I am posting this question four times, and look forward four independent answers. 


I know a street in Mexico City where many shops specialize in bridal
wear and wedding needs. They seem to be highly successful in
attracting business together offering variety by independent
retailers.

Are there other places/streets/malls where wedding related businesses
work successfully together anywhere else on this planet?

There are endless internet sites specializing on this, but I need to
find ?non-virtual? examples.
