So, I had a nightmare day yesterday! I found out the shop I bought my dress from has shut down! No warning, or notification – it’s now a salon! ?
It was Samantha’s Boutique in Dunchurch. I just wanted to post on here in case any other brides’ had bought from there over the past year. They also owned a shop called Amore Bridal in Dunchurch as well – that is closed down as well. I think they have been closed about 3 months now.
I rang the designer of my dress and they confirmed it for me. Luckily I have been able to re-order the dress with them, and have it delivered elsewhere but I had a very stressful 24 hours! The shop also ran off with my deposit, and apparently the designer never even received the order even though I ordered it in June last year!
I think I’m still in shock a little bit that this could happen! You hear about these things but never think it’ll happen to you!
I hope nobody else has bought from there. If you have, I would suggest you ring the designer like I did – they should be able to help. My wedding is June and they said they could get me a dress by then. Also, if you paid your deposit on card ring them and ask for a refund.
It was a nightmare but hopefully all sorted. I think my blood pressure has just about come back down…..
