I could literally talk about motherhood and running a business all day. I just want to share some of my experiences and how TJP has evolved as my family has (and continues) to grow. The Early Days of TJP I started The Jess Press before becoming a mom, and even before becoming a dog mom. When I quit my job in NYC, my business was my first baby. A few months later, we got Dock, our Golden Retriever (who is the best). A few years later, I began working through pregnancy and tran

2025 was the year of deliveries and installs for TJP. Over the past year, I’ve received more requests for them than I ever have before, which has been pretty wild (and amazing)! It is very very cool for me to be at the venue on the day of the wedding. Truly one of the most exciting parts of what I do! My Right Hand Gal: Trish Creating pieces for such a special day is incredibly meaningful to me. Sometimes it’s a bonus if I get to be there in person, and sometimes it’s my team

2025 was truly an amazing year, and one of the coolest things about last year was that so many brides trusted my vision and allowed me to innovate.

Ten years after their wedding, Mannikka and Luke decided to celebrate their anniversary with the most incredible two-day vow renewal. From the moment Mannikka and I started talking about what she wanted, I knew this one was going to be really really special! Mannikka and Luke live locally and they’re both warm, brilliant people who work in education in several different respects. Mannikka is truly one of the most fun humans I have ever worked with. She has this amazing infect

From new venues to returning favorites, and vibrant cultural celebrations to refined coastal palettes, 2025 has already been such an incredible year for me! Although I’m still waiting on a lot of galleries (to all my couples: please please share when you can), the first half of 2025 was filled with dream couples and incredibly thoughtful design moments. Without further ado, let’s check out my favorites (in no particular order)! Abby & Eric The Venue: Longwood Gardens  - Ken

A few weeks ago I was back in The Big Apple for the fall edition of New York Bridal Fashion Week! It was once again one of my favorite days of the year! I spent the day with my good friend Diane from Dee Kay Events , and we had an absolute blast. My biggest takeaway from the shows this time around was that all of the dresses were so versatile. My one word to describe it would be “transitional.” Almost every dress had the ability to transform (not only from day-to-night) or ha

Best. Experience. Ever. You may remember that in the Fall I was invited to New York Bridal Fashion Week (NYBFW) . And I LOVED it. To be invited back (this time for Spring NYBFW ) was the best compliment of my life! Shout out to WedVibes , as being a member allowed me to get into even more shows! This time I made a full day of it, and even spent the night with my friend Diane from Dee Kay Events at the Lotte New York Palace , which was awesome! The Shows Sareh Nouri This was
