £1000 towards her dream gown. The winner will be picked at random.
