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.
