Holiday Giving - The Guest House

We have a staff meeting every month, but December is always reserved for helping others. This year, we partnered with The Guest House, an amazing Milwaukee shelter that provides housing, education, and other valuable services to those who seek to transform their lives. 

We knew that we would be purchasing Christmas presents for the Guest House's residents, but after a talk from a representative from the organization, we understood the difference that these items would make in the lives of residents seeking to become independent and change their lives. They requested simple items (such as jeans and shoes), and encouraged we didn't wrap them. Why? Because having a choice is sometimes more significant than having a present. 

Take a look at our photos & learn more about how you can support this extraordinary organization.

The Guest House likes to share this picture when explaining their mission - it shows where people start on their journey to recovery.

After shopping we showed off our goods! Sara shows the blankets she found. 

Shoes were a must-have this year at the Guest House Milwaukee. 

Jenna got some great gloves to keep the residents warm this winter. 

A rare group photo with our whole team! Happy Holidays everyone!

Bridal Gowns by Body Type

Knowing your body type is the first step towards finding a gown that is going to look as perfect on you as it does on Pinterest. Every bride is beautiful, no matter her shape or size, and finding a dress that enhances your best features will make you feel even more beautiful on your big day. 

Take a look below to find your body type and learn the style of wedding gown that's right for you!

Slender


Sheath gowns are a definite "do" for this body type. Dresses with minimal structure and vertical seams will enhance your slim figure, while still allowing you to look timeless and elegant. Gowns in this silhouette come in a variety of fabrics and cuts, allowing your style to be incredibly versatile. 

- Our Picks -


Athletic


If you have an athletic body-type, we suggest wearing gowns with thicker straps, "V" necklines, and cap sleeves. Often, sleeveless or strapless gowns can bring attention to athletic, broad shoulders, and end up making you look boxy. Choosing a slim gown with a thicker strap will downplay your shoulders and enhance your beautiful figure!

- Our Picks -


Hourglass



When your bust and hips are proportional, you have what is called an "hourglass" figure. We find that this body type is perfect for fitted, mermaid-style gowns. This shows off and plays up your already amazing hourglass curves.

- Our Picks - 


Pear


If your figure is defined by your curvy hips, a gown that enhances your waist will balance your proportions and make your body look even more stunning. For this body type, we suggest an A-Line or Ballgown style dress. The skirts on these silhouettes begin at your smallest point and enhance your pear-shaped figure. 

- Our Picks -


Curvy


If you are a full-figured gal, you have a ton of options that are going to make your body look amazing! While some Curvy gals think that being covered-up is more flattering, we find so many brides with this body-type find that showing off their figure in a structured gown is what looks best.
