To all girls who have lost their dresses/money at Crystals Bridal Centre, Nuneaton...also massive N&P

That's terrible did she manage to get your actual dress from the manufacturer or did you have to buy a new one?

My order had never even been placed. So they had simply pocketed the money and not ordered it.

Luckily I have wedding insurance and I am getting my deposit back, but I would have been screwed if I couldn't get that back because this is the 2nd dress I've bought! (long story but felt other one was too plain)

And luckily again I only paid the deposit a couple of weeks ago so it doesn't really affect our timescales for fittings.

I know that there are many brides who are without money and without dresses with next to no time to get theirs sorted....really really crappy situation.

Dear Lauralil,

I'm from BBC Coventry and Warwickshire and I'm trying to get in contact with couples like yourself - affected by the closure of Crystals Bridal centre and Christophers Suit Hire.

If you would be in a position to do an interview about ehat happened to you, please contact me on **** 205 or on ****.********@***.**.**

No I haven't yet, only got the runway pics and the website pic I sent you. But it looks even better in real life! When I try it on again I will email you some, though I will email the runway pics that I found.

Yes Maggie's are BEAUTIFUL! And Claire, they fit so well. This new one hasn't got a corset back but it has an inner corset that works really well.

Have you seen any that make your jaw drop yet?

WOW! That is gorgeous, I saw this one and shortlisted it and the material is silk so it will be stunning on. I absolutely love the detail on the back under the corset and because it is gathered by the hip on the front it will be very flattering.

Stationery is coming along nicely! I have designed some new stock, I will send you a photo via email

I have no idea actually hun! Might be worth starting a new post asking this question xx

Thanks for the info Laura. We ordered our dress in April and apparently they filed for insolvency in February! They have sent us a note stating we have ordered a veil costing £40 which they have not supplied but conveniently forgot to mention the £1000 wedding dress that they also didn't supply. I am so worried that my credit card company will not refund without the dress being listed on their unfulfilled order note.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Lily

Hi Lily,

Which designer is your dress by? Do you have your receipt for the dress? Did you pay the full amount?

Its disgusting isn't it, they were willingly taking money from brides knowing they couldn't pay the suppliers for dresses.
