Local businesses, About You Bridal Boutique and House of Flowers, both located on Mill Street, have been nominated for a prestigious award recognizing excellence in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The winners will be announced on Tuesday, June 13, following the close of voting on Sunday night.
Sharon Lowe, the owner of About You Bridal Boutique, has been nominated in the “Best Bridal Shop” category. Having only opened her boutique in October last year, Sharon expressed her delight and surprise at the nomination: “I was absolutely blown away,” she shared. Motivated by her own challenging experience when shopping for her wedding dress, Sharon wanted to create a boutique focused on a highly personalized bridal journey. “That’s why I called it About You—because it’s all about people’s individual bridal journey,” she explained.
House of Flowers, owned by Anthony Sherman, is also highly regarded in its category. Anthony previously won an award for ‘Best Newcomer’ in 2018 and is hopeful for another win this year. Reflecting on the nomination, he said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be nominated, and the support we have had from the whole community and all our customers has been amazing.”
The competition highlights exceptional businesses across Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, with nominees evaluated based on their innovation, impact, and success in the industry. The nominations of both About You Bridal Boutique and House of Flowers showcase their dedication to excellence and the high regard in which they are held by the local community.
