WHAT THESE AWARDS MEAN FOR YOU

This year’s awards put a spotlight on the brands and businesses shaping the future of bridal retail and design. Rising stars such as UNBRIDLED Studio and The Dress & I captured the industry’s imagination, showing how fresh vision and fearless creativity can elevate the bridal experience.

The winners also raised the bar across every category, from in-store experiences to digital presence. Whether it’s a beautifully designed and punchy social presence, a shop that puts customers at its core or a supplier championing sustainability, these businesses are redefining what excellence looks like in bridal.

For retailers and suppliers alike, the awards offer key insights into what today’s brides are seeking. Inclusivity in sizing, seamless customer journeys and a balance of aesthetics with personal touches are all priorities reflected in this year’s Hall of Fame.

Finally, the designs themselves set the tone for what will trend in the months ahead. Voted for by real brides, standout gowns like 8321 by Monica Loretti captures the silhouette, style and detailing the modern bride is looking for.
