blogging the journey from single girl to married woman.

if it's too good to be true, it usually is!

Remember when I posted about Enzo Bridal, a bridal shop that was offering free airline tickets to any bride who tried on dresses?   When I had gone with my mother, sister and grandmother, I had tried on a beautiful dress that was at a really reasonable price.  Momzilla fell in love with it and tried to convince me to purchase my gown there.  I, being the researcher that I am, had read terrible reviews about the salon and refused to comply with MZ.

Thank goodness that I did.  According to this article and the furious brides on The Knot message boards, Enzo Bridal has suddenly closed its doors.  Brides who have put their deposits down may never see their wedding dress and some of these women are getting married in just a few months!  I couldn't imagine.

I hope this teaches brides two things:

One, you should always do your homework before you use any vendor.

And two, if it's too good to be true, it usually is!

WOW! As a bride-to-be I truly appreciate the heads up and tips for researching a store before taking the step of leaving a deposit. When booking theses vendors and such for the wedding my biggest fear is a fly by night operation won't exist the next day while taking my money and running! THANK YOU!
