My first day as a sales associate at A Trace of Lace Bridal Boutique was a lot like what I imagine planning wedding to be; exciting, busy, a bit stressful and utterly hopeful. We opened at 11- as we do every Sunday and shortly we were swamped with brides to be, supportive bridesmaids, nervous brides taking their altered dresses home and three staff making sure that the exciting step in the engagement process of choosing a bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses is as fun as experience as it should be.
Some brides are nervous. The dress comes on and in the three way mirror- up on pedestals, they see not only their beautiful selves but the future that is one ceremony away. Some brides are so excited at the thought of trying on such stunning gowns, with family and friends by their side, basking in the glory that is the engagement. Other brides are uncomfortable, not used to the attention on them. Not thrilled with their appearances- even in the dress of their dreams. These are the brides that I am focusing on in today's post.
These are the brides that are forgetting that the reason they are at A Trace of Lace is because someone thinks the world of them. Their fiance's chose them and no one else. Their fiance's think that they are beautiful and wonderful. The love of their lives thinks that they are worthy of the dress of their dreams and I, as the newest staff member of A Trace of Lace think that they are beautiful and worthy as well. I think that they should open the curtain to their dressing rooms and step on to that pedestal, standing tall. They should look into the three way mirror and see the beautiful woman and soon to be bride that their fiance's see every day!
