They were set up to recognise excellence within our beloved industry and the hard work suppliers put into bringing their couples’ big-day visions come to life, very often going above and beyond the call of duty. There are a whole host of Bristol- and Somerset-based businesses making the finals of the South West region awards, which makes us super-proud.
