Sad Day...wedding is cancelled :( Need advice

Sorry to hear things didn't work out..its good you guys realized thus before getting married though I would pay the girls their money back, you could either take the dresses and try to sell them yourself or tell the ladies they could try to sell them on cl, ebay, or recycledbride.com

Future Mrs. K, sorry to hear about your cancellation. If it helps, I've been there too. I walked away from a wedding 2 years ago and I totally understand what you mean, it definitely was one of the hardest things I had to do. Not only do you have to deal with the loss of money and material things already purchased but the emotional angst that comes along with this is really difficult to get through. In my opinion and what worked for me was to deal with the emotions first. Let yourself heal.

You chose your BM's for a reason and I'm sure they are several of your closest friends in life. They'll understand and hopefully won't make you feel any more overwhelmed than you already are. I only had 2 girls in my prior wedding party, one of which was my ex's daughter so I put the deposit on that. My best friend, who was my MOH, did not question me once about getting her money back.

Chin up and good luck to you! This too shall pass....

I was recently in a canceled wedding and personally I was more happy that they made the right decision rather than making a bad one for a life time. You should offer to purchase them. The dresses in the wedding I was to be in coud be worn to other fuctions. I hope things work for the best. Sorry for the news.

I am so sorry you are going through this difficult time.

If I were your BM, I would not even bring up the issue of my dress to you once. Cancelling a wedding is a tough enough, and my primary concern would be supporting and encouragement my friend.

I do like the idea of offering to buy back their dresses, you could resell them. I highly doubt that all of them if any will want their money back.

Thank you for the great advice. You all have been very helpful and supportive!

See if the dresses can be returned, I like some of the ladies said, take them out just to let you and they're hair down. I am sorry that you have to deal with such a heartache.

Im so sorry! *hugs*

I had a bridegroom cancel a wedding in January of this year. The wedding was scheduled for June. Because the wedding was for a former co-worker that I have known for years (I wouldn't necessarily call her "friend") I gave her a tremendous discount on the wedding package as a gift. Now, the wedding is back on and I have to start from scratch, because all vendors were cancelled etc. She refuses to move the date. I am conflicted about the "gift" I had originally offered. Should I now charge her full price to plan a FULL WEDDING in 2 months? Where does Professional Courtesy start?

Any help/guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated.
