In the wedding industry we talk a lot about the phrase “I do”. We haven’t said much over the last month about how Black Lives Matter or sent emails wishing customers a joyous Juneteenth or a happy Pride with rainbow flags and black squares everywhere because in the 10 years of running Mignonette Bridal and Ette Tailor, our ethos is that we don’t say, we DO.
-I DO run a black-owned business.
-I DO run an lgbtq+-owned business.
-I DO have a diverse staff because I have the best staff in the world, and hiring for talent means casting the net widely.
-I DO believe that surrounding ourselves with good people of all kinds makes life richer.
-I DO want every client who comes through our doors to feel welcome, safe, and cared for, and I can’t offer that experience if my company only shows one kind of face to the world.
-I DO challenge everyone to keep the momentum and the conversation going once the hashtags aren’t trending anymore.
-I DO believe Black lives matter, and if that statement bothers you, I challenge you to ask yourself why.
-I DO ask you to join us in living a better world, not just asking for one.
We are proud of who we are and honored that you would choose us to be part of your wedding story.
With love,
Kpoene’, Anne, and the staff of Mignonette Bridal and Ette Tailor
