Mum's 'hidden treasure' named after her daughter making dreams come true

A Merseyside bridal shop has been helping women find their dream dresses for almost 30 years.

Located off Pilch Lane in Huyton, Natalie Ann Brides first opened its doors back in 1994, but the family business has a longer history working in the industry. Owned by mum-of-three Karen Bleasdale and named after her daughter Natalie Ann McDonald, Karen started designing and creating gowns for brides-to-be in the family home before expanding and opening a bridal shop.

Over the years, Karen has made around a thousand wedding dresses by hand for brides special days. Natalie came on board with the business 14 years ago and has since been helping to run the shop and their social media, which now boasts over 20,000 followers on Instagram alone.
