Look Stylish at Summer Weddings

Dressing up for weddings is always fun - and somewhat challenging! You want to stand out but make sure that you don't steal the show. 

We asked our always stylish staff members: 
What Are You Wearing to Summer Weddings? 
(feel free to steal their looks!) 

Tailored Jumpsuits



Sadee said she's wearing a tailored jumpsuit to the summer weddings on her schedule. They're perfectly on trend - "And you don't have to shave your legs if you don't want to!" she said. 

Pretty Pastels



Always elegant Adrianna said that she plans on wearing strappy, pastel dresses to her friend's wedding this summer. "It looks relaxed, but appropriate for a summer wedding," she said. 

Balanced Proportions



Hillary said she would wear something that had an unexpected detail, like a dress with an open back. She says the look is "modest from the front, but just sexy enough to still be fun."

Floral Touches



Jimmy plans on mixing classic and current looks this summer. To him, tailored grey pants with a white, short sleeve button down make the perfect base for a fun accessory like a floral bowtie. "I also love suspenders," he says, "but it would really depend on the occasion."

Jimmy's Picks for 2017


Our stylist Jimmy knows a few things about bridal trends. After all, he's been styling brides at Miss Ruby boutique for years and always has great advice & feedback for his brides. 



Wanting to know how he would style a 2017 wedding? 
Take a look below for his picks from our newest collections. 

Favorite Bridal Gown





"I love the Miriam gown by Willowby. The cut-outs on the side make it a really sexy dress. If you can pull this one off, I say go for it!" 

Favorite Bridesmaids Dress



"This dress (#5708 by Hayley Paige Occasions) hasn't gotten a lot of attention yet & I have no idea why! I put this in the fitting room of all my bridesmaids appointments. It shows just enough cleavage to be a little bit sexy, but still wedding appropriate."

Favorite Dress for Mom



We just got this dress (Dessy #6764) in at our store. This is a great dress for a mom who wants to be a little bit trendy, but still stay really classy for the wedding. We have it sampled in the color "burgundy," which is always a flattering and safe color for Moms. "

Favorite Wedding Trend


"Having an open bar is my favorite wedding trend!"

Miss Ruby Volunteer Outing

This past Thursday, the Miss Ruby Team closed the boutique and volunteered at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk at Milwaukee's Veteran's Park. From assembling lots of lanterns to helping guests light up the night, seeing all the support and hearing all the stories was an incredible experience! 

It was such a great reminder of what an amazing community we are all a part of. 

Front Desk Leaders Cynthia and Sara look happy assembling lanterns!

Hundreds of lanterns put together! Valerie, Cynthia, & Hillary show off the finished products

Red lanterns were for Supporters, White were for Survivors, and Gold were "In Memory"

Boutique owners Erin and Pauline showed their support!
The Light the Night walk was truly beautiful once the sun went down!

Vendors We Love - Holey Moley Doughnuts


We have a confession: Miss Ruby Boutique consultants like food in all its forms. But when we heard that Holey Moley started catering weddings, we knew that it was news we just had to share with our brides!

While they may have a silly name, their doughnuts are seriously delicious. They are always made from scratch and come in a variety of types (including cake, yeast raised, filled, fritters, and holes), flavors, and even have gluten-free options so that everyone can enjoy! They have been a Third Ward staple since they opened and a staple in the Miss Ruby break room on early Saturday mornings!


Now that they cater weddings, brides who want to rep Milwaukee can share these amazing treats with their guests from near and far. Ordering a doughnut "cake" is the perfect touch for those who want something unique, doughnuts served with Hawthorne Coffee are a great bridal shower brunch dessert for those who want to keep it more traditional. 

Cupcakes may have had their moment, but doughnuts are the hottest trend in bridal desserts. Check out the mouth-watering images below, and be sure to pick up a wedding catering menu when you visit Miss Ruby Boutique!
