Bridal\u00a0forums across the US are up in arms (and rightly so) due to the bridal chain Alfred Angelo unexpectedly closing its doors and declaring bankruptcy – leaving thousands of brides in the lurch, and without their wedding dress.<\/p>\n
Brides received a\u00a0simple phone call or an email stating the situation, and giving them until the end of the day to pick up their wedding dress<\/a> – and that’s if it had even come in yet! Brides who were still awaiting their dress to arrive in-store had their concerns met with a simple “sorry” and “email here”.

A bridal emergency. A disaster.<\/em><\/p>\n Even though the Alfred Angelo disaster occurred in the US, it’s a very real possibility it’d also occur here in Australia: remember when Bokeh Photography declared bankruptcy and left couples without their wedding photography?<\/p>\n Here’s how to avoid\u00a0wedding vendor disasters, heaven forbid they should ever occur here in Australia.<\/p>\n
