Guests: Christin Claflin & Jayden Bredvick | Bisous Bridal & Prom
What if finding the perfect dress was about more than fashion? What if it was about confidence, family traditions, and creating memories that last a lifetime?
This week on Get ’N’ Your Business, host Alison Shores welcomes mother-daughter duo Christin Claflin and Jayden Bredvick, the passionate team behind Bisous Bridal & Prom in downtown St. Marys, Georgia.
From their family's history in retail to their determination to keep a beloved local bridal and prom boutique alive, Christin and Jayden share how an unexpected business opportunity became a meaningful family adventure.
Their mission goes beyond helping customers find the perfect gown. Whether it's a bride seeing herself in her wedding dress for the first time, a teenager finding confidence in her prom look, or a military spouse experiencing her first formal ball, Bisous is about celebrating life's unforgettable moments.
The conversation also explores the realities of operating a small business, the importance of personalized customer service, and the exciting plans this mother-daughter team has for Camden County.
