Why Work with Christine?
-How long have you been in bridal.
I entered the bridal market over 3 years ago after having worked several years in fashion. It is a marriage of all my passions...fashion, weddings, events and sales.
-Who is your ideal bride as in style, venue, etc (think the perfect client)
My ideal bride is the one who comes in open minded. I love when she has one idea of what she wants but then taps into a "wild card" and is suddenly, and unexpectedly, affected. To watch that moment of connection happen, it is magical.
-What are some things past brides have said about you/your style and/or complimented you on.
I would defer to these favorite reviews for both brides and evening/moms/bridesmaids.
"I was getting so nervous and then we met our consultant, Christine. She was our lucky charm. She was so patient with me and truly listened to every word I said. She would provide suggestions and provided great feedback. She was respectful and so knowledgeable about the dresses in EJ. She made me feel comfortable and didn’t shut down any of my wild ideas. She really took the time to walk through everything. She truly gave me the confidence that I would find my dress here and guess what!? I did!"
"Working with Christine was truly a wonderful experience. I felt instantly like my best friend was right there with me as she pulled the perfect dress for my daughter’s wedding that matched my personality, shape and coloring while exuding enthusiasm and joy. She is not only extremely talented but has a personality that you can’t help but fall in love with. Thank you so much for making this leg of the journey memorable and fun."
"Thank you to Christine who took additional time to speak with me prior to coming in to get to know me and really listen to what I was looking for in a wedding dress, and was there for every fitting leading up to my wedding day making sure that my dress, veil and hair piece were perfect."
"My bridal consultant, Christine, went above and beyond my expectations. For the entire week leading up to my appointment, she went out of her way to get to know me and learn more about what I was looking for in my gown. I would send emails late at night, not expecting a response, and instantly she would respond so personable and friendly. Christine’s professionalism and expertise made me feel so comfortable just walking in the door because I felt like I already got to know her beforehand. She was able to turn my bridal dress shopping experience around and helped me find my dream dress!"
-What makes you a good consultant?
I think having patience, open communication, being knowledgeable about the product and the history of the designer and creating a relationship allowing the bride to trust me. From the prequal to the follow up, I like to go the extra mile for them and am accessible at all times. I hope to take the "worry away and give them a stress-free experience" and guide them with fun and excitement.
-What's your favorite dress or designer we carry at EJs (or both):
I can't possibly pick one favorite!! Every gown has a bride out there waiting for her...
-What's your favorite part about this job?
THE MOMENT....watching a bride connect with a gown and to see her vision come to life and her feeling her very best is the most rewarding part for me. Those who have worked with me know, when I see that happen, the goosebumps arrive!
