Forest, I'm sure someone on here would be more than happy to get you signed up for Victoria's Secret catalogs...

Thanks in advance!
I have better idea. Forego the entire wedding thing, and live in sin for the first couple of years.

The divorce will be MUCH less painful and expensive that way, and when you finally decide that the "right" combination is there based on knowledge and experience, you will be able to go anywhere to buy the perfect bridal costume. Maybe it will even be the local tack shop...they sell a LOT of bridle gear, I hear.

A tack shop may have bridle gear, but it really would not make a bride look stunning at her wedding.

There is another store however that does offer bridal outfits, which make a bride look amazing!

The formal image in Lewiston is where I got mine.... They had a great selection and the service was VERY good... My husband got off his deployment from Iraq and propoased the end of July...we were married Oct 11th of that year... I started shoping the end of August... It was NO problem with alterations at all!!! They were GREAT!! Caldwell's on Center st. is where I got my hair piece.. they had nice ones there...My dress was like 265 dollars.... great prices too!!!
address
675 Main St, Lewiston - (207) 786-0310

While a filly may look nice wearing bridle tack, all brides look fantastic when wearing outfits from Victoria's Secrets.

I quite agree. I particularly liked the bridle thong that they developed for the opening of the Run for the Roses....

I've had a pretty good experinece with David's as well. We were broke college kids when I was shopping for mine and I didn't have the snooty condescencion(sp?) that I was expecting. Of course, the was way down here in hickville, too.

I am certain that you looked very nice too.

Speaking of getting things on a budget, I know that I have heard [perhaps from Gretchen Wilson] that if you shop around you can get the same 'darn' thing as Victoria's Secret has, but much cheaper elsewhere.
