Bridal Shops are categorised as non-essential retail for the purposes of the Restart Grant Scheme.

The definition of non-essential retail for the purposes of Restart Grants is as follows: a business that is open to the public and is used mainly or wholly for the purposes of retail sale or hire of goods or services, where the primary purpose of products or services provided are not necessary to the health and well-being of the public.
