Dress Me Pretty Bridal

A Double Celebration!

Congratulations to Amy and all the fantastic team at Dress Me Pretty. They were regional finalists in the recent Wedding Industry Awards for ‘Best Bridal Retailer’ of the East Midlands . At the ceremony evening, they were delighted to receive a ‘Highly commended Bridal Retailer’ award.

Business owner Amy said, "The acknowledgement and recognition for being one of the best bridal boutiques in the Midlands is amazing and something we are super proud of. The part that means the world to us is that our brides got us there by taking time to give their feedback and vote for us."

Well done, Amy and Team. We are super proud to have you in Hinckley!

There was something else to celebrate too as the fabulous bridal wear business just had its 9th birthday!
