Miss Ruby Boutique

eeling like what I will wear on my wedding day will be SHOW STOPPING! I am honored to be a Miss Ruby Bride!!

inventory so well and was constantly pulling more dresses she thought I would like. She made me feel so comfortable and excited about the process. She is a HUGE reason I said yes to my dress at Miss Ruby’s.

y dream dress and she was amazing. She worked so well with the group of girls I brought with and they all loved her. I didn’t end up finding my dress until the very end of the appointment, and Hannah was on point with helping me pick out what worked well with my taste. I didn’t feel pressured at the end at all, but knew that was actually the dream dress. So excited to get to wear it next year!

members and I. Thank you so so much Hannah for being so amazing! I highly recommend Miss Ruby for all future brides!

t styles, and ones that I even said I was not interested in. It really helped me narrow down what I liked when I went in for my appointment. Cannot thank Hannah enough for all her help, and am so excited to see my dress!

ked at the store. They informed me that they didn't but that they had a bunch of new styles from the same designer. I was able to book an appointment for the very next day to come in and see them. I worked with Hannah and she was incredible! She was easy to talk to and knew exactly the style I was looking for. I had a Sunday appointment and found my dress; however, I didn't have my fiances mom and sister with me at that appointment and I knew I wanted them there to say yes to the dress. We were able to make another appointment for the following Wednesday and I asked her if she could play along and pretend like we never came on Sunday and that I didn't find my dress. When the whole gang arrived for the Wednesday appointment, she played along and it was actually a really fun experience because of that! My gang all got to pick out dresses and my future sister in law actually picked out the dress that I fell in love with at the Sunday appointment. We said yes to the dress, drank champagne and celebrated. It was an amazing experience! Thanks again for everything Hannah!

my consultant, Hannah Claire, was fantastic! She did a great job of reading my preferences that I had filled out prior to the appointment. She was so patient, kind, and thoughtful. She helped me navigate the experience with expertise! I went in thinking I wanted one thing but throughout the appointment realized I wanted something completely different, and she was there every step of the way! She helped me accessorize to complete my vision! I ended up getting a perfect dress at my first appointment and I could not be more thrilled!

fabulous place to buy your dress.

mermaid style dress like I was, they have tons!

appointment to help me get a better feel for them. When I got to the in person appointment the dresses were already pulled and in the dressing room ready to go. I was very indecisive and she was very patient and did a great job helping me come to a decision without being pushy. She was the perfect person to work with! The place was also a gorgeous with big fitting rooms, great lighting and a great adorable vibe. I had a great overall experience! I highly recommend! Especially if brides are nervous about in person shopping, being able to do a virtual appointment with them first to make sure they have dresses you are excited about is a great way to start the process while feeling safe!

ng that they did have it and that I could come pick it up. A few days later, Miss Ruby closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, which is completely understandable. Miss Ruby re-opened a few weeks after, so I called to see if I could stop in and get my necklace. That’s when I was told that they no longer had it and that it had been either thrown away or misplaced. They offered no consolation for my necklace that they had lost. It was a huge disappointment. For this reason, I would not trust them with something as important as a wedding dress.

ylie was absolutely amazing to work with, she pulled dresses out of my box, but still within reality of what my interests were. The team as a whole did a great job prior to my appointment to know what I was looking for in my experience as well as my fears. Being a plus size bride, dress fitting was always a huge fear of mine. If you need plus size dresses and want to feel just as welcome, go to Miss Ruby! They had dresses to try on that were to big, a problem I NEVER have, and it was so comforting to know they were there to help me feel just as beautiful as everyone else.

stions I had, and provided a great experience. Although they don't have a seamstress in house, they provide a list in the Milwaukee and surround areas which worked out perfect. My bridesmaids also got their dresses at Miss Ruby's and their experience was equally as fantastic! I loved that the ladies could have their dresses shipped to them especially since I had some that lived out of state. I wish I could get married again to shop for more dresses at Miss Ruby! Highly recommend!

odge podge. When I tried the dress on and stood on the pedestal, the mirror was not large enough to see my entire body in. Half my height was cut off. I just don't feel like it was an optimal environment to buy a dress. Most importantly, the lighting was awful! I could not get a good idea of what the dress looked like in pictures and in person. Drastic shadows do not flatter anyone or give an accurate representation of the dress. Additionally, the store is VERY confusing to get to. I feel like it was a maze, and a chore just to get to your location. I would not recommend any of my friends to shop here.

