I created the shop I wished existed: calm, honest, and completely focused on you.
01
KAREN
The customer service at Bridal by J is unparalleled, but also having unique dresses and designers that other stores in the area don't carry was so huge. I didn't have to travel crazy far to find what I was looking for, and having the private appointment made the dress shopping experience such a special experience.
"Jess understood the assignment: I wanted something a little dramatic, but flowy and fit the vibe of a mountain top and she knocked it out of the park."

She truly listened to my vision and brought it to life so beautifully, it was everything I had hoped for and more. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and warmth made the process not only easy but genuinely enjoyable. I fully trust her and am so grateful to have had her by my side for such an important part of my wedding journey!
"From the moment I walked in, Jess made the entire experience feel so personable, relaxed, and special."

Absolutely blown away by Bridal by J! Jess, the owner, is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and at ease. Jess catered to every need and request with such grace and professionalism, truly going above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect dress. If you're looking for a perfect dress and an exceptional experience, look no further than Bridal by J.
"They have an incredible talent for listening and understanding exactly what you're looking for.
hear from our brides
Jess has spent most of her adult life helping brides find the one—first as a stylist, then as a store manager, and now as the owner of Bridal by J. After nearly a decade in the industry (and planning a wedding of her own), she knew there had to be a better way: a calmer, more intentional experience that actually felt good.
So she built it.
Jess is the kind of person who will cry with you over your dress moment and then crack a joke five minutes later. She has an eye for fashion, a soft spot for sentimental details, and a deep belief that your bridal appointment should be about you, not the sale. She’s also a mom, a dog lover, and a big fan of making people feel comfortable in their own skin.
