I am delighted to announce that I am a current prestigious, Drapers Footwear Awards finalist in the category of Footwear Designer of the year.

I do not have high hopes for my win, as I am up against some seriously well known footwear individuals and brands. Some of the finalists include Louboutin for Premium Footwear Brand of the Year to Skechers, Cheaney Shoes, Fit Flop, Clarks and many more!

The glitzy award ceremony is held in the summer in London where the winners will be crowned!

Following on from the amazing two day wedding show event at the Norfolk Showground, I was alerted to the fact that I was seen in action, conversing with the show public. Thanks to the EDP and the Norwich Evening News for this!

The Wedding Show at the Norfolk Showground is the biggest bridal event in the area. Held over two days, the weekend saw 150 top bridal suppliers and reatilers come together to meet with the enthusiastic wedding public.

It was the first Showground event that Milly J Shoes and Bridal Shoes By Milly J had attended. We were inundated with visitors to our exhibit and so it was well worth the time!

Following on from the magnificent overall win at the Archant, EDP Wedding Awards, I was surprised to find a fabulous in print article on the evening as a whole. It was wonderful to see such a great write up on my shop, win and shoes!

Milly J Shoes joined the elite of the bridal industry last week to celebrate the annual, EDP and Archant, Bride Wedding Awards!

A fine night that saw many from the industry crowned at the glitzy gala. With 12 categories to win in. Milly J Shoes, Bridal Shoes By Milly J & All About shoes was up for 3 prestigious awards. It wasn't until the final award and the overall award from all the finalists from each category was announced and then whittled down to 3 finalists that Milly J Shoes won the top prize! The Wedding Innovation Award!

This award is handed to a business or individual who has introduced new products and methods and innovations. Moving the bridal industry forward!

I am thrilled, as I pride myself on being unique and innovative. Thank you to Marry in Norfolk, the EDP and Archant for this fantastic Award.

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners of the night.
