Sense has opened the UK’s first wedding department within a charity shop at its Kingswinford shop in the West Midlands.

The shop stocks both brand new designer and vintage wedding and bridesmaids dresses, as well as grooms’ suits and a wide range of accessories including veils, hats, gloves and even garters.

To mark the launch, shop staff staged a ‘wedding reception’ with cake and champagne, and modelled some of the donated clothes available.
