Erin Connair
Owner & Entrepreneur
Erin is conquering the world with a Dr. Pepper in one hand and a wedding gown in the other! With the opening of Bluebird Bridal in 2016, she fulfilled a dream of providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a collection of dreamy gowns to satisfy a wide variety of budgets. Erin's infectious laugh and bubbly personality fills the room and makes everyone feel at ease. As an award winning wedding professional, Erin has a passion for eye popping design and top notch customer service.
When not running her bridal empire, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband Tim, playing with her precious children, Wells & Penny, loving on her fur babies and binge watching all the latest reality TV shows.
Amanda Horn
Marketing Director & Bridal Stylist
Amanda is a South End loving lady! She originally hails from Raleigh but has called the Queen City home for the last 5 years. Her favorite thing to do is explore new restaurants and shops in South End and Uptown with her husband, Sam. She drinks copious amounts of iced coffee and loves snuggling her little fluffy bunny, Kelso.
As a previous elementary school teacher, Amanda's sweet and patient nature is sure to make each bride feel welcomed.
Shelby Hopkins
Operations Manager & Bridal Stylist
Shelby was born and raised in South Florida, but followed her southern heart to North Carolina in 2021. If she's not at the shop you can catch her in the woods hiking or hunting. Even as our resident hunting chick, weddings are truly all she knows! From wedding planning, catering specialist and photography sales, she has dabbled in all parts of the wedding industry. Helping brides find their dress is her absolute favorite part of the wedding process!
