The best selection of everything you need for you planning, ceremony, reception... everything. Just about everything that they have comes in every available color and style. I would recommend picking up anything you want personalized here. They specialize in make it yourself items (like your veil, ring bearers pillow, even bouquets).

I have been slowly buying do-it-yourself items from here. Their wide selection of printable invitations and other essentials is amazing. Even if they don't have it in the store, they will most likely have what you need on their website. And, if you do pick stuff up in the store, you can grab a scanner and add to your club wed registry while you are shopping.

This is the first place I went to look for dresses, knowing that they had good deals and their famous $99 sale. Just walking through the door they made me feel like I was the only bride there and they were very helpful with everything I needed. I ended up buying the first dress I tried on, but they didn't let me just stop at that one. Along with the two friends I brought with me, they picked out about half the store to make sure I got just the exact right dress for me. The only one that I truely said "I have to have this dress" turned out being "the one" and it was just my luck that we found my size on the manequin heading to the front to order it. I tired it on one more time (this made four times now... and they were still patient with me) and it fit perfectly... no alterations needed!! I couldn't have had a better experience or found a more perfect dress for my special day. I plan on going back for my bridesmaids dresses, my veil, and my shoes.
