Weddingbee boards

What exactly are you looking for?  Land of Oz is great if you're local, but I wouldn't drive 2.5 hours to check it out.  If you're looking for dresses, there are a few bridal districts that have a great selection and cover the majority of the designers.

Reading's bridal district includes Bridal & Formal which is one of the largest stores in the country.  They have dresses for every budget.  The sales reps can be hit or miss, but I personally had a great experience there.  European Bridal and Cincinnati Bride are right across the street from Bridal and Formal and are much smaller stores that carry different designers.  Also along Reading are some florists, alterations specialists, shoes, invitations, cakes, etc, but if you're out of town, they probably wouldn't be much help.

There's also an area in Covington (northern KY) that has some shops.  Fabulous Bridal is a very nice dress shop with some of the higher end designers.  They also have some of the cheaper designers, and the feel of the store is just more luxurious.  Madison Avenue Bridal is a more budget friendly shop in the same area.  Once again, they have all of the other vendors conveniently located. 

Sorry for writing a book.  Hopefully, it at least answered your question :)
