Accapella Bridal are Finalists: 2026 Local Business Awards - Illawarra and the South Coast

Wednesday night, we attended the Business Awards finalist dinner, and although we didn’t take home the Specialist Retail Award, we were incredibly proud to be there representing Accapella Bridal.

Of course, Alison couldn’t simply wear an ordinary evening dress—she arrived in one of our wedding gowns! It was iconic, completely unforgettable and very Alison. She certainly attracted plenty of attention, with so many people telling us what a clever way it was to represent our bridal boutique.

This video captures the fun of the evening, including Alison getting changed into the gown and bringing her usual bubbly, chatty personality to the event.

Being named a finalist meant so much to us. Alison brings warmth, laughter and wonderful service to every bridal appointment, while I focus on the fit, structure, sizing and alterations that help every bride feel confident in her gown.

We may not have won the award, but we are incredibly proud of what we do—and we will continue working hard to make Accapella Bridal the very best bridal boutique it can be. 🤍
