My mom is closing her bridal store.  She just made the final decision this morning.  We've been talking about it for a couple months, but we just got a call from the party we thought were going to buy it and they backed out...so looks like we're closing.  Its sad.  My mom has owned the store for 5 years and did everything herself from the mosaic tiled entry to the huge white dupioni silk drapes leading into the "prom room" to the white painted "B" on the wall behind her desk.  She's really sad...and freaking out...but the bridal industry in is the dumps.

BUT...

For anyone needing dresses, here's your chance, she is going to have a liquidation sale starting tomorrow.  She is in Stockton.  But I can always get pictures/prices of the dresses and email/PM to anyone looking for something.  I told her to take snap shots today b/c I told her my PW girls my just take me up on the offer :)

The designers she carries (off the top of my head) are:

Augusta Jones

Alfred Sung

Barbara Allen

Janelle Berte

Sonia Chollette

Justin Alexander

Bill Levkoff

Dessy

After Six

Jovani

Scala

Flip

I think there are some others, I'll find out.  I know she has some flower girl dresses too.

The only great thing coming out of this is that she is moving to Roseville by me :) But, she is freaking out about not having a job right now....sigh. 

Keep her in your thoughts that she finds a job!

EDIT:

I just talked to my mom and she said she has the following BM dresses:

Bill Levkoff, Style No. 555 in taupe sizes: 14, 12, 8, 0, 2, 24, 28, 18, 6, 16

Display flower girl dresses:

Dessy, Style 4002, ivory with rose sash, size 6

Dessy, Style 4004, ivory with ice pink skirt, size 8

Dessy, Style 4001, ivory, size 5

Augusta Jones, ivory, medium (size 4-6)

She said she has veils too.

She has a couple shoes by Special Occassion, Dyeables, Grace and Salon so if you need shoes, PM me and I'll see if she has what you're looking for.

Thanks again gals :)

Sorry to hear that. I feel bad getting marrried, when the economy is doing so bad. But I'll keep you and your mom in my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear that. :( I can't imagine going through something like that after all the hard work she's put into it. But, I'm a firm believer in the saying "Everything happens for a reason" and hopefully something really positive will come out of this. It's great that she'll now be closer to you. :) Good luck...I'll be sending well wishes her way.

oh no! i'm so sorry!  i'm very happy she is moving closer to you. nothing beats having your mom by your side. but i'm sorry to hear all her hard work is coming to an end w/ the salon. sometimes that happens. closing the business is the best choice for health and sanity especially during todays economic state. i wish her the best in finding a good job and on the move! xoxo
