Maggie Sottero, ‘Ireland’ Winner of the The Wedding Dress of the Year - Bridal Buyer Awards 2009
The annual Bridal Buyer Awards is a highlight of the year for designers, manufacturers and retailers in the bridal industry, and a celebration of the skills and creativity that firmly place British talent up there on the global playing field. This year, a new category was added to the Bridal Buyer Awards - Wedding Dress of the Year.
The initial shortlist was assembled by six of the UK’s top fashion editors who selected the best dress, in their view, from each of the finalists in last year’s Bridal Manufacturer of the Year category. Those dresses then went on display at the Autumn National Wedding Shows in London Earls Court and Birmingham NEC where more than 25,000 consumers got the opportunity to see them and pick their favourite.
The winner who walks away with the covetable title is Maggie Sottero’s ‘Ireland’, an elegant strapless gown in skilfully-draped chiffon.
