Just In: Alfred Sung Bridesmaids

We love it when our designers depart from their usual styles and fabrics, with their new arrivals bringing something completely different to our store. Sticking with their classic shapes, our new Alfred Sung styles fit perfectly with the other dresses in our collection - but look a little closer! Our newest Alfred Sung dresses are in brand new fabrics, providing a polished new structure and style.

Alfred Sung D660
This adorable dress is featured in Alfred Sung's brand new fabric, Sateen Twill! A fabric that is light and luxurious all at the same time, D660 has a dramatic skirt, bow detail, and flattering neckline that fits with the classic Alfred Sung style.

This dress is also sampled in Alfred Sung's brand new fabric, Sateen Twill. The best part about this dress is definitely the neckline, which is interesting in the front and low in the back. This dress is perfect for any bridesmaids who wants to look classy and chic all at once.

Alfred Sung D652
This flirty and fun dress is also in a new fabric by Alfred Sung, a Knit Chiffon. This means that it has the light-weight, soft feel of chiffon without being an "expected" bridesmaid dress fabric. The one shoulder style pairs perfectly with the patent leather bow belt, included with the dress.

Wedding Inspiration: Limeade

A new bridemaids dress in a brand new color is making a big impact in our store! After Six #6689 (pictured below) is sampled in a stunning shade of lux chiffon called "Limeade," and although it's difficult to see in the picture, the color is a soft shade of neon green.

Because it is so playful and unique, we can see this color becoming incredibly popular for upcoming summer weddings. This inspired us to make an Inspiration Board of color, perfect for brides who don't shy away when it comes to bright colors and bold statements.

The 2014 Wtoo Bridesmaids collection is already a hit at our store. Whether you are seeking a little lace dress or a flirty, chiffon one-shoulder for your bridesmaids, the Wtoo collection has something for you.

Here are our newest arrivals:

Wtoo 696 & 697:

These sweet amour lace dresses are right on trend for 2014. Style #696 has a flattering ballerina neckline and a soft, crystal chiffon skirt which adds a fun and flirty vibe, while style #697 is an all-over lace sheath with a dramatic neckline. Whether you are wanting all your girls in the same style, or want to mix-and-match, these dresses are perfect for both!

Wtoo #696

Wtoo #697

Wtoo #602: 

This cocktail length chiffon dress is a fresh take on your traditional bridesmaids dress. While it is a beautiful, flowy dress, the cut-out strap details make it stand out from the crowd. Its interesting details make it the perfect dress for girls who want to wear something a little different.

Just In: After Six & Dessy Bridesmaids

You'll be seeing alot of these posts in the coming weeks as new dresses are arriving daily! Here are some of our  most recent!

After Six #6668: 
This cocktail length, chiffon dress from After Six features a pleated side skirt. Its simplicity makes it the perfect dress to add bold accessories to, such as a statement necklace or a fun shoe.

Dessy 2906: 

What makes this floor-length, chiffon dress stand out from the rest is the intricate cut-out neckline and pleated bodice. We think this dress is perfect for any bridesmaid or mom who wants to be on the fashion forefront at the wedding!

Just In: Wtoo Bridal

Our two brand new arrivals from Wtoo Bridal are a perfect fit for our collection of gowns! Both are elegant, effortless and perfect for brides hoping to wear a brand new style at their wedding.

Wtoo Poeta: 
We don't see many mermaid-style gowns made of lace, and that's what makes Poeta stand out from the crowd. It also features plenty of delicate details, like scalloping on the skirt and fabric-covered buttons. We love that Poeta allows for a refined, romantic look, but still shows off curves in all the right places.

Wtoo Avenza: 
The two words that best describe Avenza are definitely "Sleek" and "Sophisticated." For a bride who wants modern details, Avenza has an interesting, architectural neckline in a sturdy Mikado fabric. This dress includes an embroidered brooch, but we think this dress would look great with a sparkling, crystal belt at the waist!

Do You Have a Little White Dress For Your Wedding?

Little White Dresses are one of our favorite bridal trends. The Watters Encore collection leads the list of designers who are offering brides a way to stand out on more than just their wedding day.

These dresses are perfect for any bridal event leading up to the big day & even after - wear it with a pink sash for your bridal shower, pair it with a denim jacket for your engagement photos, look like a beautiful bride at your rehearsal dinner, or wear it for a fancy sea-side dinner on your Honeymoon.

We think that every bride should invest in a Little White Dress! As comfortable as they are classy, they are a great way to feel like a bride throughout your entire wedding planning process.

Watters Max, New for Spring 2014

Watters Stella (#5714):
Stella is a fresh take on a traditional bridesmaid look. While a strapless cocktail dress is pretty standard bridal party fare, this Mikado dress has the perfect amount of structure to make it look stylish as well as sophisticated.

We welcome the Mikaella Bridal collection to our store

At bridal market this fall, we fell in love with the Mikaella collection by Paloma Blanca! This designer's aesthetic fits in perfectly with our trademark Miss Ruby style - simple, elegant, and streamlined. From vintage lace styles to dramatic mermaids, these gowns are sure to make you shine on your big day!

The Mikaella collection is magnificently crafted from the highest quality fabrics and stunningly accented with beautiful hand detailing and embroidery. Mikaella Bridal gowns offer the look, the feel, the elegance, and the classic sophistication of high fashion couture gowns at an attractive price. Plus the gowns are made in Canada (not overseas like the majority of bridal gown collections today). This means lead times are shortened and there are fabulous rush options for those brides with little time.

We are receiving new gowns from this collection weekly, and we are excited to share them with you. Take a look at our new arrivals below, and then make an appointment at Miss Ruby Boutique to welcome our new arrivals by Mikaella!
