This year, Brooke expanded the business and the client offering at BE Ironbridge to include a tattoo studio, make-up artist and nail technician which led to the creation of bespoke bridal packages.
Brooke and the other four finalists will head to London’s Tate Modern Museum in September when the awards ceremony takes place.
