Back to the BlogThere’s a LOT Happening at The Bridal Cottage
The next few months? They’re going to be good.
There will be dresses on runways, champagne glasses raised, new collections to discover, small-business love to celebrate, and Christmas stockings to fill for some very special shelter furbabies.
But more than anything, there will be people.
Our brides. Our local wedding community. The small businesses we love supporting. The animals we’re helping. And all of the people who make The Bridal Cottage feel like so much more than a place to find a wedding dress.
We love finding reasons to celebrate with you, and the next few months have given us a lot of them.
So grab your calendar, save these dates, and come be part of the fun. From October through January, there’s something special waiting for you at The Bridal Cottage.
October 25 | Brides Who Brunch
12–2 PM | The Baker House
We're kicking things off with one of the most fun bridal events of the season: Brides Who Brunch!
Picture a garden-party kind of afternoon filled with love, wedding inspiration, cocktails and mocktails, music, giveaways, local wedding professionals, and plenty of reasons to celebrate.
And, of course, we will be bringing the gowns!
It's the perfect afternoon to gather your girls, soak up some wedding inspiration, and celebrate everything that makes being engaged so exciting.
November 8 | Cabot Wedding Show
CNC by the Lake
If you're planning your wedding, come find us at the Cabot Wedding Show!
We'll be bringing a few of our favorite gowns, some fun surprises, and plenty of wedding inspo. Come say hello, talk dresses, ask questions, and let us be part of your wedding-planning journey.
We'd love to see you there!
November 28 | Small Business Saturday
There is something incredibly special about choosing to shop small.
When you shop with The Bridal Cottage, you're not just shopping for a wedding dress. You're supporting a small, local business — and you're allowing us to be part of one of the most important and meaningful moments of your life.
That's something we never take for granted.
So, for Small Business Saturday, we're turning the love right back around to our brides.
Every bride who visits on us Small Business Saturday, will get to choose a little something from our “Thank You Bar” — simply as our way of saying thank you for choosing us, supporting us, and shopping small.
Because behind every small business are real people who genuinely care about the people who walk through their doors. And we are so grateful for every bride who chooses to walk through ours.
December 1–17 | Santa Paws
Christmas looks a little different when you're waiting for a forever home.
Every year, we're honored to help make the holidays a little brighter for the dogs and cats at the North Little Rock Animal Shelter through our Santa Paws event.
The shelter hangs Christmas stockings on the kennels of their animals, and on Christmas, those stockings are opened and filled with goodies for the shelter's furry residents. We want to help make sure those stockings are full.
From December 1–17, we'll have a donation box at The Bridal Cottage where our brides and customers can bring items to help fill those stockings.
And there's another special part of Santa Paws for our brides.
When a bride says yes to her dress during Santa Paws, she'll have the opportunity to sign a Christmas card for the shelter animals. We'll make a donation in her name and purchase additional gifts for the animals.
And because every “yes” deserves to be remembered, she'll also get to choose a special wooden Christmas ornament to take home. We'll write her date on it — a little keepsake she can pull out of the Christmas decorations year after year and remember the day she said yes to her dress.
It's a small way to celebrate a huge moment while helping make Christmas a little brighter for animals who are still waiting for their forever families.
January 8–18 | First Look Trunk Show: All Who Wander
We're ending this season with something very exciting.
The Bridal Cottage has been chosen to host the First Look Trunk Show for the entire 2027 All Who Wander collection.
That means brides will have the opportunity to see the new 2027 collection first — before most brides have even had the chance to experience these gowns.
New gowns.
A brand-new collection.
And the chance to find the dress that feels like you before everyone else has seen it.
The Next Few Months Are Going to Be Good.
Come brunch with us.
Come find wedding inspiration.
Come shop small and feel the love.
Come help us make Christmas brighter for shelter furbabies.
Come be among the first to see what's new.
Whatever brings you through our doors, we're just really happy you're here.
Save the dates, mark your calendar, and come make some memories with us.
