A Day in a Bridal Salon as the brides come and go. The empoyees of the bridal salon have to make sure the store always looks clean, professional, and well kept. They need to make sure dresses are stocked and on the racks, and the front counter and entrance is clean and there is no clutter. The store must always look presentable.

When brides come in, the consultants get a feel of what she is looking for and help her shop around the store. After the bride hasa few picks she wants to try on, the consultants take her to the fitting rooms and help her into the dresses while getting a feel for what the bride likes and dislikes. It is very common for brides to second guess the dresses and continue shopping and trying on more dresses.

When the consultant can tell the bride loves a dress but she is second guessing herself, they like to “jack her up”. They accessorize the bride so she is able to see how she will look on her big day.

One of the biggest parts of “jacking a bride up” is the veil. It really helps the bride visualize what her wedding day will be.

There are many behind-the-scenes aspects to the bridal consultants’ job. They have to deal with bridesmaids and mothers as well, which means they have to make sure all of the other dresses are well They also have to make sure the window displays are well put together and up-todate.

They dress the mannequins for the store displays and the window displays. Everything needs to be current and clean.
