We're thrilled to announce an incredible £3,000 Wedding Dress Giveaway from the renowned Avenue Collection by Josephine Scott Bridal, a headline sponsor of The Northern Wedding Show.

This is your chance to say "YES" to the dress of your dreams without a single worry about the price tag

But hurry—this opportunity is as exclusive as the gowns themselves…

About Avenue by Josephine Scott Bridal

With a fresh wave of modernity running through every single creation, this new collection from this British label embodies a woman-led, high fashion feel that puts the bride at the core of everything, from its high-quality fabrics and slow fashion approach to bespoke styling and inspirational customisable options.

Her new designs are for women who prefer to write their own bridal fashion narrative with designs that boast avant garde flourishes. Standout statement bridal style and a luxe look that flows seamlessly from day to night is embodied within this incredible portfolio of gowns. Mini or maxi - minimal or dramatic - there’s a style to suit in this diverse range.

Brides will have the opportunity to see the splendour of her creations as they debut on the catwalk at the show via local stockist and exhibitor at the show The Wedding Dress Company in Corbridge

We caught up with Josephine about her dream creations and trends..

How you choose fabrics to work with? As a designer, why do you think a bride must care about the cut and fabric of her gown? 

Luxury is about a feeling as much as a look, which is how I choose the fabrics. They are also lightweight to allow movement and generous layers, which gives an extra element of elegance and sophistication.

A top trend you can see emerging in bridal fashion in 2025? 

Corsetry – women are beginning to see and feel the benefits of a fully constructed gown again, as well as appreciating the beauty of a simple gown, cut well and enhanced by a beautifully cut corset

WE HAVE WORKED WITH JOSEPHINE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW AT BELLE BRIDAL - HER GOWNS HAVE GRACED THE COVER OF OUR ESTEEMED PUBLICATION - TO BE ABLE TO GIFT SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL TO ONE LUCKY WINNER IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY AND WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE SUCH AN IMPECCABLE DESIGNER GRACE OUR CATWALK AND PROVIDE THIS PRIZE.
