In 1987, after spotting a gap in the market, Val Foster worked from home making and hiring out hooped petticoats – hence the name Hoops A Daisy! From such small beginnings the business grew and in 1989 had to move into commercial premises as  Wedding Dresses and Accessories were added to the range.

In 1999 Val’s daughter Karen Noden bought the business and set about expanding both the premises and the shops reputation. In 2005 a £150,000 refurbishment was carried out during which a second floor was added, resulting in 2 storeys of luxurious showrooms.
Hoops A Daisy is now one of the most respected and well known names in Bridalwear in the North of England, stocking over 300 of the most beautiful Wedding Dresses and a huge range of superb accessories.

It isn’t hard to see why this is - everything in the shop is designed to make the customer comfortable, from the air conditioning to the large private changing rooms. And this dedication has been recognised -  in 2004, Hoops A Daisy was voted into the top 3 ‘Best Designed Bridal Salons in the UK’ and in 2007, Barbara Scott, a long standing member of staff, won the ‘Best Bridalwear Salesperson’ award, both from the ‘Bridal Buyer’ magazine Bridal awards.
