Please tell us a little more about your business.

"Jessica's On Main has been open for almost two and a half years and is the culmination of a lifelong dream. My daughter Jessica and I would see empty buildings at different places in our area and jokingly say, 'That would be a great place for a bridal store!' Well, one day I was sitting in the car with my husband at a stop sign. Across from that intersection was an old empty historic building that was owned by a friend. My husband flippantly said to me, 'Why don't you put a bridal store in Kelly's old building?' Needless to say, the rest is history. We bought and restored that historic downtown building and Jessica's On Main was born. I am happiest when the store is full of brides and prom girls looking for their perfect dress. I am also incredibly thankful that I get to work hand in hand with my 14-year-old daughter Jessica who has an amazing eye for all details bridal and prom."

What sets you apart from others? Why should a bride choose you?

"We are small enough that I, as the owner, get to take a personal interest in every bride that walks through my door. We also offer a very special bridal appointment experience. I allow two hours for a bridal appointment and never limit the number of dresses a bride can try on within those two hours. I also provide refreshments as a part of the experience. We hold our bridal appointments in our bridal suite that is a two-room suite separated by double wooden doors. One side is a lounge where the bride's family can relax and enjoy each other's company while they wait to see the bride in her selections. The other side is where we assist the bride in getting into and out of her selections. We then swing open the beautiful wood doors to present the bride to her family and friends. It is very private and I hope each and every bride leaves feeling as special as they are."

What inspires you to be in the wedding industry?

"The bridal industry is incredibly inspiring to me. The opportunity to play such an important role in a couple's beginning is something I do not take lightly. And the opportunity to work with such beautiful articles is a dream come true. I am so blessed to be in this industry!"

What do you love most about working with couples?

"What I love most in working with couples is to see the look on the bride's face when she knows that the gown that she has on is 'the one'! It's hard to have a bad day when you get to be a part of emotions like that."