was envisioned, but other dresses as well to see what style fit me best! I ended up falling in love with a dress when I thought I was just going to "look". I didn't feel pressured at all the entire visit and came out loving a dress and having an amazing bridal experience! I highly recommend them!

was late because of Chicago traffic, and they even stayed late so I could finish trying on a couple dresses. I worked with Hannah, and she was WONDERFUL. I actually visited twice - the first time I couldn't make a decision, but I was never pressured at all to rush into anything. I went back and worked with Hannah again, and I was able to pick my dress right away. Both times I brought just my mom with me, but Hannah was so kind and accommodating about taking lots of pictures and FaceTiming in my sister and friend. The dresses were gorgeous and in a wide range of prices. They had a great mix of styles and silhouettes, and they're one of the only stores in the area with Madi Lane dresses! I couldn't have been happier with my whole experience, and I highly recommend brides check out Miss Ruby's! (and work with Hannah!!)

t gorgeous!

was my first appointment ever. She really took the time to understand my style and involved my party in all dress opinions. We ended up leaving with a favourite, but not a decision and proceeded to 2 other appointments - neither of them as great as the first. Not only did I keep coming back to the dress I eventually said yes to, but the experience is really what had me saying yes. I can't wait to receive my dress in May and go from there!

oped for. I felt beautiful, confident and (so cliche), but I felt like a bride! They were so fun and easy to work with and reassured me with any concerns/questions. Thank you for helping me feel as beautiful as I did on our big day!

reat. I felt like she really matched my vibe and she was also very efficient. She made me feel great and reassured me when I felt hesitant or unsure about my decisions. She didn't go out of my budget and pulled things that I loved. I could've walked out in any dress she pulled for me and been happy. Everyone we encountered was so helpful and willing to go out of their way. They were really kind and helpful to my family as well, especially my older less mobile family members, which meant a lot to me. I never felt pressured or rushed. I had another appointment but I ended up cancelling it because I found a dress I loved at Miss Ruby. I'm so glad to have had the experience I did!

style in mind and many places didn't even have that style (even out of my price range) for me to try on. I loved how encouraging the style attendants were and how much thought and time they put in to your appointment. I even scheduled another appointment later for a bridal styling night to find a belt/sash. The style attendant helped me to realized i didn't even want a belt and was being swayed by my family's thoughts! She helped me to not spend another $200 and that's just amazing in the wedding industry. I couldn't recommend Miss Ruby's enough! Their warm, affectionate and caring staff will definitely help you find your dream dress!

y consultant and she was wonderful....knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and she checked in on how I felt in each dress. The selection was great and I was able to try on a variety of styles so I could feel confident in what I wanted. After I found my dress, Meg helped me find accessories to complete the look, and we were offered champagne to celebrate. It was a truly wonderful experience that I will remember always. We went to a few other boutiques in town to look at bridesmaid dresses and none could compete with the experience Miss Ruby provides. As a result, we came back to pick out their dresses too. I can not recommend Miss Ruby enough to anyone looking in Milwaukee!

ded up buying! As a self-described over-thinker, Meredith walked me through my decision & options very carefully and let me stay and mull it over in the store with my sister for much longer than expected. I also came back to shop for bridesmaid dresses and veils/accessories. Overall their staff was excellent, and I loved that I was able to find something unique that really felt like me.

nt a lot. She never pressured me to make a decision without being certain. I ended up saying yes to my dream dress! The boutique is a bit difficult to find in the building (thank goodness for the signs on the way!), but worth the maze to get there!

my dress. Meredith made sure I tried on every style to make sure that it wasn’t “the one.” All of the staff was so nice and helpful. They definitely make sure you get your moment. If I had to do it all over again, I would start there first.

njoyed the whole process of trying on a variety of beautiful dresses, and was absolutely over the moon when I found THE ONE! The environment was so relaxed and beautiful to be in, which added a cherry on top of the whole experience. I definitely recommend this place to future brides looking for their dress. Thank you so much Meredith and Miss Ruby!

red her dress there (the others ordered directly from Dessy.com as it was cheaper/faster), but this bridesmaid lived right next to Miss Ruby's so it made sense. It came in about TWO WEEKS (eek) before my wedding even though we ordered it months in advance. That was terrifying and caused lots and lots of last minute stress, even on my wedding week with alterations for my MOH, and for that, that's the only reason I rate them one less star than five. Otherwise they're really handy because you can text them whenever, and they're all really sweet and friendly. The dress situation was largely out of their control, and they handled it with grace. Definitely recommend this as an experience worth trying. :)

out how much alterations would be, what the seamstress would do, and the best of the best in the area was above and beyond anything I expected. Thanks for going along with my weird self and making finding my dress such a special day!

