Siri Trunk Show - FAQ

Miss Ruby Boutique is hosting a trunk show by the designer Siri

taking place April 15th - 17th. 

If you are interested in our Siri Bridal Trunk Show, or just have questions about gown shopping in general, you've come to the right place! We've compiled a list of FAQ's to address any questions you may have!

That way, you can learn more about this special event before scheduling an appointment!

What Exactly is a Trunk Show?

We always have a selection of Siri gowns in store, but our Trunk Show was designed to give brides the most extensive selection of gowns possible. During the Trunk Show, we will have an entire collection of fabulous gowns that we don't usually have in store for trying on. 

What is This Designer's Style and Price Point?

Siri Bridal is perfect for the simple, sophisticated bride who wants to look absolutely effortless at her wedding. With light, luxurious fabrics, these gowns are not only beautiful, but they are also comfortable. Clean lines and sleek designs are perfect for the bride who wants to go back to basics with her bridal look. 

Dresses range from $800 - $1,800. 

What Can I Expect at My Appointment?

During your 90-minute appointment you will meet with your stylist, and she will give you an introduction to the store and our selection of bridal gowns. Your stylist will serve as your helper throughout the entire 90 minutes, making sure your gowns are pinned correctly, accessories are added as needed, and all your questions are answered. When you find your gown and say "YES!" to the dress, we're also happy to pop champagne and toast with you and your loved ones!

What If I Fall In Love With a Gown That Isn't Part of the Trunk Show?

Your choices are definitely not limited to our Trunk Show gowns. If you see another gown you love, let your stylist know! 

Will My Stylist Be In the Fitting Room With Me?

We always recommend that brides allow stylists to assist them in the fitting rooms. It not only ensures that our gowns are properly zipped and clipped, but also gives our brides a personal, boutique-style experience. Helping brides in and out of gowns is a part of their job on a daily basis and they know the best way to help. With that said, if you are hesitant at all about your stylist joining you in the fitting room, let her know! 

I'm Nervous to Try on Wedding Gowns - How Can I Prepare for my Appointment?
Before your appointment, look online to familiarize yourself with popular styles as well as the styles we will have in store. With that being said, keep an open mind and try on styles outside of your comfort zone - thats how so many brides find their perfect dress!

What Undergarments Should I Wear?
Wearing proper undergarments is also key. If you know that you are going to be wearing spanks or similar undergarments - bring them with you to your appointment! If you are unsure of your undergarments, we recommend a nude, strapless bra with minimal pushup.

Who Should I Bring Along With Me?
Be thoughtful about who you bring with you to your appointment. If there are friends or family members who must be present when you say "YES!" be sure to bring them with you! Many of our gown samples will be in store for this weekend only, so you won't be able to recreate that special moment if you try to come back at another time or day.

Browse the latest Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom styles next weekend at Miss Ruby! 

Want to learn more before scheduling an appointment? Read answers to Frequently Asked Questions below. 

What Exactly is a Mother of Occasion Trunk Show?

A Trunk Show is where we (for a short time only) carry styles in our store that we do not usually have. In this case, Siri is sending us dozens of popular Mother of Occasion styles so that we have more options for mothers who are still looking for the perfect dress for their son or daughter's wedding. 

What Designers Will You Carry?

This Trunk Show focuses exclusively on the designer Siri - you can learn more about this designer by clicking here. 

What Can I Expect at My Appointment?

During your 90-minute appointment you will meet with your stylist, and she will give you an introduction to the store and our selection of dresses. Your stylist will serve as your helper throughout the entire 90 minutes, making sure your gowns are pinned correctly, accessories are added as needed, and all your questions are answered. 

What if I Don't Like The Color of the Dress In Store?

Nearly all of our dresses can be ordered in a variety of different colors, fabrics, and patterns. If you are loving the fit of a dress, your Miss Ruby stylist can show you the other color options available for order. Please note: Dresses take up to 16 weeks to arrive in-store from time of order. 

The Wedding is Fast Approaching - What Are My Options?
For mothers who have a wedding taking place within the next few months, we will have a variety of styles that are available for purchase off the rack. This means, if the style and color work for you, you can purchase the in-store sample and take the dress home with you when you leave the boutique!

How Can I Prepare for my Appointment?
Before your appointment, look online to familiarize yourself with the styles we will have in store. If you have any questions about what you are expected to wear, be sure to ask the bride! She may have a specific color that she wants you to wear, or she may let you choose whatever color and style you prefer. Either way, knowing what you are looking for before you come to the boutique will make the appointment run smoother.

What Undergarments Should I Wear?
Wearing proper undergarments is also key. If you know that you are going to be wearing spanks or similar undergarments - bring them with you to your appointment! If you are unsure of your undergarments, we recommend nude bra and panties with minimal pushup.

Who Should I Bring Along With Me?
Be thoughtful about who you bring with you to your appointment. If there are friends or family members who's opinions are important, we encourage you to bring them along! Often, friends, husbands, or even the bride/groom come to the appointment as well.

