Our Story behind
THE COLLECTIVE
For nearly seven years, Kiss the Bride Bridal Shop has been part of countless love stories, and today, that same heart lives on through The Collective Bridal Boutique & Event Space.
We are conveniently located on the Eastern Bypass in Richmond, Kentucky. Traveling 75 North, take exit 87. Take right off exit ramp and continue straight for 2.8 miles. We are located inside the Richmond Mall - use the mall entrance adjacent to Eagle Finance.
Opening up the third chapter of our legacy, our boutique offers a beautiful selection of designer wedding gowns, accessories, and finishing touches for every style—timeless, romantic, modern, and everything in between. As well as evening/mother’s gowns, reception/second-looks, and men’s formalwear solutions.

At The Collective, we combine heart, experience, and thoughtful styling to create a bridal experience that feels warm, personal, and beautifully memorable.
We can’t wait to meet you and help you find the gown that feels unmistakably you.
“My favorite moment is when a bride finds her gown. She lights up in the most magical way — those moments never get old.”
Lindsey - Owner
Our Team
Lindsey Durham
Lindsey brings over a decade of experience in relationship-driven client care and a deep love for helping women feel confident from the inside out. After years in the beauty industry building lasting trust and connections, she stepped into bridal with one purpose: creating a space where every bride feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
Taking ownership of Kiss the Bride was more than a business decision — it was a calling rooted in legacy, community, and heart. Lindsey is honored to continue the boutique’s foundation while thoughtfully shaping its future through curated collections, elevated experiences, and genuine connection.
Outside the boutique, Lindsey enjoys pilates, gardening, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and working on various creative projects.
Owner, Lead Stylist
Cheryl Carlton
With over seven years of experience alongside the original owner, Cheryl is truly the heart of this boutique. Her passion is, first and always, the bride. Warm, encouraging, and endlessly enthusiastic, Cheryl has a gift for making every bride feel confident, celebrated, and completely at ease.
Known for her expert eye for fit, fabric, and detail, Cheryl builds lasting relationships with brides and families who often return years later through referrals from those she once helped. During one of the boutique’s hardest seasons, she helped keep everything running with grace, loyalty, and strength — preserving the heart of the shop when it mattered most.
Outside of the boutique, Cheryl enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, shopping for a great deal, and watching Say Yes to the Dress.
Senior Bridal Stylist
Bridal StylistBri Rogers
Fresh out of college with a Marketing degree from Eastern Kentucky University, Bri joined The Collective in the most serendipitous way — while shopping for a wedding dress with her best friend. During the visit, she mentioned that working in bridal was her dream job, and Lindsey replied, “I think I am hiring.”
Bri followed up before Lindsey even had the chance to call, and that initiative spoke volumes. A lifelong fan of bridal fashion and Say Yes to the Dress, Bri now gets to live that dream every day. Whether she’s helping brides find the one, organizing inventory, or steaming new arrivals, her energy and passion shine through in every appointment.
Outside the boutique, Bri enjoys spending time with family and friends, researching bridal trends, and loving on her many pets.
