What do I do now? I am so sorry for what has happened to all of you brides with the recent bridal store closing. Who would think it would happen again? As unsettling as this is let me assure you that things will work out and although recovering your loss is very important your wedding is more important. Please don't let this ruin your day!
The first thing you want to do is file a claim with the authorities i.e. police department and county attorney's office. Make copies of all your receipts and gather all your information so it's readily available.
Next you'll want to call your credit card and debit card provider and get the charges reversed on your card. You will need details such as dates, amounts etc.
Contact other bridal stores for help in finding out if your dresses have been ordered or if you need to start over. Sometimes but less likely the manufacturers may give you some info. They will not ship dresses to you personally but some will ship to an authorized retailer.
Unfortunately you will have to repay for the dress(s) to get them, but at least you will get them.
Continue planning your wedding and only let this be a bump in the road. Deal with the bridal store with all the strength and courage you can muster up. As devastating and horrible as this is focus on the reason you ordered the dresses in the first place. You're wedding day! Let this be the story you will tell your granddaughter one day, and when she asks what happened next you can say; "We got married!"
