A WHALLEY-based bridal wear business has won a prestigious award and has been nominated for two others.

Lulu Brown’s Bridal Boutique won the coveted Bridalwear Retailer of the Year Award for 2015 at the Great Northern Wedding Awards, which were held at the stunning wedding location of Ashfield House in Standish.

Brides and Grooms from across the UK had nominated and voted in their thousands for finalists in a range of categories, but much to the delight of owner Helen Lord, Lulu Brown’s scooped the main award.

“It’s a marvellous accolade for Lulu Brown’s and we are thrilled that we won Bridalwear Retailer of the Year Award,” said Helen.

“It’s a testament to the quality of our hand-picked bridal gowns from world renowned designers and also the commitment of our team, who are passionate about we they do. We all consider it a great privilege to play such an significant role in such an important day in lives of our clients. We go out of our way to ensure that our brides look and feel stunning,” Helen added.

Following last month’s win the business has now been nominated for two prestigious prizes at the internationally-respected Bridal Buyer Awards.

The Bridal Buyer Awards recognise excellence in all sectors of the bridal industry – from the retailers who deliver the best possible level of customer service, to the suppliers who consistently stay ahead of the game with superb, fashion-forward offerings.

“We’re finalists in the Best Retailer Customer Service and Best Bridal Retailer in England categories. It’s an honour to be considered and fingers-crossed we can surprise people and pick up another gong,” said Helen.

This year’s winners will be revealed on the 14th September at a glamorous awards night at Harrogate Bridal Show, that is set to be attended.
