A shoe designer has said the sky is the limit after scooping one of the top prizes at an awards ceremony.
The EDP Bride: The Wedding Awards celebrated the best photographers, cake makers, hair and beauty stylists, venues, transport providers, florists, bridal shops and jewellery designers, among the 11 categories.
It was held at the Holiday Inn Norwich North on January 25.
The overall prize - Wedding Innovation Award, sponsored by Marry in Norfolk - went to Norwich-based All About Shoes ft Milly J and Bridal Shoes by Milly J.
After winning the top gong, Emily Jupp, from All About Shoes ft Milly J and Bridal Shoes by Milly J, said: 'What is really beautiful is that customers come to me to create something that is bespoke to them. For me and my mother, who is my wonderful investor, the award shows that people really believe in the art form. This year, the sky's the limit.'
There were 290 entries this year across the 11 categories.
The Wedding Innovation Award winner and finalists were selected from within the finalists of all categories.
Each award was judged separately.
Diana Sims, sales director of Archant's Bride portfolio, said: 'Thursday evening was fantastic, the room was full of applause and pride as our 12 winners were crowned for the 2018 EDP Bride: The Wedding Awards.
'We were joined by guests from the Norfolk wedding industry who came together to celebrate both the achievements from the past 12 months, and the wonderful industry we work in.'
Guests arrived to a red carpet reception with Prosecco and were entertained during the night by violinist Alison Sparrow.
They were welcomed by Joanne Goodwin, from Archant Bride, and Caroline Clarke, from the main awards' ceremony sponsor Marry in Norfolk.
All the guests enjoyed a three-course meal before the prizes were handed out by host David Whiteley.
Table decorations were from Elizabeths the Florist, from Norwich, and the Holiday Inn Norwich North was decorated by Wymondham-based Victoria Marquees.
