We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a bridal accessories store:

#1: Vivian Chan, founder of East Meets Dress:

We chatted with with Vivian, founder of East Meets Dress ($50K/month). In our interview, Vivian says:

When we first started, we had no experience in fashion, e-commerce, or entrepreneurship. We simply had our own experiences as consumers.

Additionally:

We honestly never expected to get this far and to have become profitable so quickly. While we still don’t earn enough to replace our previous tech salaries and there’s definitely more room to grow for our business, we’re definitely proud of how far we’ve come in just a year.

Further:

When you start a business, there will be a million different things that you’ll need to and want to work on. Focus on accomplishing one rock (the important tasks that will actually move the needle) a day, no matter what and time-bounding it to a few hours at most.

Go for a product/s you believe in. If you aren’t inspired or feel positive about the products you are selling. You will find it so boring having to find the products and put them on your website.
