Meet Your Bridal Stylists

Taelor Hodges, Owner & Lead Stylist

Hi, I’m Taelor, the proud new owner of Juniper James! While I didn’t start this beautiful boutique, I was thrilled to take the reins in November 2024, bringing my passion for weddings and curating unforgettable experiences to this wonderful space. My journey began eight years ago as a wedding planner, helping couples craft the most memorable days of their lives. I have a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from Appalachian State, where I developed a deep love for creating exceptional experiences and curating moments that leave a lasting impression.

I’ve always been enchanted by the wedding world, and after marrying my amazing husband in 2017 and becoming a mom to our sweet little boy, I was inspired to bring my love for hospitality into a new chapter of my life. Juniper James is a place where brides are treated like family, celebrated at every step, and guided to find a gown that makes them feel as radiant as their love story.

Outside of the boutique, I love indulging in date nights at romantic, moody restaurants (they’re my absolute fave), thrifting for hidden treasures, and traveling to explore new towns. I also love spending time with my family outdoors—whether it’s hiking, lake days, or a fun game of pickleball, I’m always making memories with the people I cherish most.

I’m so honored to be a part of your bridal journey and can’t wait to help you find the perfect gown that will make you feel beautiful, loved, and celebrated.

Why I Love Juniper James?

What drew me to Juniper James is the unique, magical atmosphere that’s felt as soon as you step inside. There’s something so special about this space—it’s a safe, welcoming environment where every bride can feel like the center of attention, free to embrace her journey. I love how Juniper James has reimagined the bridal experience with its vintage, eclectic aesthetic, softened by a playful, girly twist and unexpected decor that makes it feel like no other boutique.

But my absolute favorite part is witnessing that unforgettable moment when a bride knows she’s found “the one.” The look of pure joy, the happy tears shared with her mother or loved ones—it’s the most magical, intimate part of the experience, and it’s an honor to be a part of those moments.

Jenn Page, Stylist & Social Media

Hi, I’m Jenn and I have been a devoted member of the Juniper James team since 2022, bringing my deep love for fashion and bridal styling to every appointment. I am currently enrolled at the Parsons School of Design in New York, expanding my knowledge of textiles, fabrics, and fashion design to further fuel my passion for the industry.

Outside of work and school, I am a proud mom of three. Being a mom is one of my greatest passions. I love spending quality time with my family, whether that’s putting puzzles with my mom, enjoying a perfectly crafted cocktail, or simply soaking up moments with my large, close-knit family.

I am passionate about bridal styling and love meeting new people while sharing in the beautiful, emotional journey of finding the perfect gown. There’s nothing more rewarding for her than witnessing a bride light up when she finds the one and being part of such a special experience.

Taylor Walker, Stylist

Hello my name is Taylor and I’m so excited to be a part of the Juniper James girl tribe! After graduating from Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte in 2022 with a Fashion Merchandising and Retail Management degree, it only grew my love and interest within the fashion industry. Wedding gowns are truly a masterpiece and I love being able to be a small (yet extremely) important piece into every girls dream wedding! Being able to expand and grow within my own love for fashion and showing others how fun and unique you can be with a little magic brings me true joy.

In my free time I enjoy spending every second with my sweet nephews and being surrounded by family. I’m so happy to be back in the mountains and in my hometown!

I am beyond excited to be a part of your journey as your stylist
