I was talking to my girlfriend the other day about starting a blog about my amazing brides and the really special bonds we share during our 6 month soiree together. I was sharing how I really want the blog to cover the nitty gritty stuff that everyone wants to know. The good the bad and the challenging.  (It can't be all beads and sparkle barbie ya know, but mostly it is!)  I also love to find out the where the how many and the why's to there shopping list of bridal stores they are going to. (I'm a tiny bit nosy, what can I say.)  

First of all when I meet with the bride I'm always curious if are they're shopping all of the Orange County bridal stores?  How many wedding dress stores do they actually go to before they decide on a dress?  (I know its an experience many of you have been thining about for your entire life, some of you not so much.)  Are they shopping La wedding shops, New York wedding shops? Where are you going to shop?  My hope is to zero in on what exactly brings them to me and makes them an Erin Cole bride. Is it my amazing website?  Is it that you visited my retail store Erin Cole Couture Bridal back in the day?  Or is it word of mouth that you heard about one of your friends enjoying an amazing experience here?  Or maybe you heard that I love making custom wedding dresses? Reveiws perhaps? Either way I'm glad you're here. You never know, you might learn something important you dont want to miss. So let's get into it.

Upon meeting you, my mind is lining up all the important questions that are going to help us find YOUR dream dress. Some of the  questions I may ask are....Have you ever tried dresses on? Do you have any idea what you would like to wear to your wedding?  (Photos help a lot!)  Do you want a lace vintage wedding dress?  Do you want a low back wedding dress, or what about a short wedding dress? Is this a religious cerimony? Do you care what your fiance thinks? How much does your mothers opinion weigh in on you final decision? If you are from PA is it realistic for you to shop at bridal store in Costa Mesa?  I'm interested in finding out about all the serious info. How many people are you inviting?  What time of day is the wedding? Is this a destination wedding?  Its a long list... And just so ya know, we have plenty of time on our hands because we will be trying on all the Erin Cole wedding dresses while we chat for the next couple of hours soooo... I really want to hear ALL the deets. Something else that's important to me.....Are you going to wear moms jewelry with your dress?  Or maybe some hair jewlery? If your still considering other options then you definetly came to the right place because Erin Cole jewelry is where it all started for me.

Overall Im excited to share my most favorite stories, hilarious happenings and advice about all things wedding dresses and wedding dress shopping. The do's the dont's and the do whatever you want while queening it up in your bride era!
