A Wedding Dress for Every Season

No matter what time of year your wedding is or where you are getting married, the most important thing is that you look and feel like a goddess in your dress. That being said it can be fun and festive to invoke the feelings of the season through your dress. No matter what season you are shopping in, there will always be wedding dresses available that have elements of each season. When shopping make sure to have fun with it, stay authentic to you and your style, and find the perfect dress for your seasonal wedding!

Winter: Think sparkle, glitter, satin, classic, and glam

Alessandra by Tara Keely is our newest obsession! It’s super sparkly, but the sparkle layer is covered in a layer of soft tulle that adds a romantic touch. Winter is a great season to be a little extra and show off your glamorous side. Accessorizing with super glam earrings and a fur shrug will make you the ultimate ice queen.




Spring: Think floral, light, airy, whimsical, and flirty

Ti Adora Poppy is PERFECT for Spring! The combination of delicate lace in the skirt and the bold flower appliques placed on the bodice make it so fun and whimsical. The flowy, tulle skirt is soft and would look beautiful with soft tulle bridesmaids dresses. The best part of this dress are the off-the-shoulder lace straps that really send it to another level of whimsical.




Summer: Think sleek, sexy, and fun

Lena from Blue by Enzoani is what summer wedding dreams are made of. The sleek crepe skirt makes it feel elegant, but the dramatic sheer top and hip cutouts make it super sexy too! Summer weddings are FUN and this dress is just that. There is so much detail and this just looks like a dress that you are ready to party the night away in.





Fall: Think warm, cozy, romantic, and bold

Robert Bullock Roxy gives all the cozy fall vibes while still being stunningly elegant. The crochet lace is bold and gorgeous and features a beautiful leafy design that screams Autumn. The off-the-shoulder neckline is perfect for Fall because it covers your arms a little, but is still beautiful and open. The fabric covered buttons on the back are a great alternative detail to sparkle for a more natural look. Bring in lots of warm colors in your bridesmaids dresses and flowers and you will be living an Autumnal dream.



Really playing up the season you are getting married in can help to guide the style of your wedding and can really help create a FEELING that you and your guests will always remember. 
Don’t be afraid to be bold and be YOU.

Behind the Scenes: How We Buy our Wedding Dresses

This week the Miss Ruby Team went to National Bridal Market in Chicago  - a 3 day event that brings some of the biggest names in bridal fashion to the Midwest. National Bridal Market takes place twice a year and it's where we get to meet bridal & bridesmaid designers, see their new collections, and pick out what we want to bring home to our brides for next season and beyond!  This week we got a first look at the Fall 2019 collections from our designers and got to choose exactly which gowns we want to bring to Milwaukee for our brides!


So buying wedding dresses sounds like fun doesn't it? It sure is! We will be the first ones to tell you we have the best job!  But it is definitely bridal gown overload.  We sift through hundreds and hundreds of gowns. There are so many things that go into deciding what to bring back to the boutique - what brides are asking for, what's been selling, what are going to be the upcoming trends that we gotta have, etc.  We gotta admit, it can get hard, but I assure you we put every piece of our soul into picking the absolute best dresses, the most unique, the ones you won't find anywhere else and we are beyond excited about the dresses that will be arriving in store late this summer/early fall.





As much as we'd love to tell you we are seeing specific trends - we actually saw a little bit of everything and LOVED it!  From new takes on clean & classic silhouettes, to all sorts of patterned lace, to 3-D florals, gowns with sleeves, and everything in between, there will be options for every bride.  We have so many fabulous looks coming your way!
This is just a teeny sneak peek of what's to come!






For accessories - one of our favorite items to shop - you'll find more rose gold accessories arriving in store soon. And long, dramatic veils with details like lace, subtle sparkle, and some extra volume too.


Bridesmaid dresses just keep getting better and better!  The rich hues that will be introduced are beyond gorgeous.  If you love green, you will love the new colors from Watters & Bari Jay.  Fabrics are even more wearable & flattering too!


After we literally shopped till we dropped for three days we have returned to Milwaukee inspired and excited for what's to come.  The designers that we offer at Miss Ruby are part of our family, so it was wonderful to catch up with them, discuss what our brides are looking for,
and strengthen our relationships with them.
Keep an eye out for announcements on when all of our new items arrive in store!  We can't wait!
