Hey!
Where can I find the “Bride” tote at the top of this post?
Thanks!
Hey Julie! I found it at David’s Bridal under “sparkle sequin script bride tote bag,” but it seems to no longer be in stock. Bummer! ❤️
I bought the hanger months ago on Etsy to surprise my daughter before her wedding in July. Great quality. When she comes to pick up her dress at my house, the dress will be on it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the quality of this hanger, Seana! I’m sure your daughter will love it! ❤️
