History
The business is operating in the local area for well over 30 years. Has been a Bridal Industry Award for Excellence winner while operated by a husband and wife team which retired in early 2021 when the current owners took over. "Andrea's Brides and Grooms" used to be the old name which then changed in 2022 to "Brides and Reflections" since COVID killed the hire of men suits, a new name was choosen taking the "Groom" and mens fashion away from the shop concentrating on the female customer base only.
