A boutique experience rooted in authenticity and inclusivity, HONEYBEE BRIDAL (@honeybeebridal.ne) has Lincoln abuzz. Officially established in 2023, owners Erica Taddiken and Alanna Kosmicki channeled their love for fashion and the romance of the industry into a safe space for wedding dress shopping.
While attaining her business degree, Taddiken worked at a bridal and tux shop, where she quickly fell in love with helping couples find their perfect wedding look. Soon after establishing HoneyBee Bridal, she teamed up with Kosmicki, a former coworker with a plethora of experience in many areas of the wedding world, and the pair began serving the Lincoln locale with unique bridal gowns and empowering customer service.
“We wanted to cultivate a space where people can come and feel like they are truly seen and celebrated,” says Kosmicki. “We know how scary and intimidating wedding dress shopping can be, so we really focus on making a warm and welcoming environment.”
Offering extensive sizing, non-traditional wedding attire (hello, color!) and proudly embracing the LGBTQIA+ community, HoneyBee Bridal curates their collection with intention to allow for customers’ wildest dreams to become a reality.
