Three brides-to-be, one bridal salon, and a million perfect dresses. The first bride may have said yes too soon, terrified she's purchased a gown (and perhaps more) that she might, in the end, despise. The second bride believes matching bridesmaid dresses are fascist and would rather end world hunger than register at Tiffany's. The third bride reminds us that it is truly not about the dress. Along with the wedding gowns - love, heartbreak, longing, and delusion are on display at a bridal boutique, exploring various permutations of the mother-daughter dynamic. 305-458-0604
