Default Bow for Fiance (wife to be )

I'm looking for a nice looking 30-40# bow for my fiance. She started shooting traditional last summer, and I'd like to get her one for the spring. Or for our wedding as part of her LARGER gift. I'm getting her a new SUV.
It should be a 25"-27" Draw, 40# Weight MAXIMUM.
TAKEDOWN, GIRLY COULOURS...PURPLE, MAPLE, PINK, RED, Pretty so to speak.

Thanks all eh!

Any custom bowyer will be able to fullfill your request.

What type? Straight limb, Hybrid, recurve? My favorites are Ancient Spirits, Mon River, K&M, Lake Valley.

I know that any bowyer can make me one, I was seeing if anyone had a used one handy.
Thanks for the input.

It's a tough question. Only thing I'd advise is not to overbow her and not to go too short. Below is my wife shooting a 25# Bearcat (Bear Archery), the bow is I believe 68". This is her favorite bow.

What is she shooting at in the dark? LOL
Lower that elbow a little and her groups will be tighter.

I can see this is going to be a big thread..... pheww

She draws with a high elbow and cuts her fletch with her arrows, her groups are tight!!!
Ron King, she also has a fox breed recurve, longbow grip and recurve limbs, very nice also.
These were our new years eve pics:-)
