If for example I complain about such call, the company that called will have to pay a large fine. This is why it really works here. If a florist or a venue knew they had to pay $10,000 fine, they wouldn't do it. It's a lot of money for any business to "throw away"! There are other ways to bring in new clients.
Now, it doesn't stop David's Bridal from giving out your personal information though. I suppose there's nothing much you can do here. You all can just post it on the forums and blogs and sooner or later, more people will know and try to avoid dealing with this company. Wedding business is largely based on referrals and more and more people are starting to use the internet for their wedding needs. Next time someone is searching for their name, this thread may come up. They definitely don't want that!
