What is your favorite part about helping brides and working for Charlotte’s Weddings? How long have you worked here?
I started working for Charlotte’s in November of 2009 and since then I have discovered that I pretty much love everything about working with brides. I love being a part of their wedding journey and especially helping them find one of the most important pieces of their dream day….their dress! There is just something amazing about being there for the moment when a bride looks at herself in the mirror and says “This is my dress!”
Do you have a favorite moment/story from working at Charlotte’s?
By far, my most favorite moment thus far has actually been with a bride’s Mom. My first appointment with this particular bride was so much fun…..she brought her Mom and a couple other friends and family members with her and they were all so excited and thrilled to be there. I really connected with this bride and we had a great time trying on dresses and creating her wedding look. At the end of the appointment, as we were finishing up the order, the bride’s Mom pulled me aside, gave me a big hug and just thanked me over and over again for giving her daughter a wonderful dress shopping experience. She had been looking forward to that day for a very long time and she said it was everything she had ever hoped for! It was a teary moment for both of us and one that I will never forget!
What kind of advice would you give your brides about dress shopping?
Do some preliminary homework before you start your shopping. Look online and at magazine pictures to get an idea about the various styles you like as well as the overall “look” you want to create for your wedding day. Share your findings with your consultant so they know where to start when pulling gowns for you, but also be open to trying on gowns that stretch your imagination. Bring a couple friends or family members with you to be there for this wonderful moment in your life, but stay true to yourself and remember that your dress is truly that…..yours! You will know when you have found “the one”!
What do you like to do when you aren’t working at Charlotte’s?
Spend time with my husband and two amazing children! I am completely in love with my little family and I take advantage of every chance I get to spend with them.
