Half Way

It has now been exactly 12 weeks since the first day of my internship at Twirl Boutique. There have been lots of experiences that sometimes makes me question wanting to get married and have a bridal party in general, but I love working there. Thus far I have learned a lot about the planning process of a wedding, how to deal with vendors directly, and how to market on a budget for small businesses like ourselves. Twirl is opening a second location in Chandler, AZ that will carry completely different designers than the Scottsdale store. This has been a great opportunity to see all the steps that are being conducted to get the new store up and running. I get to see the layout, designs, and policies in which the store will run. This is an exciting time because it is only 2 months out from opening day! The Twirl girls have been putting our heads together to make the new store just as good as the Scottsdale one.
I have become really close with the Twirl girls; we are a little family that loves to work with the everyday bride to make their wedding day a dream come true. I am happy that I am apart of it and excited to see what the next couple weeks bring as we get closer to opening the new store and hopefully me getting hired full time!

A Thread Event

One of our vendors is coming into town for a Trunk Show that we are having at our store. You may be wondering what the heck is a trunk show? Well it is when a vendor bring their newest products or products that are not normally sold in stores and showcase them for a certain among of time. It can be just for that day, or in our case, for the whole weekend. We are hosting this trunk show for Thread, which is one of our vendors that have just the most adorable dresses. Many of which could be used other than for a wedding. Melissa, who is Thread's representative coming to our store for this lavish event, is so excited to be coming and see our store. We having been cleaning and making our store sparkle for this special event. In loo of this event, tomorrow night, we are having a cocktail party for the designer. It is for previous customers, and those brides interested in a new line to come preview the trunk show dresses. We are having wine, champagne, appetizers, and good company to celebrate Thread. I am really excited because I have been calling our potential brides and bridesmaids to invite them to this party that I have helped implement and plan. The Twirl girls are all so excited for tomorrow and this weekend's festivities.
