Q & A with Chantelle's Bridal
What is the story behind Chantelle’s Bridal?
Chantelle’s Bridal began her life as Cinderella’s Secret in downtown Mount Vernon. Now, seven years later, she has grown up into our beautiful Chantelle’s Bridal located on “The Boulevard” in Burlington. Chantelle’s Bridal welcomes all of her clients with the same warmth and joy as she would if they were entering her home. Making memories for her clientele is a passion for everyone at Chantelle’s – memories we hope our brides and their families and friends will cherish for many years. Although we are in the business of selling gowns, clients will often hear proprietor, Jan Roxstrom, exclaim that its not about selling a dress, it’s about helping each lady realize how beautiful she is and that its her beauty that makes the gowns glow.
What does Chantelle’s Bridal offer brides-to-be?
Jan and the Chantelle team spend as much time as is needed for their clients to look at the wide range of gowns we have and to begin to focus on what features they prefer, which gowns meet those preferences, then hopefully finding the perfect dress to complete the magic of the visit. Appointments are encouraged since visits often take two or more hours and bringing your family and/or entourage always adds an exciting element to the visit. Regardless of how many people come with the bride, Chantelle’s Bridal associates always keep the bride first and foremost in their minds and their hearts. We know full well how thin the ice of confidence is for a newly engaged lady and how difficult it is to imagine oneself walking down the isle in one of these stunning gowns. We are also adept at balancing the likes and dislikes of the entourage with those of the bride, thus helping all of them embrace the bride’s dream –our ultimate goal.
What is unique about your boutique?
Chantelle’s Bridal offers gowns as varied as the flowers in a garden, as beautiful as Jack Frost’s pictures on your cold winter windows, and as refreshing as a spring rain. We take great care to offer sizes from 0 to 30 in our stunning array of inventory by unique designers EddyK, Moonlight, Adagio, DaVinci as well as our own custom line of gowns. In addition to bridal gowns, we offer gowns for the entire bridal party from mothers, to bridesmaids, to flowergirls plus gowns for any formal occasion including quinceaneras, galas, proms, homecoming, as well as first communion, baptism, and graduation. We consider it a privilege to help our clientel realize that they really can live their dreams!
Favorite memory at the Boutique?
I will never forget the faces of the brides when we have spent several hours trying on gowns, have narrowed the selection down to the top three gowns, then she tries them all on for the last time. When one of those gowns slips over her shoulders and we get it done up, nestle a veil in her hair, then step back to watch as the excited, shy glow gradually turns her into a blushing bride, it is burned into our memories. Then, she makes her entrance into the family room for all of her friends and loved ones to see what she sees ... a lovely bride in her picture perfect dress.
