Famous Dress Shop Closing In New York State?

The wedding season is here across New York State and there is a good chance that you have been invited to at least a few of them. Perhaps the refrigerator door at your house is filled save the date and invitations to weddings in 2023?

The latest reports say that guests will spend even more this summer to attend a wedding. As prices for meals go up and the cost to travel increases, guests will be shelling out more and more money to watch their friends and family tie the knot.

As the anxiety is up to be a guest this year, the feeling is doubled for those who are preparing to get married. There are reports that one of the most popular dress shops in the nation and here in New York State is filing for bankruptcy.

What is the average cost of a wedding dress these days? For most brides and those planning a wedding, the largest costs are the facility, the dress and the cake. The dress in 2023 can run you anywhere around $2000 and up.

What will happen when you go to a David's Bridal this year? You may see less and less help. CBS is reporting that layoffs have already started.

David's Bridal plans to lay off 9,236 employees in three waves between April and August, according to a notice posted Friday on Pennsylvania's Department of Labor. As of April, the company had about 10,000 employees — 2,000 full-time and 8,000 part-time. The company said in a statement Monday that some layoffs have already begun.
