Add bridesmaids outfits, a veil, tiara and shoes and the deposit\ncan run into several thousand pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the first\nrule is to check out the shop \u2013 look on-line for complaints or problems \u2013 and\ndo a credit check on them for \u00a33.85 with checkaco \u2013 look out for county court\njudgements (CCJs) against the owners and their previous businesses. Anyone with\nCCJs should be avoided and certainly don\u2019t pay in cash but always with a credit\ncard. \n\nAnd it\u2019s not just the small shops or wedding\nshop chains to be circumstance about \u2013 remember House of Fraser of Fraser went\ninto administration with many people losing their deposits.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last summer Absolute Bridal Couture in Prestwich went bust leaving heartbroken brides to be without their dresses and out of pocket.
