A LUCKY Worcester bride got a helping hand up the aisle when she won £1,000 towards her wedding dress.

Allyson Davies, of Northwick, won the prize after entering the competition at a bridal fair by I Will wedding magazine.

She will use the prize towards a dress from Bridal Boutique in Lowesmoor in Worcester, which sponsors the fair and the competition. Glenda Aston, who is one of the owners of the boutique, said the bride-to-be was very excited about her wedding.

She said: “This is the third time we have taken part in the competition. Allyson was an absolute delight to meet. She was super and so excited that she won.”
