Dear Brides,
I hope ya'll are doing amazing. I wanted to share something with you that recently happened. I had a vendor, that I already paid a downpayment for file for bankruptcy.
Initially I was totally frustrated because I was wondering why they stopped responding and it wasn't until I did my research I found they had filed for bankruptcy. Talk about nonsense. I went with my gut when they started pushing me to pay the full amount, although my wedding is in October and after I paid my deposit (half by the way). Luckily I had paid with our "wedding credit card" and I was able to dispute the charge but it still leaves us without a band for our wedding....off to searching again.
My recommendation to all of you is to make sure you are protected. I think with the COVID times, you don't know what their financial situation will be coming out of this, and its better to make sure you do a lot of research to ensure the company or places you are using are credible. The smaller guys, although we love supporting them, may not make it and leave you with a challenge to deal with.
I have decided that I am only sending positive energy out there. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, but just sharing my experience in hopes it might help you.
Sending light and love!
