Store

Shopping for a wedding dress can be equal parts thrilling and agonizing when you're confronted with aisles and aisles of poofy white oblivion. Happily, I Do Bridal makes the search manageable by offering well-chosen selections from only eight designers, several of whom are based in Spain.

Got a yen to do yourself up in something inspired by the Queen of England? No problem. Earth-muffin "Little House on the Prairie" types will also find something here, as will anyone in-between those two extremes. Dresses start at a reasonable $399 and top out at about $2,500.

Large-sized brides will be relieved to see an excellent selection for them, too  not only to order, but to try on. And no matter who you are or what your style, it's worth a visit to consider the white bridal flip-flops adorned with plastic, pearly flowers for when you just wanna hang loose with the groom.

Formerly located in Wallingford Center, I Do Bridal has a new home just a few blocks west on the same street.

TIP: I Do Bridal has a sample sale rack throughout the year. And if you visit their booth at the January wedding show, make sure to get a discount coupon you can bring in with you later.
