Meet the Bride and Jewel Team

My favorite part about being a bridal stylist is seeing the look on brides faces when they find the perfect gown. I also love getting to know my brides on a deeper level and making them feel like their best self's!

I retired from an administrative career of 40 plus years in June 2024. I married my husband in 2000 and have four beautiful grandchildren with my two daughters, Rachel and Kelsie.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A BRIDAL STYLIST?

My goal is to make sure every bride I have the pleasure of meeting feels exquisite, special, and confident in her selection. As a mother myself I understand and acknowledge the emotions involved in this once in a lifetime moment and find myself crying with everyone else when a gown is selected. This is the job I've always wanted and truly believe I can make a positive impact on others.

I took a chance learning a whole NEW skill being a bridal consultant. I learned quickly that I enjoy making brides confident with their decision of finding that perfect dress. Knowing that when they walk down the aisle, I was part of that joyous day. 

 

Joan (Bridal Consultant)

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF- 

Hi, I’m Joan. It’s great to meet you. I’m so excited to be here at Bride & Jewel to help assist you. I’ve been in the fashion and beauty industry most of my life. During my career I have worked one on one with customers for hair, make-up and fashion plus I’ve also had a very corporate life traveling around the United States specializing in franchising and operations for a large beauty company. In my spare time I founded a non-profit organization that helps reunite lost dogs with their owners to get them home safely. I couldn’t have accomplished all of this without the support from my handsome husband for over 35 years.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A BRIDAL STYLIST?

It’s an honor to work here at Bride & Jewel helping brides look and feel as beautiful as they want to be. I can’t think of a more special experience than sharing a bride’s moment with them. Most have dreamed of this all their lives. I get to be part of that! I hope to see you here soon.
