It’s the stuff bridal nightmares are made of.
Imagine finding your dream wedding dress only to discover three working days before the big day that the store has gone into liquidation and your dress is gone. Gone.
That is exactly what has just happened to at least 70 brides, with the closure of Sydney store Bridal Vision.
Twenty brides and their families stormed the Wetherill Park premises yesterday demanding to know the whereabouts of their dresses and deposits.
Police were called in and shortly after the store voluntarily ceased trading. One bride-to-be, Nancy Moujalli, said she turned up at the store only to be told a different company now operated it.
“But some of the same staff were there and it was the same stock,” she told the Daily Telegraph. “There were so many other people there who had bought dresses fighting and arguing.”
“I felt really sorry for this girl who is getting married on Saturday. What is she supposed to do?”
Thankfully, knight in white satin bridal designer and former host of Project Runway, Henry Roth has swooped in to save the day. He is offering every single one of the brides a below cost wedding gown.
(Henry Roth, you’re Mamamia’s spirit animal of the week. High five).
At this stage there is no explanation for the closure from the company but the website’s landing page states: “we regretfully inform you that our showrooms are closed at this time” and claiming that “we are trying to come to an agreement with suppliers to deliver finished gowns to customers”.

I'm shocked but not surprised.. I got my dress from them a year and half ago and I also thought that it was strange they were so easy with the fact that I had been waiting so long and it still hadn't arrived..I literally picked up the dress a few days before I flew out of the country to get married! I pushed them and kept calling as I had a bad feeling I wouldn't get it in time.. I feel for all the brides
Go vintage, heaps of gorgeous dresses for less than $500 in second hand stores all over Australia. Not just 80's - mine is genuine $60s, was $220 and I have had it professionally altered for $150.
