The Arkansas Bride team prides ourselves on standing beside every single couple along their journey down the aisle and beyond, but we recognize that we can do more to make Arkansas Bride a more diverse brand. And we will.
In times like these, the click of a button and sharing a post is not enough to support our fellow Arkansans who deserve all the love. We’re currently planning actionable long-term commitments that will help hold us accountable moving forward and that we will share with you all soon.
To start, we’ve gathered a list of 90-plus local black-owned businesses to support while planning for your wedding day. We will continuously update this list and encourage you to follow, collaborate with, and support these vendors always.
Note: This is by no means a definitive list. If there’s a business we’ve overlooked that should be added to the list, please let us know at LMcallister@abpg.com.
