We hosted our brand-new wedding pop-up event last Saturday. were overjoyed by the number of supporters who donated and came along to the wedding pop-up. The wedding pop-up took place at our Wellbeing Hub, decorating the entire space to transport customers to a wedding boutique filled with amazing dresses and accessories.

One excited customer was able to find the dress of her dreams. Erica, from Westhoughton, and her mum Andrea attended our wedding pop-up event on Saturday, they enjoyed a morning of browsing the beautiful dresses and talking to our shops team. Erica was lucky enough to leave with a gorgeous white wedding dress for her special day as well as a stunning mother-of-the-bride outfit for her mum, with accessories to help complete the looks.

Erica said “It was so much better than I was expecting, the dresses are all gorgeous and it’s been lovely to spend the day with Mum getting excited about my big day with a glass of fizz! I wasn’t expecting to buy a dress, I thought I’d have a look around and get an idea about what styles there are and then I saw this one and fell in love with it!”    

Erica is getting married in May 2026 and she is looking forward to her fiancé, Rob, seeing the dress on their big day. Erica saw the pop-up event on Facebook, she and her mum decided to come down to our Wellbeing Hub to look and browse the amazing dresses.

Andrea, Erica’s mum said “We got here first thing at 10 am and the whole atmosphere has been wonderful. We’ve been given an incredible wedding dress shopping experience and it’s been a marvellous day!”
