The 2012 Bridal Buyer Awards winners
They turned out in full force – the bridal industry’s best – retailers from across the country, international manufacturers, top-name designers and students looking to follow in their footsteps.
It was a star-studded evening, bridal’s answer to the Oscars, hosted by TV stylist John Scott, and attended by more than 600 guests.
Staged every year to coincide with the British Bridal Exhibition in Harrogate (BBEH), this long-running awards programme has been proven to make a difference not just to the category winners, but also to their co-finalists who, for the following year, can claim to be among the very best, recognised for delivering excellence.
