“To be absolutely truthful we just weren’t expecting it, simply because of the standard of competition we were up against,” said Roisin.

“I feel really overwhelmed that our customers and the public voted for us - it makes me feel like our business really is worthy of the award.”

“Bridal retail is a lovely business to be involved in, but beyond the glamour it’s hard work too.”

Opened since 2006 Roisin said: “we have gone from strength to strength since then and this is the second major award we have received”.

Roisin has nothing but praise for the five members of staff employed at Angelic Bridal. “The staff could hardly believe it when we won. They were just so excited about it. They are a great team and really hard working.”

Proud to be nominated for the Best Retailer catagory, Roisin said: “obviously we place a high focus on our customer service and on trying to offer one of the best professional businesses around”.

Roisin shared the news on facebook where she says messages of congratulations have come flooding in. “We’ve also received flowers, sweets and wine from customers wishing us all the best.”