If I Can't Decide on a Dress, Can I Come Back the Following Weekend?
We would love to have you come back to our store! Just keep in mind that most of the Siri Mother of Occasion dresses we will have in our store are available for order/purchase during the Trunk Show ONLY - we recommend you are ready to decide at your appointment if the dress is right for you. Otherwise, you may not have the option to try it on or order it at a later date.

If I an Unsure of My Schedule, Can I Browse Your Dresses Without an Appointment?
You are more than welcome to stop in our store to browse, however without an appointment we cannot guarantee that there will be a fitting room open or a stylist available to answer your questions. Our fitting rooms are promised only to customers with appointments. We are more than happy to squeeze you in if we are able, but we recommend you schedule an appointment for the best service possible.

What If I Have More Questions About the Trunk Show?
Call our boutique at (414) 755-2900 - one of our experienced consultants will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Bridesmaid Dress of the Week: Siri Ellie

 Our bridesmaid dress of the week is so much fun! This Siri dress is understated but still oh so flattering! We love the way the fabric of this dress catches the light and really shines. 

 

 

Ellie is a strapless dress with a short circle skirt. This style is perfect for so many different body types as it is very flattering and will make any bridesmaid feel her best! 

We love the Jaxie belt shown in our shop but Ellie can also be ordered with an optional origami sash. This sash comes in a wide selection of colors and fabrics. One of the great things about adding a belt is that it will flatter as well as highlight your figure, which is what this dress is all about! It also is a great accessory for this already fun dress. 

This dress can be ordered in so many different colors and fabrics. It can be customized to match your wedding theme and style. Our sample at Miss Ruby is shown in dupioni silk but it can also be ordered in taffeta, organza, satin, or silk shantung. With all these different choices of fabrics and colors, our brides can fully personalize this dress and feel like they are getting a one of a kind style.

Bridesmaid Style: Metallic Maids

If your a glitz & glam kind of girl, then having your bridesmaids wear party-ready metallic dresses is a great option! Plus, who doesn't love some sparkle? Metallic bridesmaid dresses offer the perfect palette for year-round weddings and there are so many great options available at Miss Ruby in both cocktail & floor length styles.

Siri offers modern, chic silhouettes in high-quality silk fabrics. The dresses are so flattering and we just received a few new dresses in store!

The Siri Doris Day A-line dress features a sleeve & covered back. The ruched wide waistband & a-line skirt make for a flattering fit on all body shapes & sizes. Plus the dress is available in a large selection of fabrics & colors!

 The Siri Napa Valley Gown is an elegant floor length fitted gown. The ruching throughout the bodice & hips is very figure flattering!

Tips for Mother of Occasion Dresses

Shopping when you're the mother of occasion can seem like a daunting task with all the options out there to choose from.  What can make it more difficult sometimes is the lack of options--whether the style feels dated or too risque, its hard to find that balance in the middle where Mom feels appropriate, but not like she has to dress way beyond her years.

This weekend April 17-19 we're having a Trunk Show from one of our favorite designers for stylish and chic Moms-- Siri.  Here are some great options for Moms for the upcoming summer and fall wedding seasons!

Spring/Summer Wedding: 

Great to focus on cocktail length dresses in a variety of lighter fabrics like a beautiful chiffon or a breathable silk shantung--Check some of these Siri styles out!

Siri The Ivy Dress with Florettes--shown in a Silk Shantung, we love the neckline on this one!

Siri's Glissando Dress has a great printed fabric that is sure to stun at any Summer wedding

Effortlessly chic is a great way to describe the one shoulder Laguna Dress by Siri, the chiffon is perfect for a summer day, but this style is also available in a floor length gown as well!

Siri Coral Gables Dress is the perfect shift style for the summer, and we love the mix print of rose embroidery with the plain top--its modern and classic at the same time!

Fall/Winter Wedding: 

A great opportunity for Mom's to go with either cocktail or floor length--the focus should be on luxe structured fabrics in rich warm or cool colors to go with the season!

We love the rich blue hue of the Siri Concerto Gown--as well as the trumpet silhouette.

The Four Seasons Dress by Siri is just that-- perfect for all seasons with a sheath style cut and boat-neck collar--shown in Metallic Melange fabric, it would be the perfect dress for Mom for a winter/New Year's wedding!

Siri's Simone Gown is a great shape for the Mom who wants modern and glam at the same time--sampled here in Taffeta, its comes in a variety of fabrics from Satin to Silk Shantung to Organza!

A great option for Mom's are separates--Siri's Bacall Top and Skirt combo is flattering on women of all shapes and sizes with a slim skirt and v-neck top!

Siri has so many options to satisfy a variety of different styles for Mom--whether she wants to be vintage, modern, glam or all wrapped into one, the styles shown here can fit all those requirements!

We still have a few open slots for the Siri Mother of Occasion Trunk Show open, running April 17-19, so call us today to schedule an appointment to check out these dresses before they're gone! 414.755.2900 or info@missrubyboutique.com

Belvedere Gown
The Belvedere gown is the ultimate in fun sophistication. The ruched sweetheart neckline culminates in a waist defining, asymmetrical peplum atop a dramatic fit and flare skirt featuring an understated sweep train. Not a fan of the peplum? It can be ordered without!

Astoria Gown
