Police Called to Bridal Shop

It is always a nightmare when a wedding shop goes into liquidation or worse still a wedding venue as it can leave brides thousands of pounds out of pocket and their whole wedding day in jeopardy.

I have experienced this here in my home town when two wedding venues went into liquidation without warning leaving couples completely stranded and unable to find alternative venues at such short notice, not to mention losing a lot of money. Some of these couples had not taken out any wedding insurance either.

This particular story is about a wedding shop, Arvella, based in Lyndhurst which shut up shop without warning. When the word got out, the shop was besieged by Brides to be, Fiances and family members all wanting to get their paid for wedding dresses out of the shop. At some point someone has then forced entry into the shop and so the police were then called.

Many designers dresses have been affected including Charlotte Balbier and Pronovias who seem to have been extremely helpful to those brides affected. For the full story - click here.
