Feel Fabulous: 4 Ways to Look Your Best on the Big Day

September 22, 2020 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

A bride’s wedding day starts early—not only on that morning, but in the months of preparation preceding it. From beauty and wellness treatments that can help you feel your best to wedding jewelry that shines, here are four steps toward completing the perfect look for the big day. | Sponsored Content

First Things First

The first part of your wedding day ensemble is, of course, the engagement ring! The team at Sissy’s Log Cabin is more than happy to assist in making this decision, from the cut and clarity of the gemstone to the style of setting you choose to display it. Yellow gold, skinny bands, oval-shaped diamonds, and multiple-stone engagement rings are popular styles that retain a timeless quality. For more modern brides, colored gemstones and wide bands are current trends that will allow your personality to shine. After you’ve selected the perfect engagement ring, Sissy’s Log Cabin can also outfit you and your soon-to-be spouse with wedding bands, earrings and necklaces to complete the wedding day look, as well as offer suggestions for  gifts for loved ones. Want to browse from the comfort of your home? You can get started today by shopping Sissy’s Log Cabin online.

50 Years of Fine Jewelry: Q&A with Sissy’s Log Cabin

July 22, 2020 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

With locations in Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Jonesboro, Conway, and Memphis, Sissy’s Log Cabin is known throughout the state (and beyond!) for its reputation in fine jewelry and customer service. Here, we catch up with CEO and Graduate Gemologist Bill Jones on the history and growth of his family’s business. | Sponsored Content

Above: Sissy Jones with her son, Bill (second from right), and grandsons Wyatt (far left) and William.

Weddings in Arkansas: Let’s start with some of the history behind Sissy’s Log Cabin. How did this Arkansas icon get its start?

Bill Jones: In 1970, my mom, Sissy Jones, a home decorator with a flair for antiques, founded Sissy’s Log Cabin in Pine Bluff. She quickly outgrew the home office where her antique business began and was forced to search for a standalone store of her own. While driving down Highway 79 in Pine Bluff, she noticed a log cabin for sale, just big enough to accommodate her growing business. She began renting the cabin for $50 a month and word spread quickly throughout Arkansas. People started talking about their visits to “Sissy’s Log Cabin,” and the rest is history.

Lovesick Wedding Festival Isn’t Your Typical Wedding Show

August 19, 2019 by Stephanie Maxwell Newton

April Walsh of Freckled Fox Photography, along with an expansive list of Arkansas wedding vendors, are hosting a wedding festival that is anything but traditional or been-there, done-that. Read below for a Q&A with the woman behind it all on what you need to know about the event this weekend at Kindred Barn in Northwest Arkansas. 

Weddings in AR: In your words, how would you describe Lovesick Wedding Festival?

April Walsh, Freckled Fox Photography: Lovesick is going to be a wedding festival showcasing talented local vendors who focus on fun, modern wedding design. It’ll make finding a creative team convenient for hip, fun couples with none of the traditional big-box wedding show feeling. Every booth and styled seating area will feel interactive and be full of modern design ideas. The space will feel like a fun summer party or festival, with local music, snacks and beverages, and every booth feels almost like a styled shoot. The event will be free to attend. …
