The brides would have a little pageboy carry the bouquet for her.

Women back then weren't exercising, they weren't doing much more than picking up a needle. They didn't have shoulders and backs like modern women.

They used and reused. This was not a throwaway society.

It's a more intimate setting. We wanted our brides to have a good selection but be able to remember everything they saw. Some of the larger shows are just so overwhelming.

[Dear David Inman: My husband and I remember a show called] Here Come the Brides. ... bad guy.

Which is nice, because it means brides can come in, and they don't have one type of gown to pick from.
