Hi, Laurie -

Complementary businesses such as wedding planners, florists, photographers, etc. might be able to give you some leads.

Look for bridal boutiques online. Chances are, most or all will be hundreds of miles away. Then, you could email a few regarding any resources they might share. That could be a start to establishing a mentoring relationship.

You might also be able to locate an email discussion group for people with bridal shops. Try going to Yahoo groups, and search just as you would for websites.
