Crystal Couture Finalist in Wedding Ideas Awards 2012
A Caerleon wedding shoe designer is celebrating after being selected as a finalist in the Wedding Ideas Magazine Awards 2012.
Yona Armstrong, 35, set up her online wedding shoe company, Crystal Couture just over two years ago.
Now the company is building on its success by being selected as a finalist in the prestigious Wedding Ideas Magazine Awards 2012, which take place on Friday, January 13, 2012.
More than 10,000 brides from across Wales and the UK have voted for their favourite wedding companies in the awards which are now in their sixth year.
Crystal Couture is up for the title of Best Shoes amongst a five strong field of well known and established companies.
Mother-of-three Mrs Armstrong, said, “It’s so exciting to be selected as a finalist in the Wedding Ideas Awards 2012.
“It’s fantastic that my designs are being recognised and appreciated, particularly amongst such an established field.
“These awards are important because they are voted for by brides and I feel honoured that people have taken the time to vote for Crystal Couture.”
Crystal Couture’s luxury wedding shoes and accessories decorated with Swarovski crystals have garnered huge interest from retailers and attracted customers from around the world.
It has recently launched a new Elite collection of exclusive shoes with Italian leather soles and intricate designs.
Crystal Couture shoes are on display in high street giants Debenhams featuring in stores at London’s Oxford Street, Cardiff, Swansea and Manchester’s Trafford Centre.
The company has also featured in Vogue and other fashion magazines.
The latest accolade of being selected as a finalist in the Wedding Ideas Awards 2012 adds to the list of previous award nominations last year when Crystal Couture was a finalist at the Bridal Buyers Awards and Welsh Women in Business Awards.
The winners of the Wedding Ideas Awards 2012 will be chosen by a panel of expert judges from the wedding industry and announced in a ceremony in London on January 13, 2012.
Mrs Armstrong said, “I love creating beautiful shoes and accessories which help to add something to a special day and am working hard to expand my business and producing new designs for customers such as the recently launched Elite collection.
“This is a great start to 2012 and I can’t wait to see what the next 12 months will bring.”
