The Wedding Store at Liz Clinton’s in Andover (973-786-5330; myweddingatlizclinton.com) fills eleven rooms with anything and everything a bride might wear. “We invite brides to come spend a few hours here, in our comfy living-room setting,” says owner Judy Fletcher, “and walk away with total outfits for themselves and their attendants: gowns, jewelry, purses, and shoes; veils and headpieces; makeup ideas. Even lingerie and shower gifts. It’s one-stop shopping with exceptional service—and that’s why bridesmaids come back to us when they become brides.”

David’s Bridal, with seven New Jersey locations (800-399-2743; davidsbridal.com), takes head-to-toe dressing a step further. “What makes us different is our huge inventory, both in stores and online, plus our ability to totally color-coordinate your day,” says spokesperson Cindi Freeburn. “Start with your gown and a color—maybe canary yellow for a mid-summer wedding,” says Freeburn. “At David’s, you can run with it for bridesmaid dresses, bouquets, flower-girl sashes, your groom’s tie, invite borders, even ribbon to wrap favors. Because we manufacture every bit and piece brides need, we can color-match seamlessly.” Try their “Dress Your Wedding” feature online for yourself.

There’s more to a wedding than a pretty dress, and that’s where Party Divas, a new wedding center in Madison (973-377-1044; partydivasweddingandeventcenter.com), comes in. “I want to make planning easier for my clients, by keeping everything under one roof and coordinating all the details that make or break a wedding,” says owner Kathy Koscinski. Sweet Peas Flower Shoppe, Makes a Nice Wedding photographer, and deejay Chuck Russo are located inside her cozy storefront. Koscinski arranges back-to-back appointments with other seasoned pros there, too, making optimum use of a bride’s time. Meet with the florist at 9 a.m., photographer at 10 a.m., deejay at 11 a.m., tuxedo shop at noon, stationer at 1 p.m., caterer at 2 p.m., and soon you’ve pulled together the whole event.

For brides who are marrying later and working longer hours, one-stop shopping alleviates extra fuss and makes practical sense. All you miss is the dubious pleasure of racing around town with a dress swatch while previewing three photographers and four bands.
