PROSPECTIVE brides and grooms are expected to flock to the Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork, today for the chance to get their hands on cut-price wedding dresses and suits.

BRIDES and grooms are being offered the chance to get their hands on €250,000 of cut-price wedding dresses and suits next week following the collapse of a plush Cork bridal shop.

Almost 200 panic stricken brides-to-be were today given a guarantee they would have a dress for their big day after an exclusive bridal store in Cork city closed down without warning.
