When I got married I remember running around to multiple art/craft stores (with small wedding departments) and searching through tons of online sites where I wasn’t quite sure about color, size, etc. This was on top of running around looking for a dress.

What do you think about a retail shop that specializes in all things wedding? Carrying invitations, favors, bridal party gifts, guest books, decorations, etc. I would even have an area for local photographers to display their portfolios and hold monthly events like dress shows, wedding cake tasting, decor ideas, etc. Basically, I would carry everything except for dresses/tuxes and I would work with local bakeries, venues, bridal shops, photographers, limo companies to show off their merch/service as well.

Sound like it would be a hit? Any ideas or comments are welcome.
