With Bridal Shops being hit by the economic climate, horror stories of brides being left high and dry with businesses going bust, is there any wonder that new brides are becoming increasingly more nervous as to where they purchase their wedding dress. What assurances do they have that the shop will still be open in six months or so as their wedding day approaches?

It goes without saying that this will be the most expensive and important garment a bride will ever buy. It is their dream dress, chosen with care for their most memorable day ever. They want to remember the whole experience with happiness for the rest of their lives. And with big and well-established businesses going bust, how can they buy with confidence from any supplier in this current climate?

Not only that, even if you took out wedding insurance, you may only have a few days or weeks to find another dress, and then may need to get it altered to fit. There would probably not be enough time to order another. (We have rescued a few distraught brides in our time, pulling out all the stops and working round the clock to save the day).

For your peace of mind and complete protection regardless where you buy your dress from, do consider taking out wedding insurance and allow yourself plenty of time. My heart goes out to those that come to us having suffered heavy losses elsewhere. Wedding Insurance does not cost much, starting from around £19.00 and covers your whole wedding for most eventualities including your dress. It can even cover bad weather!!!

I cannot convey how upsetting it is to see a distraught bride or bride’s parent, when they have lost their dream dress and can ill afford another. At least with wedding insurance you would have the finances available to get another dress or have one made. Yes you are covered when you purchase by credit card, but would this be sorted in time?

Make your wedding plans as stress free as possible so you can enjoy the whole experience. You want to remember these with happy memories. Check out the comparison sites and enjoy planning the most important day of your life.

If you decide to go for a dress off the peg, do make sure it will arrive with plenty of time to spare should things go wrong.
