Are your local bridal shops your biggest allies, or just names on a list?
In this behind-the-scenes episode, I am sharing my takeaways from The Bridal Summit in Fredericksburg, Virginia, hosted by Wendy Rivera and Speak Bride University. From touring the dreamy Ava Lauren Bridal boutique to leading conversations between stylists and seamstresses, this episode is all about the power of collaboration in the bridal industry.
If you've ever felt unseen or misunderstood by your feeder stores—or unsure how to even begin building those relationships—this episode will inspire you to take the first step.
You’ll hear why bridal shops want to hear from you, how to position yourself as a resource (not a critic), and why seamless communication benefits not just the seamstress—but the stylist and bride too.
In this episode:
Why building genuine relationships with bridal shops is a win-win-win
The key differences between what stylists say and what brides hear
How Nadine leads compassionate conversations about alterations
What every bridal shop should know (but often doesn’t)
Tips for setting up your own local Q&A session—even if you’re nervous!
