Meet the Team
Ashley
Owner & Buyer
Ashley is originally from the Dallas area, but has lived in New Braunfels with her husband Reece (NBHS class of 1995) since 2008. They have two boys who keep them on their toes. Ashley enjoys hanging out with her family and friends, dabbling in gardening, and relaxing with a good glass of wine after a long day. After graduating from Texas A&M, she founded a bridal boutique in Sacramento, California and operated it for several years before returning to Texas and acquiring Celebrations.
Ashley's love for high fashion and translating trends so they are approachable for real people, makes her the perfect owner/buyer for a premier bridal boutique in Central Texas!
Lisa
Store Manager
Lisa is a New Braunfels native with deep roots and a huge passion for the town and the people who live here! She and her husband Rebel have two grown kids- a son and a daughter, and the most perfect little grandson! They enjoy spending time with their family and love being grandparents. They also enjoy going to concerts and listening to live music. You can find Lisa and her husband with friends and family at the Comal River during the summertime.
She joined the Celebrations team in 2016. With a longstanding career in retail management and customer service, Lisa is passionate about providing a great customer experience and is always looking for ways to improve our store processes!
Sam
Business Development Manager
Sam and her hubby Jason hail from Odessa, Texas but the trees called to her family and they moved to NB in 2015. She has two teenage sons (send help or wine) and a houseful of pets (again send help). When she's not at work, she is working on projects around the house, acquiring more plants or reading fantasy romance novels. Judging by the chaos of her house, she probably mostly reading though.
Sam uses her Bachelors in Art to keep our store windows and website looking amazing. She joined the team in 2015 and loves using her creativity to help brides find their dream dress!

Crystal
Bridal Stylist
Crystal may have been born and raised in Oklahoma, but with 22 years of living in Texas under her belt we consider her our own. Her three daughters keep her pretty busy, but she always makes time for the important things: chocolate and reading. When she's not helping brides find their dream dress, you can find her cheering on her kids at school events or hanging with her husband.
If you are looking for your own personal hype woman, Crystal is your girl! She is bubbly and fun and genuinely wants you to see yourself in the best light.

Originally from the sunshine state of Florida, she moved to Spring Branch in 2020 (talk about a hard year to try to make new friends). When she's not at work, she enjoys her friends, her husband and happy hour!

Dani
Social Media
Dani recently joined our team to tackle social media. Though she is originally from the small town of Dickinson, Texas, she is currently a senior Fashion Merchandising major at Texas State! When she's not creating the cutest videos for the store, you can find her hanging out with her friends and family, going to the gym or letting down her hair at concerts. She loves to unwind after a long week by painting with her friends and a glass of wine.
Her love of fashion and digital marketing make her the perfect person to make content that keeps people clicking!
Kirsten
Bridal Stylist
Air Force Veteran Kirsten has lived all over, but she settled in Texas as fast as she could! She has four kids between the ages of 1 and 8 (including a set of twins!), so y'all pray for her sanity or send chocolate! To relax Kirsten enjoys going out dancing with her husband-to-be Zach, going to the shooting range or baking. Even though she doesn't bring us her baked goods, we still love having her on the team!
Kirsten is very detail oriented and no nonsense so she is great at quickly figuring out exactly what her brides are looking to wear for their big day!
