Pairing: George/Roger

Summary: Not every bride is calm or easy going when they arrive for their appointment. 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.
Not every bride is calm or easy going when they arrive for their appointment at Kuri Taylor’s Bridal Salon, and sometimes it takes two Taylor Employees to help a bride understand what she wants.
Bride to be Delia Eldorne wants everything.
“I like ruffles,” she tells George, “Oh, and beading, when it’s done with the lace? And the corset waist, really sexy, you know?”
George is beginning to feel overwhelmed by his client. While many times Taylor’s strives to match sales associate and client to match tastes, this appointment does not seem to be one of those matches, and George blames Store Manager Roger Conte for setting him up with the most dramatic customer to walk through the salon’s doors this week.
“And the mermaid silhouette is divine,” Delia continues as though she hadn’t noticed George’s slightly vacant stare.
She probably didn’t.
It may be difficult to find this bride a dress with everything she likes.
“Do you have a price point?” George asks her, because especially with as much detail as Delia has come in with, the price point may make all the difference.
“None!” Delia pronounces grandly, and George sighs. This may make the search for Delia’s perfect dress either easier, or infinitely more challenging. Taylor’s Bridal is known for its large selection of dresses and gowns.
It looks like it may be time to call in for backup.

Store Manager Roger Conte helps George pull from the storeroom, and they arrive back in Delia’s dressing room with a wide selection of dresses at every major price point.
It is George’s luck that Roger is the manager on duty and available, because something tells him that Delia is going to be a hard bride to please. But if there is anyone in the salon that knows glam and glitz, it’s Roger Conte.
The first dress is a definite no; it sleek outline and simple neckline aren’t enough to captivate a bride with stars in her eyes. As George returns the dress, Roger offers another dress, this one with a lot more glamour, to Delia and helps her to lace up the back.
The bigger, the better, in Delia’s opinion, but it takes both Roger and George pulling every over-the-top gown out of their stock room to please the finicky bride.
At long last, one dress gives Delia pause, and George helps her to step onto the plinth on the main floor while Roger rearranges the skirts around her. The dress, priced at fifteen thousand dollars, is encrusted in crystals. The sleek eggshell skirt clings to Delia’s form before fanning out dramatically at the knee, and the overall effect was certainly larger than life.
“What do you think?” George asks Delia, who fidgets in the mirror.
“I don’t know if there’s enough glitter,” she muses, twisting her hair up. “I think I should put some in my hair, and then I might like it more…”
George makes a desperate face at Roger, because this bride might well have a stash of sparkly stuff in her purse, and George really doesn’t want to get that all over everything and himself, regardless of Roger’s soft spot for everything sparkly.
“No, you don’t want glitter in your hair, darling,” Roger states firmly, pressing the comb of the veil into Delia’s hasty updo. “That is so gauche, but see?”
Rearranging the veil around the bride-to-be’s head, he steps back, and he and George allow Delia to take in her reflection in the three way mirror.
“What do you think?” George asks, silently crossing his fingers behind his back. “Are you saying yes to the dress?”
Delia twists to see the fall of the lacy train, down her legs and around the base of the stand she’s perched on.
She looks up and clasps her hands together. “Yes!” she says excitedly, and George and Roger breathe a sigh of relief.
Overall, it has been a successful day for the sales associates at Kuri Taylor’s Bridal Salon, but there are always more brides and always other sales.

At her December wedding, bride Delia Eldorne is married in her perfect dress in front of five hundred friends and family.
“She looks like a princess, absolutely beautiful,” her new husband states, unable to take his eyes off his bride. “She’s the most beautiful woman in the world.”
For Delia, it seems that Taylor’s Bridal Salon has helped her too to reach her fairy tale ending.
