Just In: Theia Victoria

Trying to channel Audrey Hepburn on your wedding day? Then you'll love the Victoria gown, our newest gown from Theia!

The luxurious crepe bodice is structured making for a clean & elegant fit that flows in to a tulle skirt. This tulle skirt makes this a gown for twirling!

The low back adds that extra touch of glamour that flows into a sweep train.
This dress could also be hemmed into an adorable tea length ensemble!

Just In: Theia Natalia

Well our new gowns just keep getting better & better. We just received in the Natalia gown from Theia Bridal and it is nothing short of fabulous!

The fitted silk crepe skirt flows into a beautiful train. But the absolute show-stopper on this gown is the lace crop top. Super fun, stylish & boho! We are so so in love. And then turn around and you've got an open back with lace draping!  This gown is ever so fabulous from front to back!

Bridal Gown of the Week: Theia Nava

One of our newest gowns in store is the Theia Nava gown and it leaves us nothing short of speechless! From the flowy silk skirt to the ornate hand beaded bodice you can't help but fall in love!

The skirt on the Nava gown is a lovely silk georgette. Which means it is super soft and has a lot of movement. Wear this gown in a variety of venues from an artsy museum to an outdoor botanical garden and anywhere in between. It's so versatile & oh so pretty!

Hand beaded pearls adorn the v-neck bodice. 

And to top it off it has a low v-back! So beautiful!

Just In: Robert Bullock Sydney and Wtoo Allegra

We featured this gown on our Facebook page the day it arrived in store because we were loving its unique take on the classic ballgown shape, but we didn't give her a formal introduction on our blog! 
Help us welcome Robert Bullock Sydney to our collection of bridal gowns! 

Robert Bullock Sydney--one of our newest arrivals!
This gown features a strapless sweetheart neckline and is constructed of beautiful organza with a mix of lace. We love the high/low hemline on this gown - what makes it stand out from other dresses by far and the must have dress of any shoe-fanatic bride.


Wtoo Allegra is another one of our newest arrivals.  This gown is a standout for obvious reasons - definitely for the bride that is daring to be different!

Wtoo Allegra, new at Miss Ruby Bridal Boutique!
Featuring a strapless sweetheart neckline, Wtoo Allegra is constructed of Shimmering Tulle, it features a drop waist style and a ruffled tulle ball gown skirt.  Sampled in Antique, the dress can also be ordered in White or Ivory.

Are You Bold Enough for a Black Wedding Gown?

Maybe we're biased, but when people think of weddings, we're guessing that one of the first things that comes to mind is a beautiful white dress. However, with most dresses being ordered in ivory, and blush-colored dresses rising in popularity, the tradition of a "white" dress is seemingly falling to the wayside.

On May 10 of this year, 90210-actress Shenae Grimes tied the knot in a gorgeous Vera Wang gown - that was black! The most surprising part? How stunning she looked. While black may not be a usual color choice, if you are a bride who wants to break tradition and have a dress that gets everyone talking, a black wedding gown is the way to go.  Even some of the designers we carry at Miss Ruby Boutique offer options in black for the non-traditional bride.

Inspiration: A Halloween Wedding

Halloween is a favorite holiday of ours. There's nothing better than having an excuse to wear an over-the-top costume and go all out on makeup and accessories. Any treats (or tricks) are just icing on the cake.

When we started looking, we found inspiration from so many brides who chose to embrace the holiday and incorporate it into an unforgettable Halloween wedding. While this definitely isn't a theme every bride is going to be quick to follow, for a bride who is unconventional and loves Halloween it can make for a shockingly beautiful soiree. The most surprising thing we found while searching for Halloween-inspired weddings was how chic they could be. Touches of black in all the right places and just a little bit of humor makes for a wedding that is more sleek than scary.

Check out the pictures we have gathered below, and then be sure to let us know in the "Comments" how you are celebrating this spooky holiday!


The stunning black bouquet and fun shoes are a great contrast!

The touches of black are stunning in this Gothic wedding. We especially love the use of candles as a statement centerpiece.

Traditional elements like pumpkins and leaves can make for beautiful decorations

Little touches like this pop of blue add visual interest and contrast with dark, somber colors.

Your invitations can set the tone for your spooky soiree.

We love the artistic use of Dia De Los Muertos skulls in the wedding's theme.

We bet Jaxie would love to make an orange and black hairpiece like this one found here.

Crystals and Pearls make even a skull look chic.

We love how she turned her bridal gown into a breathtaking costume.

Wedding Inspiration: Teal

At Miss Ruby Boutique, inspiration is everywhere. Today, two gorgeous Alvina Valenta dresses arrived at our store in a fantastic shade of teal. That was just enough for us to remember what a great wedding color teal can really be. Pair it with white or coral to keep it fresh, or gold and silver for a wedding that is decadent and unique.

Take a look at how other brides have incorporated this blue hue into their reception, and visit Miss Ruby Boutique for dresses in the perfect shade of teal.

This bride's unique accessories give a fresh spin on a classic dress.

We think your bridesmaids would look lovely in teal and coral

We are loving these ribbon runners with the delicate vases.

One Pinner said these would be perfect for an ice cream float bar! And we couldn't agree more!

Pink and teal invitations like these are a great way to set the tone for your beautiful wedding.

Teal wedding shoes like these from Kate Spade, could definitely be your something blue!

Buy this gorgeous headpiece from Jewelsalem's Etsy Store.
Or, talk to local designer Jackie from Shop Jaxie for a custom created piece like this.


White with a hint of teal and pop for pink makes for an elegant cake...

...Or make teal the main event, like this ombre cake with a bit of silver!


This collage makes teal and red look retro-chic and so, so fun!

Pairing teal with a dusty coral will make your wedding look luxurious.

Or, if you can afford Haute Couture, try a breathtaking teal dress like this one!
