Linda Gray from Ruardean says she's 'chuffed to bits' that her bridalwear shop is one of five finalists in a national magazine award.

It has been announced that Linda Gray Bridalwear is in the finals to win Perfect Wedding Magazine's Best Wedding Boutique Award 2011.

It follows a run of success for the bridewear retailer who is now based in Gloucester but was at Harts Barn, Longhope, for seven years.

Last year Linda won Wedding Ideas Magazine's Best Bridal Shop 2010 and followed that up with a runners up award this year.

This boutique award is based on votes to Perfect Wedding Magazine's online site, but the winner won't be announced until later this September, to be followed by a glitzy do in London.
