disaster its just not fair

Oh no thats all rubbish

at least you have lovely friends & family who are helping you out & trying to make sure its still perfect for you

Oh Zoe that really is cr@p! But like others have said it sounds like you have a good network of family and friends around you to help you.

Hope you manage to get everything sorted, it sounds like you will.

Oh, this is so horrible to hear, thank goodness for your wonderful friends and family.

I think this really highlights the need for wedding insurance in the current economic climate.

So sorry to hear you have had a few setbacks so close to your wedding. Your family and BM's sound really supportive it is great you have found a dress you love.

As for the suppliers, shame on them! As someone else has said this really highlights why insurance is such a small price to pay for peace of mind. Can you claim for your losses on your policy if you have one?

Thats awful.

At least it sounds like you are on top of it the best you can be. If I was you, to not make the situation any worse, I'd leave all the fighting with solicters and stuff till after the wedding.

You've got enough to do as it is.

How awful for you, and I dont think its someone telling you not to go ahead its just a serious run of bad luck !!

Glad you got your dress sorted in the end but as for the shop owner what a B**** this happened to a bridal shop here she was still taking bookings and payments knowing she many months prior that she had lost her buisness and was going to be bankrupt, such heartless behaivour.

That really is just bad luck, and i do agree that with the economy the way it is then insurance really is a must now. I am sure come the big day it will all be fantastic

Thank you everyone for your kind words yes i have got a fab bridal party and really close supportive family that has helped me through the tricky times. i would suggest to everyone that you get wedding insurance and be thankful i did and everything will be ok xx

Oh Zoe...how terrible for you, it's absolutely outrageous that these suppliers have let you down this way...and at any time it's bad enough to loose this amount of money but with the current economic situation it's even worse.It's a good job you have family and friends to help you out.....I have a brand new tiara you can have if you want....mail me .

So sorry to hear this Zoe and it makes me so angry when stories like this appear. Sadly, it is a common occurrence in these times as shops are closing on the high streets due to businesses struggling but it's heartless to take people's money and run knowing full well they have no intention of providing the goods. As others have said, wedding insurance is a vital necessity these days which for a small price - approx £30-40 gives cover on just about everything and gives peace of mind.

It's good to hear that you have managed to get things sorted though and it's great that your family and friends have given you the support and help - hope you can get some recompense from the suppliers that let you down.

That's terrible but on the flip side really good and shown you how much you are loved. Brilliant for your H to arrange dress shopping for you. For every crook out there, there are more lovely people and it is a story to tell your kids.

Hello

do you have 7 of the Double dropper necklace set available please zoe x

What a nightmre for you, so sorry to hear about that.

If you need a veil sorting, there is a fab woman that did mine & many on here have also recommended called Margaret. She was reasonably priced, had many different tuelle types & colours (& will send samples beforehand) & can help with getting the length correct. She will also take the veil back if you really dont like it. My veil is in Sydney, otherwise you could have mine.
