Custom-Made Gowns, Just For You

If you thought designer gowns were reserved solely for celebrities walking the red carpet, think again. A handful of New Jersey salons are offering to create your custom wedding dress, perfect for your own walk down the aisle.

Designer Gowns

There’s never been a more fashionable time to get married.

Ask The Experts: The Wedding Store

Even though her store is tucked into the northwest corner of the state, a visit with Judy Fletcher, owner of The Wedding Store at Liz Clinton in Andover (973-786-5330; myweddingatlizclintons.com), is definitely worth the trip.

Nicole Miller Comes to Livingston
