Shopping for a Bride - Chol HaMoed

Question

Is it permissible for a bride to shop on Chol HaMoed in stores that are open as usual?

Answer

Shalom u’vrachah,

There is no permission for a bride to shop, unless it is not possible to buy after the holiday.

In any case, it is forbidden to buy in a store that is not open in accordance with halacha; that is, the store must make a distinguishing sign that it is not opening as usual.
