Diana's Bridal Internship​

About

I was given the amazing opportunity to Intern for Diana's Bridal this past summer, Summer of 2021. When I think about my career goals after graduation, my top two choices are a career in Visual Merchandising and becoming a Stylist. Going into this internship, my goal was to grow my knowledge on a new area of the fashion industry, one that is very different from traditional retail. During my time at Diana's Bridal, I was able to utilize what I have learned in the field of Visual Merchandising through classes at school, and what I have learned about styling through real life experience to continue learning and gaining more knowledge within all of these areas. I was also able to learn the backends of the business and what goes into owning your own boutique. Please scroll to read and see about my experience at Diana's Bridal and what I was responsible for on the day-to-day basis. Upon my internship ending, I was hired on as a Hostess for the boutique.

General Upkeep & Organization

The business very much runs on general upkeep and organization. 

Visual Merchandising

Visual merchandising tasks consisted of changing out window displays for the different seasons, dressing mannequins, developing color stories and rearranging the floor to make it look uniform.

Business Buying

I was able to take part in the buying experience and got to take a look at how this works in the Bridal Industry.

Alterations

Being able to assist in back of house alterations was probably one of my favorite parts of the internship experience.

Made sure all dresses and veils were steamed and ready for pick up.

Sales & Styling

To prep for appointments, I would put together accessories such as jewelry, hair pieces, and veils together so that it was ready to show our bride.
