Three phone numbers run across the top of the Faulkenbery's website, and the middle one is labeled Louisiana. It rings the Ruston store on the North Service Road East, beside Interstate 20, the company's Louisiana storefront. The home store is on Range Avenue in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and a separate bridal shop sits across that town. For prom and pageant families in north Louisiana, Ruston is the door that does not involve crossing the state line.
The company is not shy about its size back home. Its About page claims the largest prom and pageant inventory in Mississippi and says Faulkenbery's has "proudly served young women across the region for years." The same page frames the work as styling as much as selling, with designer gowns and personalized attention for girls headed to a dance floor or a competition stage. The Ruston store sells under that same website and that same list of prom designers.
Ten prom lines and a pageant department to match
The "Our Prom Designers" page is short and specific. These are the names on it:
- Sherri Hill
- Jovani
- Johnathan Kayne
- Ashley Lauren
- Jessica Angel
- Portia and Scarlett
- Rachel Allan
- Primavera Couture
- Tiffany Designs
- Panoply
In early fall 2026 the homepage's new-arrivals strip was led by fresh Jovani and Johnathan Kayne numbers, with Angela Bianca's 2027 line close behind. Keep in mind that the online catalog belongs to every Faulkenbery's location at once and does not break stock out by store, so ask the Louisiana staff about a specific style.
Where this company differs from a general formal shop is the pageant side. The menu treats it as several departments rather than one rack.
Pageant
Evening gowns for contestants, sold alongside prom stock
Kids Pageant
A separate section for younger girls on the circuit
Interview
Outfits for the interview portion of a pageant
Jumpsuits and Overskirts
Two smaller categories for looks beyond the traditional gown
Homecoming, evening wear and a mothers' section fill out the formal side, and the bridal business has its own shop in Mississippi. Prom shoppers who know a mood but not a label can also browse three style edits, named The Glam Queen, The Trendsetter and The Timeless Icon.
The About page closes on the line that best explains how the company wants a fitting to feel.
When you step into Faulkenbery’s, you are not just shopping for a dress. You are preparing for a moment you will remember forever.
The testimonials page backs that up in the customers' own voices. Parents describe staff pulling gown after gown, finding a second size or color, and families driving several hours to shop. Those reviews are not tagged by store, so they speak for the company as a whole rather than for Ruston alone.
The online sales policy is unusually blunt about pricing.
Online pricing
The designers Faulkenbery's represents do not allow their gowns to be shown online below suggested retail.
Counterfeits
A much lower price for the same style number on another website points to a counterfeit.
Online returns
Credit only, and only if the wrong style, color or size is shipped or a gown cannot arrive by the wear date.
That makes an in-person fitting in Ruston the safer route for prom.
The company also keeps an "Our Girls" gallery and invites customers to send in their own event photos for a chance to be featured on the website.
Lincoln Parish and the I-20 towns
Ruston is the seat of Lincoln Parish and the home of Louisiana Tech, and a store on the interstate frontage road is set up for families coming from out of town as much as for locals. Ruston High is the big public school in the parish, with Cedar Creek School, Choudrant High and Simsboro High drawing from the same area. Union Parish High in Farmerville and Jonesboro-Hodge High in Jackson Parish are within range to the north and south. Families who live along I-20 between Shreveport and Monroe sit on either side of the store, which is part of why it lands on this site's list of north Louisiana prom shops.
Anyone curious about the home store can read about the Philadelphia, Mississippi flagship on Range Avenue, which carries the same designer list and books its own appointments.
Faulkenbery's Ruston, the short version
How do I book a prom appointment in Ruston?
Use the Louisiana Appointments page on the Faulkenbery's website rather than the Mississippi one, since each state has its own booking page. Appointments are offered, not required.
Are website prices the same as store prices?
They can differ, since online prices follow each designer's suggested retail price. The shipping policy notes that the store's own prices are not always the same. Staff contact online buyers personally before any card is charged.
