For Durham and the other individuals behind The Collective, their work is deeply personal and fulfilling. These feelings are at their peak when a bride finds her dream dress.
“ When it’ s THE dress, sometimes the bride doesn’ t see it right away … but when they see it, the bride lights up in the most magical way. Their body language completely changes, sometimes they dance around the suite, sometimes there are tears( tissues are always ready!), sometimes big emotions with hugs and celebrations and of course, the bride answering one of The Collective’ s favorite questions—“ Are you saying yes to your dress?’ It’ s such an amazing feeling and will give you goosebumps every time.”
