A HOLLYOAKS star was the guest of honour at the relaunch evening of a Cuddington bridal shop.

Lovia Bridal has rebranded as The Bridal Lounge, and invited a number of guests to celebrate its revitalised bridal business.

The Bridal Lounge has reopened with a glamorous new boutique, a modern exterior and signage, a new website, and also put on a lavish launch party to mark the landmark occasion.

To celebrate, guests were treated to a champagne reception, the opportunity to try on different gowns and general bridal chit chat an inspiration.

Hollyoaks actress Ruby O’Donnell, who plays Peri Lomax in the hit soap, was the special guest to officially open the boutique.

Owner, Sara Jones, said: “The launch marks the beginning of a new era for our boutique.

“Whilst we will always maintain our longstanding ethos of delivering the most amazing selection of gowns for our brides-to-be, it is our determination to give a ‘best in class’ service that, I’m confident, will continue to generate word of mouth references and sustain our position as Cheshire’s most loved bridal boutique.

“Brides of today have access to more information than ever before, so to offer a service that adds something that you can’t find on the internet is essential to attracting new customer interest.

“Ultimately, it’s our job to help ensure that the whole journey of being a bride is forever memorable and, most importantly of all, our brides-to-be find what they’re looking for and love the process of finding it."

Ruby, 16, has been a regular in Hollyoaks since 2013.

Her performances saw her win the Best Young Performance category at The British Soap Awards 2016.

Last month it was also announced that Ruby, from Warrington, has been nominated for Best Young Performer in the Inside Soap Awards.
