A dream wedding has turned into a holiday from hell after three bridesmaids have been forced to pull out due to the Goldtrail travel crash.
Chief bridesmaid Vicki, 31, was due to fly to Turkey with husband Candost, 35, and their five children aged 11 to seven weeks for Ellen's wedding on August 4.
They were set to stay in a villa along with Vicki's mum, stepdad and his daughter,but all ten have lost their flights and say they cannot afford to rebook.
Two of Vicki's children Kira, 11, and Leyla, four, were also going to be bridesmaids and had dresses specially made for the big day.
Vicki, of North Parkway, Seacroft, said: "It's awful. The original wedding party was 24 and now it's ten."
I had saved and saved for flights and we booked last Wednesday.
"We have had dress fittings and Ellen had to have my daughters' specially made. She's bought everything, it's cost Ellen a lot of money and now she's three bridesmaids down."
Vicki says the villa the ten of them were going to share has also gone as the owner has allowed the current residents an extended stay due to the flights being cancelled.
Ellen, 32, lives over the road from the best friend she describes as "a sister" after they met through work ten years ago.
Ellen said: "She was only going to come for a week because that's all they could afford. I've got all the dresses and everything but there's nothing I can do.
"I really want her there. We are like sisters. I just feel absolutely gutted."
Vicki, who works in an opticians, and Candost, a chef, both met and married in Turkey in 2004 which gave Ellen and Stephen Barrow, 34, the idea.
The couple have been planning the wedding for the last 18 months and although the wedding will go ahead, Ellen is devastated .
The exhibition features around 20 dresses and accessories. Highlights include:
• A glass beaded silk crepe-de-chine wedding dress and train from the 1920s
• A wool cashmere and gold brocade wedding dress in the style of French designer Paul Poiret, 1913
• A beaded and sequined red satin wedding dress worn by a bride from Liverpool's Chinese community, 1966
• A crystal-beaded wedding dress worn by a bride from Liverpool’s Traveller community, 2010
Alongside the outfits and accessories are photographs and ephemera revealing the many and varied traditions of weddings from food, transport, venue and even the stag and hen "dos".
Goldtrail has appointed administrators Begbies Traynor and a dedicated website at www.goldtrail-insolvency.com has been set up to provide updates.
