Wedding Dresses Damaged By Fire, Weekend Weddings Hang In Balance
WYANDOTTE (WWJ) - It's a race against time for the owners of a Wyandotte bridal store -- after some wedding gowns were damaged from a nearby fire.
WWJ's Mike Campbell reports that they're trying to get several dresses cleaned before weekend weddings.
"Fortunately, the worst one went out this morning to have it cleaned," said Leslie Rogers of Bella Donna's Bridal shop.
Rogers says that customers and brides-to-be will know soon if restoration and cleaning efforts got the smoke and water damage out of the dresses they ordered has been effective.
As one dad said to Rogers, he doesn't want his daughter to smell like a smoked salmon on her wedding day, and Rogers says she doesn't blame the dad, she wouldn't want that either.
"Everybody has been really wonderful and we can't say enough to our customers ... how sorry we are that this happened. And we are doing everything we can to take care of them," said Rogers.
Rogers says Bella Donna's is calling every bride starting with the 11 that have weddings this coming weekend.
