A bridal shop in England has gone viral for its inclusive window display, which features a mannequin in a wheelchair.
Over a million Americans use wheelchairs and other assistive mobility devices. But despite that fact, it’s incredibly unusual to see a wheelchair user in a shop display. Instead, the mannequins in the window usually all look the exact same.
So when Twitter user Beth Wilson noticed that her local bridal shop featured a wheelchair-using mannequin in the window, she was overjoyed.
“The new wedding shop in town has a wheelchair using mannequin and it shouldn’t be exciting but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen disability portrayed in a shop window,” Beth wrote.
The shop is the White Collection Bridal Boutique in Portishead, England. Owners Laura and Sarah say they didn’t think twice before putting up the wheelchair display – they simply thought, “Why not?”
But this simple gesture has meant the world to tons of people, including many wheelchair-using brides.
