Liz Devine-Wright, owner of the shop, of York Road, Tadcaster, has run the designer-led hat shop for the past 20 years.

Said Liz: “It is always such an honour to be a finalist in professional awards.  Our customers have nominated and voted for us, which means we are doing something which is appreciated by them.  Our headwear has graced heads at events all over the world – from Africa to Australia to America, as well as here in the UK. It is always our aim to ensure that every customer who comes into the shop looks and feels a million dollars on their special day."

The Nation’s Wedding Awards 2023 are a celebration of the wedding professionals throughout the UK. Following the overwhelming response from the public and the phenomenal number of nominations received, the full list with finalists from across the nation has now been revealed.

The glamorous awards, organised by Oceanic Media, will take place on Wednesday 1st November at Manchester Mercure Piccadilly Hotel and will celebrate professionals who have gone above and beyond and made a real difference in the industry with their excellent services. Liz Devine-Wright will be at the event with members of the Simply Devine team.

The event seeks to acknowledge and honour the talented individuals, teams and businesses, whose sole aim is to provide couples and their families with the most magical memories and a wedding day to remember.

Top celebrants, hairstylists, florists, photographers, and industry professionals will gather to celebrate their achievements. The black-tie ceremony promises to be one of the most memorable celebrations in the industry’s calendar this year.

A spokesperson for The Nation’s Wedding Awards 2023 said: “We would like to thank the public for their participation in our nomination process.
