Thanks to Katrina for this fantastic news. Ed


Earlier this month, the best of the wedding world descended on the Café de Paris London to see the national winners of The Wedding Industry Awards 2015 announced at a glamorous ceremony.

Best Wedding Dress Designer/ Dressmaker
One of the lucky winners was Forget me Not Designs from Ryde, who picked up the title of “Best Wedding Dress Designer/ Dressmaker”.

Katrina, who runs the business with her sister Geraldine who designs the dresses, said,

“This award really means the world to us because it is judged on votes and comments from last year’s brides. It is a testament to the effort we put into our customer service and the quality of our designs that we have come away with the top prize.”

When founder of The Wedding Industry Awards, Damian Bailey took to the stage along with co-host Isabel Webster from Sky News’ Sunrise, the audience was on tenterhooks waiting to see who would be recognised as being the best in the wedding industry.

“Choosing the winners was harder than ever”
Damian Bailey said,

“Every year, the competition for the top titles gets hotter and hotter and every year, the celebrations get better and better

“This year, our judges all commented on the skill, the dedication and the commitment of all our national finalists and choosing the winners was harder than ever.”

With the UK wedding industry being worth an estimated £10billion annually and hundreds of suppliers in competition with each other, to be crowned national champion in no mean feat. Companies had to not only catch the judge’s eyes but also receive first-class feedback from their recent clients.

Damian Bailey continued,

“If The Wedding Industry Awards is about anything, it’s about celebrating the amazing talent that fills the wedding industry.

“Everyone who was with us at Café de Paris London deserves to be recognised and I have no doubt that the 2016 awards, which launch in May, will be even better.”
