Owner of the boutique, and mum of three, Diana McMann says, "I'm still on cloud nine! It has been the most challenging 18 months as a small business, going through times of not knowing if we'd have a business at the end of it, to having one of our most successful years yet! I'm so proud of how we have adapted and turned these challenging times into opportunities. I'm thrilled that my team have been recognised for their continued dedication to our brides and for giving them the most amazing bridal experience. We couldn't do any of this without our brides and we are so grateful of their support too. It's an honour to be a part of their special day and it's so heart warming to see wedding days now going ahead and the wedding industry getting back on it's feet. I can't wait for an exciting year ahead, which will see us open an additional fitting room, allowing us to help even more brides on their bridal journey."

The boutique now goes on to compete in the National Finals, held in London on 23rd January, where they will be up against the top seven boutiques in the country.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals.
