Old and new brides will be freshening up their bridal gowns to wear them again this Friday at a charity event in Newry.

The evening at the Canal Court Hotel is to raise funds for the Newry-based Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.

It is being organised by Elody bridal shop owner Sharon Paterson and Essence Photography's Karen Clerkin.

And the charity's own Eithne Bell is expected to be part of the crowd on the night.

Bridesmaids, mothers and those who aren't yet married are being encouraged to attend too:

For those facing a bit of a tight squeeze, acclaimed fashion designer Shauna Fay will be on hand with advice and tips and making it fit again!

The event is this Friday at the Canal Court Hotel from 8:30pm and tickets are still available.
