THE Simply Devine Hatshop in Tadcaster has capped the best wedding accessories supplier award in the English Wedding Awards in Manchester.

Owner Liz Devine-Wright was completely bowled over by the win, saying: “People say that they didn’t expect to win, but really, we didn’t expect anything and were just looking forward to a lovely evening out. It really was a complete shock, but such a wonderful surprise."

The hat shop, which this year celebrated 13 years in business, is a destination store for its extensive range of hats, hatinators, fascinators, jewellery, pashminas, and special occasion handbags, and beat off stiff competition from 21 other accessories suppliers.
