Meet Jackie

Originally from Iowa, Nearly Newlywed founder Jacqueline Courtney moved to New York to pursue fashion and life in the ‘big city.’ She received her design & management degree from Parsons the New School for Design before embarking on a career in fashion with positions at Barneys NY, Men's Vogue and Karla Otto NY.

Prior to founding Nearly Newlywed, Jackie worked as a publicist for international fashion designers including Marni, Thakoon, Matthew Williamson and Emilio Pucci, working with top stylists and editors at Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, and more. She also spent time with internationally renowned eCommerce agency Create the Group supporting the digital strategy of Marc Jacobs and Donna Karan, among other luxury brands.

A Note from Jackie:

Ladies, thank you so much for visiting Nearly Newlywed and considering a modern approach to such a special day. I know from my own experience how exciting and frustrating the wedding planning process can be, and I hope that we can help make things a little more pleasant, and special, for you.

If you have any ideas or questions for me you can contact me directly on twitter @nearlynewlywed and of course, for shopping queries and advice, pin me on Pinterest and we will get to finding the perfect dress for you.

I had a lovely wedding. I married the right guy in the right dress, but the road to finding it and selling it afterwards wasn't as easy as I would have liked. I hope that I can help you find the right dress, in a fun and upscale environment, so you can look and feel your very best.

xx
