Only got these off Georgia on Weds - over a month to pass them over to me 🤦‍♀️🤪.

Love my girls - they truly support me in everything I do , and of course it’s naturally reciprocated. I’m a very proud mum too.

Love you both ❤️💞❤️. #unconditionallove♥️ #nwwa #multiawardwinningweddingflorist #weddingflowers by @countybrides

From the incredible venue and creative team to every supplier who contributed their time, talent and expertise, we couldn’t have created something this special without you.

We’re so excited to share the finished magazine with you when it launches towards the end of August.

@newsandstar @countybrides How lovely to be featured and recognised for all the hard work!

Thank you to every couple, family and wedding venue who have engaged me to help them with such meaningful ceremonies over the years.

Here is to a future of ‘freedom to choose’ and more #celebrantledceremony options for those seeking a truly personalised wedding or vow renewal experience.

✨ What a spectacular evening! ✨

We were delighted to host the @countybrides North West Wedding Awards 2026 here at Park Hall Hotel & Spa.

Our newly refurbished Lancastrian Suite was filled with glamour, celebration, and excitement as wedding industry professionals came together to recognise the very best in the North West. Guests enjoyed a wonderful drinks reception in our unique Medieval Banquet Hall before the celebrations continued into an unforgettable awards evening.

The venue was buzzing with laughter, elegance, and well-deserved applause, making it a truly memorable occasion. Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners, and thank you to County Brides for choosing Park Hall Hotel & Spa to host such a prestigious event.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for another incredible celebration! 💫

I was one of them to make it to the final Top Ten tier - amongst other outstanding businesses & then go on to win it & for the second year in a row, is very humbling & will never be lost on me ❤️😃🍾🥂🎉 #northwestweddingawardswinner #bridetobe #weddingflowers #northwestweddingawards by @countybrides

While I didn’t come home with a trophy (unless we’re counting the raffle prize 📖🤭), we had such a fab evening filled with great food, drinks, dancing, and the chance to meet some lovely new people within the wedding industry.

And honestly, you can’t beat an excuse to get all glammed up and enjoy a child free overnight hotel stay! 👌🏻

I’m incredibly proud to have been recognised as one of the Top 10 Wedding Hair Stylists in the North West. That alone feels like a huge achievement, and I’m so grateful for all the support, encouragement, and trust I’ve received along the way🫶🏻

A huge thank you to all of my wonderful brides who took the time to vote for me. Your support means the world, and I truly couldn’t have achieved this without you. ❤️

Being part of so many special wedding mornings and helping brides feel beautiful and confident on one of the most important days of their lives is something I’ll never take for granted.

Here’s to many more beautiful weddings, happy brides, and making memories that last a lifetime. ✨
