Absolute best

I was so nervous going but they quickly made me feel at ease. I had came in with an idea of what I want and fell in love with the first dress they put me in. Megan was great making me laugh and enjoy the time I spent there. And pricing was very reasonable and they made sure to stay within my budget.

The best experience ever!!

Alec and the team here did such an amazing job getting me excited for my dress try-ons! They texted me a few days beforehand and got me all hyped up for my appointment. Alec is such a happy ray of sunshine and made me feel so beautiful in everything I tried on! I sent him my Pinterest page and he delivered!!

Found my perfect dress

This place goes above and beyond to help you find the dress of your dreams. I was so impressed with how friendly and professional the staff were. Alec, in particular, was so amazing. He helped me feel so beautiful in a dress that I wouldn't have thought to try on myself. It was perfect, to say the least! He really took the time to understand what I liked and didn't like and ended up suggesting a dress that ended up being the one I chose. It was such a good, uplifting experience.

Cannot speak highly enough!

If you are shopping for a wedding dress, PLEASE schedule an appointment here! What a wonderful group of consultants! I worked with Ella and she was amazing, but Megan and Alec were also phenomenal. They work so wonderfully together and are completely focused on making sure you have the best possible experience. They make sure you get exactly what you are looking for (and feel fabulous while doing it). I am so thankful for my experience here and would ABSOLUTELY recommend them!
PS: I said yes to the dress!!! 💐👰🏻‍♀️

To say I had the best experience wedding dress shopping at the Bridal Cottage is putting it lightly!

I can’t sing the Bridal Cottage’s praise enough!!! From the MOMENT I booked my appointment they made the experience so special - with texts to get my reference pictures, hear my story, and get me prepared and excited for such a special day. I was so nervous when I got to my appointment and Ella instantly calmed my nerves with her bright and bubbly energy! She really made me feel like the only bride in the building. Every second of my appointment was so special because of the incredible team and atmosphere. Thank you all so much for making my special day even more special and memorable than i expected!!

10/10 would recommend!

They were absolutely amazing! The consultant reached out prior to my appointment to get a feel for what I was wanting. I sent her a link to my dress inspo album and we talked a bit more. When we walked in I was greeted like they already knew me. My consultant was the best. She was considerate of my budget and made sure I was comfortable trying anything on that was outside of that prior to bringing the dress in. We had an early morning appointment, and an appointment elsewhere later that day. My mom lives hours away, so she wasnt able to make theb first appointment. I fell in love with a dress, but wanted my mom to be able to come and look with me and felt bad canceling the other appointment. They totally understood, and when I asked if there was aaanyway we could come back later so my mom could see the dress I fell in love with, they worked it so we could come back in at the end of the day. Mom was able to come in and see my dress, and thats when I officially "said yes" and did the paperwork! They also suggested an AMAZING place to eat (Im celiac and can't eat gluten) and even gave us one of their personal $5 off punch card to use!

Amazing Experience

You guys!!! The Bridal Cottage is absolutely spectacular! I had went to several bridal stores before this one and let me just say...this one is special...like really super duper special. Of course they have absolutely stunning gowns but what's even more beautiful is the people that work there. Everyone there is super sweet and so, so uplifting. I was blessed to have been able to work with Ella and she's an absolute rockstar. She picked the most beautiful dresses for me to try on. Not just any random dresses but ones she felt best matched my personality. She got to know me. She listened. She's super patient. She made me feel even more beautiful than the most beautiful dress I tried on. I absolutely adore her and am so, so grateful for her.

Shopping Experience Every Bride Deserves!

When I first got engaged, I was years away from planning my wedding. And wedding dress shopping was one of the last things on my mind. As someone who is in a bigger body, plus-size, etc, however you want to say it, clothes shopping in general can be so, so overwhelming.

I first began to see if there were even any shops in Arkansas that would not just accommodate, but welcome, brides of any shape and size The Bridal Cottage popped up and I appreciated their website showing off their plus-size dresses. I even was able to attend one of their fashion shows where I met, very briefly, Lindy who was so warm and kind, inviting me to consider The Bridal Cottage when I was ready to look for a dress.

My fiance and sister insisted I book a Pinnacle Appointment. The Bridal Cottage was wonderful about reaching out to me before my appointment to get information about what I was looking for. From their texts, to my phone call with Alec, and their helpful resources about how to prepare for the day: I was so excited.

My wedding dress appointment was last Friday, and I was paired up with a consultant, Ella.

I could not have felt more welcomed, celebrated and beautiful. Ella was so supportive, helpful and kind. She was brilliant at her job at finding dresses, but also, she was brilliant at helping me. I've always struggled to make decisions just for me, and she was wonderful at helping me find a way to quiet all the worries in my head and help me pick what I wanted for my wedding day.

She went above and beyond and never rushed me or showed a single sign of frustration or annoyance. Her suggestions were helpful and she listened to me. There were a million moments where she checked in with me before opening the curtain. Her final touches at the end when I was between two dresses brought me to tears. I left that appointment ordering a dress I know I will feel beautiful in.

For every bride, I wish you the wedding dress shopping experience I had. It was the most magical experience. Ella was amazing, although I am of the strongest belief that every single employee of The Bridal Cottage is just as wonderful (and I had a chance to meet several during my time there!). I brought several of my most beloved friends and family members with me, and I'm sure I would not have wanted to find a wedding dress without them, but looking back I am not certain I could have found a dress I loved so much without Ella's help, guidance and warmth.

If a bride reading this and you're wondering if this is worth it, 100% it is. I have never left a dress appointment so pleased and at peace before-- ever. I will never, ever forget the wonderful experience I had at The Bridal Cottage.

A hidden gem!

The bridal cottage was such a breath of fresh air in this stressful wedding planning world! From the quickness of booking my appointment, to the 1.5 hour long consultation, to check out, these staff members are AMAZING! Meagan helped me through my entire appointment, she asked so many detailed questions that helped me find my dream dress IN MY FIRST APPOINTMENT! I was so stressed before this consultation but I was able to SAY YES TO MY DRESS, and it was all thanks to the owners hands on tactics, Alec’s words of encouragement with the accessories, and Meagan’s attention to my preferences and details! I could not recommend them enough! They were so kind, so thoughtful, and so professional while still keeping me at ease!
