Profile

Their invitation-only referral list of roughly 80 vendors offers a reliable roster of top-notch bands, florists, videographers, photographers, D.J.’s, and more. The full planning service includes everything from the standard (staff, etiquette advice, and vendor relations) to the extraneous. The basic day-of package is perfect to ensure a scheduled, snag-free event without the extras. Prices upon request.

Key Departments

Bridesmaids

This wedding one-stop shop has bright, chic dresses from Coren Moore ($250 to $350); formal evening wear from Amsale Bridesmaids (from $270); and unlimited options from Thread (from $270).

Bridal Shoes

Hanlin's comprehensive bridal salon doesn't skimp on shoes, offering more than 50 different visions in white to keep you light on your feet. Among the offerings are a sexy slingback adorned with a single hand-beaded flower, a high-heeled pump modeled after Jackie O.'s wedding shoe, and a two-tone satin sandal with straps.

Wedding Invitations

Among their more than 90 brand portfolios are invitations by Smock, Arrabella, and Dauphine Press. Exclusive to the store is Oregon-based Studio Olivine, which makes delicate letterpressed invites. Prices upon request.

Veils

Wedding Library’s collection includes a crystal ball comb with alternating blue and clear Swarovski crystals ($80), as well as a supply of best-selling veils from Bride’s Head Revisited. Headpieces, from bun wraps to tiaras, are $175 to $1,000; veils start at $100.

I came here to see the Amsale bridesmaids dresses, but I couldn't believe everything that goes on there. There were a bunch of floors with the cutest stuff - I was in bridal overload. I got a great photographer and cute cards through them too. Great place - check it out ladies!

Cutest little wedding shop!

I went to the Wedding Library this past Saturday and had such a refreshing experience. This was my 4th appointment of the day, I was running about 20 minutes late and luckily they were still able to accommodate me. I found 2 beautiful dresses (loved the group discount, my girls will love me for that), I will be bringing my maid of honor back next week to make the final decision. Also the woman working in stationery was amazing! The shop was so cute, and was full of great wedding stuff. I would recommend The Wedding Library to any bride.
