Meet the Team!

 

Lindy | Owner

Lindy is the proud owner of The Bridal Cottage. She and her husband, Erin, purchased this historic bridal boutique in December of 2011, a few months after they got married. She said yes to her dress, said yes to the love of her life, and yes to The Bridal Cottage! Friends joke that she loved her dress shopping experience so much, she went and bought the store! 

(It kind of happened like that...but there is so much more to the story!) So we invite you to head over to our About the Experience page and watch the video of her love journey with The Bridal Cottage!

Lindy enjoys spending time at her cabin in the Ozarks with her husband and their rescue dog, Lilly. They love being in nature, taking in all she has to offer like hiking, fishing, and canoeing. Lindy is also an avid reader and loves being a part of Reese's bookclub! 

Paulina | Manager

Paulina wanted to follow her passion for brides and wedding dresses after she found inspiration from watching Randy Fenoli on TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress"! With her experience in customer service, she was hired on to the team and quickly became a top Bridal Consultant! Then, after a year, transitioned to manager when Meagan stepped down to spend more time with her family. 

She truly enjoys seeing the beautiful full circle moment with brides. From their bridal appointment, celebrating with them when they say yes, working with the designer to order her dress, making sure her dress is perfect when it arrives in the store, to the final moment when the bride tries on her dress that she will walk down the aisle in! She says "I feel so lucky to be a part of the whole process." 

As manager, Paulina loves the focus, research, and attention to detail the job requires. She takes a hands-on approach when it comes to ordering the dresses as well as when her and Lindy are choosing gowns for the next collection at bridal markets. She finds strength and motivation in her team of amazing consultants. "We come from all walks of life, but together, we help make a bride's dream come true!" 

Paulina loves to hike, read, rock climb and she is always down for a good road trip! 

Megan | Brand Manager and Bridal Consultant

Megan started her career at The Bridal Cottage at 15 years old when owner Lindy chose her to become a brand ambassador, modeling wedding dresses for the store. She quickly became her assistant and never looked back! Megan grew up in North Little Rock and always loved driving by to see what dresses were in the display window, so this was a dream come true!

After graduating from Harding University in May 2024 with her BBA and  MBA, Lindy offered her the position of Brand Manager and Bridal Consultant, and Megan jumped at the opportunity to make The Bridal Cottage her home. 

She says "Nothing is better than helping a bride find her dream dress! It is forever the most rewarding part of my job." Megan's inspiration comes from having a great passion for the bridal industry as a whole. 

Megan loves reading, writing, playing Animal Crossing, and hanging out with her friends. And most importantly, loving on her dog, Mabel!  

Ella | Bridal Consultant

Growing up, Ella and her Mamaw watched "Say Yes to the Dress" together, and she always looked up to the bridal stylists on the show. She has a passion for empowering women and body positivity, and now as a bridal consultant, she gets to help women feel as beautiful as they truly are!

The most rewarding part of her job is "watching a bride have her moment in her dress! Getting to cry and laugh with them! When a bride finds her dress, I feel so connected with them even though we just met - it's truly so special."

She also enjoys helping with social media content and editing reels. She loves making a vision come to life through social media.

Ella gets a lot of her inspiration from art and books. She loves reading, cuddling with her furbabies, and spending time with her husband!

Hannah | Bridal Consultant 

Hannah was in the middle of a career change when she had a dream about working at a bridal boutique. The next day, she saw The Bridal Cottage was hiring, and one thing led to another and now she is a Bridal Consultant bringing joy and happiness to others! In her words, "bringing a little bit of sparkles and rainbows to the world!" 

For Hannah, the most special time as a Bridal Consultant is when the bride has a genuine connection with a dress. The moment is unlike anything else and she is always so proud of the bride, and is so joyful that she can be part of her love journey! 

The process of the appointment is so amazing to Hannah. She looks forward to seeing how the brides confidence grows as the appointment progresses, and how the bride realizes how beautiful she looks and feels in each dress! 

Hannah loves to explore Arkansas in her spare time, since she only moved here a few years ago! She also loves rock climbing, swimming, hiking, and has recently discovered her green thumb!

Meagan | Bridal Consultant

Meagan purchased her wedding dress from The Bridal Cottage in August 2016 and then started as a bridal consultant in October of that same year! She had just moved back to Little Rock, engaged after meeting her husband abroad, and was looking for a change of pace when she said yes to her dress. She just knew she wanted to help create these special moments for other brides!

She was promoted to manager in 2017, had her daughter Holly in 2018, and continued on as manager until she had her twins Lily and Poppy in early 2021. Now she enjoys coming in part time to help when the team needs an extra set of hands! She loves watching the brides she works with have their moment, when they finally see themselves as a bride. 

Meagan loves spending time with her family and chasing around her kiddos! Her daughters are her inspiration, seeing life through their eyes. Knowing that anything is possible and each day is a fresh start!
