The seven new gowns coming soon are full of stunning details from beautiful sleeves, delicate lace, beautiful silhouettes and gorgeous backs. The boutique is set within a charming chapel built in 1888, with more than 130 years of history. After a fire broke out in 2014, the chapel required a complete renovation to bring new life and purpose to the space – it’s now the ideal setting to find the one. Brides can find gowns from White Rose Bridal, LouLou Bride, Louise Bentley Bridalwear, Millie Grace, Sincerity Bridal, Herawhite Bridal and more. Prices range from £1,000 to £2,100 and payment plans are available upon request. Michelle Martin, who has recently joined the team last year, has loved working with brides around the region. She says, “The best part of the job is when our customers’ faces light up, and we all know she has found the one!” Check out: www.ashleighrichards.co.uk WINNING IN LOVE Situated in the East Midlands, Emily White Music has won the Best Wedding Musical Act at The Wedding Industry Awards 2023 for the second year.
