“I am beyond thrilled to have entered and won the prestigious Wedding Industry Award for Bridal Seamstress/Tailor of the Year,” she says. “Bridal seamstresses play a vital role in creating the perfect wedding attire yet are often overlooked. Many brides don’t realise they have the option of having a stylish, sustainable and ethically produced gown made just for them right here in the South-west. To win in the very first year that this category has been included makes it even more special.”

The Wedding Industry Awards are the UK’s only client-voted, expert-judged wedding awards, making them a powerful benchmark of quality. “Winning this award means the world to me,” Lynsey continues. “It’s an incredible recognition for the hard work, attention to detail and craftsmanship that seamstresses bring to every gown. To know that my bespoke brides have supported and voted for me is truly heartwarming.”
