If you visited our boutique you can definitely tell that we love our jobs!
Working at a bridal boutique can be challenging and physically exhausting, but it is also so rewarding and so much fun. And working for Miss Ruby makes it even more fun. Here are some of the big reasons why we LOVE what we do & why we wouldn't want to work anywhere else!

1. The BRIDES
To put it simply, our brides are AMAZING. We get to work
with the sweetest, kindest, most inspiring, radiant, smartest, most
interesting, loving women every day. It’s a pretty unique experience getting so
close with our brides and their families and we are so grateful for it. Many of
our brides come back with friends and family members so we get to see them for
years to come.
Miss Ruby Brides are the best!
2. Our downtown Milwaukee location
WE LOVE MILWAUKEE! There is always something fun going on
right outside our doors! We frequently walk across the river and have meetings
at some of our favorite spots like Sweet Diner and Collectivo. The Public Market
puts pretty much any lunch we could desire right at our fingertips, and The
Milwaukee Ale House is the perfect spot to get together for dinner after a busy
Saturday. Can you tell we love to eat?!

3. Being surrounded by all the gorgeous dresses
Duh! We have the most BEAUTIFUL work environment ever…and
yes we do try on the dresses all the time!

4. The opportunities
We may be a small business, but we dream big! We are
constantly growing and creating new opportunities for new and current
stylists. Aside from being expert stylists, many of our consultants also
hold other positions at Miss Ruby such as Team and Community Outreach Leader
and Logistics Leader. Working at Miss Ruby opens so many doors and offers so
much experience in fashion, event planning, operations, leadership, and so much
more. The sky is our limit!
5. Being able to express our personal styles
We do not stick to the traditional, all black bridal
stylist uniform. We work in this industry because we love fashion, and Miss
Ruby empowers us to express our own unique styles every day. We love that all
of our consultants are so different and we celebrate that. As stylists, we want
to empower our brides to be unapologetically themselves and find them a dress
that reflects that. We try to do the same with our style and have fun while doing
it.
6. Collaborating with other amazing vendors
We’ve already raved about Milwaukee, but have we mentioned
the wedding industry that is thriving in our city?! We get the pleasure of
meeting and collaborating with the most talented vendors in the business. We
are frequently participating in photo shoots, fashion shows, wedding expos, and other fun
events and get to work with the best hairstylists, florists, event planners,
makeup artists, photographers, and other creatives. We are constantly inspired
and grateful for the magic we get to create with them. If you are a Milwaukee
bride, you are in great hands!
7. Giving back
One of Miss Ruby’s core values is to make our community and
our world a better place. Giving back is so important to us because we truly do
love our community so much. We have so much fun getting out of the boutique and
volunteering at all kinds of different charities and events. We also hosted our
first ever fashion show last winter, of which all of the proceeds benefited a
local organization that empowers young girls.
8. Our hilarious company culture
To say we have fun is an understatement. Our entire staff is
so funny and we are constantly laughing. Whether it’s a sassy comment from
Sadee, one of Sara’s impromptu jazz squares, or literally anything that comes
out of Meredith’s mouth, there is never a dull moment. We try to catch some of
it and share it on our Instagram stories, but that doesn’t even begin to
scratch the surface. We have a super emotional job, so having a sense of humor
is key for us.
9. Our team bonding activities
Oh you thought working together every day was enough for the
Miss Ruby fam? Nope! Not only do we do super fun team bonding activities like
bowling, yoga, and brunch; but we also get together outside of work all the time.
We love getting drinks and dinner at our favorite local restaurants,
going to Kylie’s to watch The Bachelor, and we even took a trip to Chicago
together a couple weeks ago to celebrate Chanae’s bachelorette party. We really
are a family, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
10. Feeling empowered and inspired daily
I definitely saved the best and most important for last.
Miss Ruby is the most empowering environment. We are constantly inspired by our owner Erin to chase our dreams and work hard for
them. The women of Miss Ruby have a certain way of lifting you up and making
you feel so proud of exactly who you are. This is why we do what we do. At the
end of the day, the dresses are pretty, but it’s the impact we have on our
brides and each other that is really our driving force. We are so lucky to work
in an environment that fosters our growth and creativity and most importantly
our individuality as women.
