Last week, owner Jen Bone scooped the regional finals for the West Midlands in the Seamstress and Tailor category at The Mount Hotel in Wolverhampton.

She said: “It is such a thrill to have won this award, I was generally surprised and the support has been wonderful.

“I was nominated and voted for by my brides which makes the whole experience so much more special.

“As a bridal designer I get to work very closely with my brides to create their perfect wedding outfit and it is so important to me that my brides find this experience such a big part of their wedding preparations.”

Jen now goes onto take part in the national finals, set to be held on Wednesday, January 22 at The Underglobe in London.
