I browsed the site at her suggestion, and was just as impressed. What a great selection! I made my appointment to take a look around the first chance I got. They were very accommodating, as I do not have the most flexible of schedules. Stay tuned for the update on the appointment!

As you can see I am a fan of the vintage look!

I logged onto this website and GUESS the designers that were there. Vera Wang. Monique Lhullier.  Platinum from Priscilla of Boston.  Kenneth Pool.  But that’s not the best part.  These dresses are samples, so that means they are 50 to 75 percent off the retail price!!!  I was staring at the computer screen with every mouse click thinking, are you KIDDING me??  Needless to say, I have signed up with them on the site and have printed off a list of my favorite gorgeous lace Moniques.  I HIGHLY recommend this site (www.bridepower.com) – and if you have a chance to visit their store, you should.  I already made my appointment.
