| 1. | Research Topic: Provide a broad research topic for your study. | The Role of Diversity and Inclusivity in Bridal Services – Addressing gaps in the industry and creating a welcoming space for all brides. | |
| 2. | Research Question: This research question should directly address the problem you’ve identified, and the gaps you aim to fill in your study. | How does the lack of diversity and inclusivity in bridal services impact the experiences of brides from different cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and what strategies can be implemented to create a more inclusive bridal industry? | |
| 3. | Research Problem: This should be a specific issue or gap in existing knowledge that your research will address. | Many bridal salons, makeup artists, and hairstylists lack the necessary training or products to serve a diverse clientele effectively. This research aims to identify the gaps in inclusivity within bridal services and propose actionable solutions to create a more welcoming and representative industry. | |
| 4. | References: Find two references for your study, use the google scholar search engine. | Cain, S. (2020, September 15). 8 Tips for planning a multicultural wedding. Brides. https://www.brides.com/story/tips-for-planning-multicultural-wedding Elad, B. (2023, January 9). Wedding industry statistics—By traditions, demographics, places, seasons or time. EntrepriseAppsToday. https://www.enterpriseappstoday.com/stats/wedding-industry-statistics.html | |
| 5. | Literature Review - Critically analyze and summarize what the authors did in their existing research. Identify how your research will build upon the existing study. | Cain, S. (2020). "8 Tips for Planning a Multicultural Wedding." Cain’s article offers advice on blending cultural traditions in weddings, highlighting challenges in finding inclusive vendors for hair, makeup, and attire. While helpful for couples, it doesn’t analyze the lack of diversity in bridal services. How My Research Builds on This: I will examine industry gaps in serving diverse brides and propose ways businesses can improve inclusivity. Elad, B. (2023). "Wedding Industry Statistics." Elad provides wedding industry data on traditions and demographics but does not explore whether businesses meet diverse needs. How My Research Builds on This: I will assess whether bridal businesses are adapting to serve a diverse clientele and suggest solutions for greater inclusivity. | |
