Very Sweet Brides

Hi Everyone,
Today was a long day!! Usually Saturdays and Sundays are our busiest days! We had 100 appointments and the first one started at 9:30. I worked with a consultant named Allison who was really sweet. She is originally from Michigan, went to school there and then met her boyfriend and moved to New Jersey with him! She is so nice and let me really get involved with the brides. The first bride was in visiting with her mother. She had a picture of what she exactly wanted and I knew she would say yes to the dress. She tried on many but always came back to the specific one! It was very special when she did say yes and I was thrilled. This dress was $1,119. The second client we had brought a huge party of six with her. It was tough pleasing everyone, because they were all very opinionated. She found a beautiful dress that flattered her so well. The consultant and I thought for sure she was going to say yes, but at the end of the appointment she said she needed time to think and would come back before we closed to buy it. When a bride says that, it usually means no, but there was always hope that she would come back. The next client we had, had just had a baby three weeks ago and looked incredible! Her body was amazing for just giving birth to a baby girl! Her wedding was in September so it was a rush order which means only certain designers will rush a wedding dress and many consultants try to find one on the sample sale rack that will work with the bride so it is quick alterations. The consultant let me pick out a few dresses for this bride and I was really excited to finally have the hands on experience. I got to know the bride and find out what she wanted to look like on her wedding day.  It was so exciting to have picked a dress that the bride loved and felt beautiful in! The next client we had was with her mother and a couple of friends. She had been looking around for some dresses other places and wanted to try Kleinfelds out. She had just had back surgery so it was very difficult to get her in and out of dresses and to make her feel comfortable. She did not purchase a dress but she had a couple favorites that could be possibilities. Our last client was a comeback client and was very sweet. It was just her and her mother who came to the appointment and right away she found the dress she had wanted earlier. The designer, Lazaro was even at Kleinfelds today for his trunk show so he gave her a $500 discount. It was so sweet, the bride started crying.
After a very long day at Kleinfelds, I was really excited to go out with another intern and get dinner. She and I have become friends and has helped me when I asked questions about the subway. Her name is Lily and she is my age and lives in Pennsylvania but currently lives in her Aunts house near China Town.
I hope all is well,
I hopefully should be getting some roommates tomorrow!
Happy Endings from NYC
