When their faces light up I can see how proud Suzanne is. And in that regard, she will introduce dresses that they never thought they could wear. She is not pushy and wants her moms to be truly happy with their choice. She is honest above everything which is really what we are all about. It is truly something I know other stores wish they had. Inside the store, I am able to observe the way she interacts with her moms and brides. Socializing outside of the store is delightful and having Suzanne and Frank as friends has enriched our lives. We even persuaded Suzanne and her equally wonderful hubby Frank to join the Chaîne de Rôtisseurs, a dining group that we are proud to belong to! She still has so much energy in the store – I am not sure how she does it.Ī very loyal, incredibly generous, and thoughtful soul, she has become a true friend. She is a devoted wife and mother of two (her daughter Kaitlyn is also part of the Darianna team!) which keeps her busy enough, but she is also an active member in the local community theaters. She also has a wicked sense of humor that I personally have come to depend on. She runs a tight ship, is controlling as hell over the department (LOVE!), and has a wicked knowledge of brands, fabrics, colors, prices, deliveries, alterations, and pretty much anything related to bridal/MOB. Suzanne is our Mother of the Bride/Groom Department Manager and made after my own heart.
MOTHER OF THE BRIDE WEDDING DRESSES SERIES
Today I am excited to start our series of Staff Appreciation with Suzanne Ardite. It isn’t always “fun”, but they do have fun together. We notice and appreciate that our staff gives 100% all year long and while it isn’t always “easy”, they make it look easy.

Part of taking care of them, I believe, is to highlight how special they are.Īll too quickly the days turn into months and it is easy to wonder if those around us even notice our contributions. It is important to us as a family business that we take care of our staff.
