The White Collection Bridal Boutique is a retail destination in Portishead, Bristol which has won the hearts of the public with its inclusive bridal store display.
The shop was recognized by Beth Wilson in a viral Tweet, in which she applauded the business for its recognition of the differently abled — a demographic that is "often made to feel 'invisible' and is rarely seen in media, let alone modeling gorgeous clothes in stores."
The bridal store display spotlights a gorgeous and luxurious wedding dress on a mannequin that is placed in a wheelchair. The transportation device has been playfully decorated with green vines, adding a tasteful touch.
