Summary: When it’s Midsummer at the salon, the stakes are high and tempers are on the rise. Welcome to Kuri Taylor’s Bridal Salon, the leading edge in bridal fashion in Corus.
AN: Bridal Salon!AU …Help I broke my brain and everything hurts what is this help.
When it’s Midsummer at the salon, the stakes are high and tempers are on the rise. Kuri Taylor’s Bridal Salon is in full swing, because every girl’s dream is to find the perfect wedding dress. Today the pressure is on for the consultants to outdo themselves.
Store Manager Roger Conte prepares the staff for a bride-filled day.
“Our schedule today is packed; we absolutely cannot go over with our appointments.”
The last time that had happened, Roger had been called in for traffic control and general chaos managing, and George had landed himself in the Manager’s office for emergency debriefing and what to do if the bride decides to take things into her own hands.
It really wasn’t George’s fault that the bride wanted the bodice of one dress and the skirt of another.
Roger still refuses to believe that George unknowingly left the bride alone in the dressing room with a pair of fabric shears.
The bride left with no dress, and Roger made George explain to the designer what had happened to her two dresses.
But that was in the past.
Sales Consultant George Cooper’s first bride of the day is waiting when the meeting ends.
“Good morning!” George greets the woman with a wide grin. Thayet jian Wilima is engaged to Jon Conte, the cousin of Store Manager Roger Conte, and has come to Taylor’s Bridal in search of her perfect wedding dress.
“Have you tried on any wedding gowns before?” George asks, and Thayet smiles broadly.
“I have; I like the trumpet or modified ball gown silhouettes. Absolutely no mermaid dresses, and nothing translucent or with see-through paneling.”
Checking his clipboard, George sees a note left by Roger for this appointment. “It says here that your fiancé—“
“—Ignore what my fiancé said, please,” Thayet smiles firmly, and George nods. This is looking like the beginning to a pleasant appointment, even if his client is already disagreeing with his boss.
*
Down in alterations, one bride is already objecting to the work being done on her dress, and Store Manager Roger has been called in to try and placate the irate young woman.
“It doesn’t fit!” Josiane Rittevon insists when Roger finds her in front of the mirror, pulling harshly at the delicate lace and tulle of the dress’s skirt. “It is loose here, and here,” she mentions, tugging at the top of the sweetheart neckline bodice as well.
“Let us see what we can do; have you lost weight since your initial fitting?” Roger asked through gritted teeth, striving towards patience in the face of a stereotypical bridezilla.
Josiane gasps indignantly. “No! I have been on a strict diet, and my wedding is in less than a month—“
With the bride about to lose the remnants of her calm, Roger and alterations expert Gareth “Duke” Naxen work together to streamline the panels of the bodice and gather the delicate material of the skirts to help the tulle fall in a more flattering manner without anyone—client or manager—being accidentally stabbed with pins.
When Roger returns to the sales floor, he gives George a ‘look’, and George gleefully waves from outside the dressing room of his sane bride-client. It’s a good morning in the salon.
*
Meanwhile, George may have found Thayet the perfect dress, an understated gown in ivory silk with a dramatic open back and glittering embellishments highlighting her assets. All that remains to be seen is how the bride feels when she shows it to her mother and maid of honor.
Stepping delicately out onto the showroom floor, Thayet is met with gasps and stunned laughter as her mother, Kalasin, and maid of honor, Buriram, see her in the dress for the first time.
The bride and her mother share a hug before Thayet even sees the dress in the mirror, and it takes only a moment for George to seal the deal. Thayet and her mother go home with a beautiful dress with crimson accents for five thousand dollars, and George Cooper adds another commission to his accomplishments for the day.
