A PICKERING bridal boutique has been nominated for best new retailer in a prestigious bridal awards.

The Little Pearl Bridal Boutique only opened on Valentine’s Day earlier this year but already it has been recognised by the Bridal Buyer 2015 Awards.

The awards aim to recognise excellence across all sectors of the bridal industry from the retailers delivering the best customer service to suppliers who provide fashion-forward garments.

Owner Diana McMann said that she was delighted to have been nominated for the award.

“We are thrilled beyond words to be nominated for such a prestigious award,” she said.

“The Little Pearl would not be where it is now if it wasn’t for all the lovely brides we have had the pleasure in meeting and the amazing designers and suppliers we work with. We are so excited for what the future holds, and we have lots more fabulous things planned for our pearls girls.

The winners of the Bridal Buyer Awards will be announced at a black tie event on September 14 at the Harrogate International Centre.
