The bridal industry and the fashion industry are very much intermingled.  Certainly, the bridal industry has much to do with event planning, DJ's, Bands, party favors and fancy invitations.  However, the apparel aspect of the event is equally or very possibly more important. 
 
What bride would not want a beautiful wedding gown?  How many brides to be will obsess endlessly over the selection of their bridal shoes? 
 
In addition to worrying about the wedding fashion that they themselves will wear, brides also want to make sure that their bridesmaids, flower girls, and groom look their absolute best.  For that matter, it is important that the mother of the bride is wearing a first class mother of the bride dress.  Anyway, I think that we are all in agreement that clothing and fashion accessories are an important aspect of any wedding.
 
Understanding that bridal gowns, bridal shoes, veils, garters, etc., are important issues for the bride, I thought it would be a good idea to list places to find bridal shops.
 
One place to find stores selling wedding dresses would be the bridal clothing store directory section on Apparel Search.  From that bridal store guide you can also search for bridal shops by state.
 
In addition to directories, you may just want to go to some of the leading bridal shops.  Here are a few that may be of interest to you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You may also want to try directories such as Wedding-Dresses.com, shopwed.com, bestweddingsites.com, weddinggownsearch.com etc.
 
If you have not already done so, you can check the bridal shops by state directory.
