122 Here comes the bride: The owner of 2 boutique retail stores gives us the real scoop!
LET’S GET TO KNOW TODAY’S GUEST, KRYSTAL DARLING!
She is a Mama, a kick-ass entrepreneur of not 1 but 2 businesses, and she’s a lover of all things fashion - like seriously, her style is amazing and I wish I had her wardrobe.
I first connected with Krystal while searching for my dream wedding dress - a quest that took me all the way to Bracebridge Ontario, since I knew her shop had the exact dress that I was searching for. It was so serendipitous & it just so happened, Dave and I had chosen a wedding venue just a few minutes away from the shop, as well.
My experience working with Krystal was nothing short of amazing. She made the whole experience super comfortable and enjoyable - especially for someone like me, who barely ever gets out of her lululemons and tank tops.
With an eye for unique and beautiful pieces - owning two boutique businesses is not just Krystal’s job, it's her passion.
She also owns a shop called Belle's Boutique, which is a carefully curated clothing shop that offers an array of exclusive fashion brands for women.
Also, might I point out that Krystal and I recorded this just days before she gave birth to her 2nd baby boy, Watson. Congrats, Krystal!
In this episode, we chat about…
-
How she’s been able to build something so much greater than just a retail store

The challenges she faced in starting a clothing business in a small & seasonal town

Why she decided to launch her second business, Darling Bridal Boutique in addition to owning & running Belle’s Boutique
