A bridalwear shop in Silsden is celebrating after being named best in the country.

Ava Rose Hamilton beat off shops from London and across the country to be named Bridal Retailer of the Year at the Yorkshire Brides Wedding Industry Awards.

Winners were presented with their awards by celebrity stylist Bradley Taylor, at The Pavilions on the Great Yorkshire Showground.

Shop owner Paula Chappell said they were amazed to discover they had won.

"We went along just for the experience and really didn't expect to win," she said. "When our name was called out we were all taken by surprise."

Paula, who named the shop after her daughter, Ava Rose, said the accolade would be very good for the business.

"I've been doing this for 20 years and I've got excellent staff. We all feel very passionately about what we do."
