SENIOR SALES & CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER

Hi, I’m Jordan! I’m a Houston native who loves spending time with my kids, staying active, and enjoying a good meal at Lupe Tortilla (at least a couple times a week). My favorite part of

working at Whittington Bridal is connecting with brides and their families, bringing a little laughter into the experience, and sharing the joy of finding “the one!” Having been a Whittington bride myself, I love creating that same unforgettable experience for as many brides as possible.

OPERATIONS MANAGER

Hi, I’m Lillian! I’m from Crosby, Texas, and when I’m not at the salon, you’ll usually find me following college football (Geaux Tigers!), cheering on the Astros, or keeping up with Formula motorsports. I love spending time with my Mini Aussie, Whiskey, staying connected with friends, and unwinding with a good book or my knitting. One of my favorite parts of working in bridal is building genuine connections with my brides and truly understanding who they are, so I can help create an experience that feels personal, meaningful, and completely them.

Hi, I’m Victoria!

My favorite part of working in bridal is connecting with my brides and helping them find their perfect look. When a bride gets emotional finding “the one,” I’m truly honored to be a small part of that journey – and don’t be surprised if you catch me tearing up right alongside her.