raged me to try on a few other dresses in varying styles (all of them were beautiful!), but my mom and I compared each dress to the initial dress, which we ended up ordering. Miss Ruby's kept in touch while I waited for my dress to arrive - they regularly called or emailed with ETA updates or to answer my questions about accessories and bridesmaid dress options. I felt confident working with Miss Ruby - my dress arrived when expected and fit perfectly (I did order a size smaller than what they recommended, however I did also lose weight in the time between ordering and picking up my dress). Miss Ruby also provided recommendations for seamstresses - we used one on the list, and I couldn't have been happier with how my dress (and the entire experience beginning with shopping for my dress with Miss Ruby's) turned out! Highly recommend!

s on visit one. But they made me feel so comfortable, and there was a methodology to narrowing in on “the one” that I felt so confident in. I walked out choosing something that I had no idea was what I wanted, so I am very grateful for the staff’s expertise and input. They also helped gather multiple opinions from employees and work with me to suggest customizations that helped land on the perfect dress. I can’t wait to get it!

s Ruby’s to the first wedding dress I ever tried on. The staff was great and the boutique is beautiful! I want to go back to get a veil too :)

n" at the time. I would recommend going here for sure but they don't have a wide variety of styles available.

esses for me that I never thought I would like, but ended up loving. They helped me find the perfect wedding dress and celebrated with me when I said yes to the dress. Overall, Miss Ruby’s is by far the best bridal boutique I’ve been to and it made my experience that much better.

ey carry. You pick your top 6 choices to try on. I really loved this!! The way the salon organizes different styles and colors helped us see fabric, colors, styles and fit. She was able to vocalize the must haves and have nots so that every dress we chose to try on that day fit her comfort level. After the bride tried on all her top selections, her consultant Megan put her in her top pick, a mermaid style, one my daughter would never have picked. We had a moment in time I will never forget, she knew the second it was zipped this was her dress. We cried and shared a champagne toast as our consultant and nearby staff joined to give my daughter compliments and congratulations. This was an awesome experience from start to finish. This was not our first bridal appointment but definitely our favorite. The dresses here are of superior quality, they carry top designers At moderate prices!!! No sticker shock! All dresses were in our price range. We were able to try on about eight dresses, and ended up saying yes to the last dress. I would highly recommended visiting the salon, my daughter is thrilled to be a Miss Rubie bride

on the big day!

hile I was home to do wedding prep – “just one store!” – and I agreed, and I am SO GLAD that we wound up at Miss Ruby. Thanks to the wonderful staff, I tried on just a handful of dresses before finding the one for me. They were able to work with me on pricing and made it easy to handle ordering and pickup as a long-distance bride. I also found a gorgeous veil and headpiece there, but they didn’t try to upsell me – just gave honest opinions on what worked and didn’t. They also provided a great list of trustworthy nearby seamstresses to get my dress fitted perfectly.

nd different options to find a solution to my concerns. I went way over my appointment time and I was never rushed or pressured. I would recommend this boutique to anyone looking to find a wedding dress! They go above and beyond for their clients and they have a great selection to choose from! I seriously cannot recommend them enough!

ing date - which they clearly did not review. I have a shorter 12 week window and they kept our appointment even with that information on hand. When we were finally picking dresses, I was told that only two dresses in the entire boutique would be available within my time frame. It felt like a waste of my time. They did send a pleasant follow up text but I wish they would have just told us before we spent the time getting to and at their shop that there was practically nothing available for me there so I could have made an informed decision about visiting. While we were waiting, I did hear a few brides who said 'yes to their dress' and were offered complimentary champagne to toast to the exciting moment, which I thought was very nice.

on. You also get to browse the store and pick out choices as well. After every dress I tried on she had me talk out loud on how I felt in it and what I liked or didn’t like. As silly as that sounds, it really helped me decide on what I didn’t want and made it so much easier to pick THE dress. I actually had another appointment after this and I knew I didn’t want to try on any more dresses and just had to say YES! to my dress! We had a champagne toast after and then went over alterations. They made sure that any slight change I wanted to be done to the dress could actually be done before the final purchase (which they could!). I would absolutely recommend this place and will be telling all my friends to check this place out! Thanks for making all my wedding dreams come true!

h of this place!

tell that she loves her job! She also helped us pick out my bridesmaid dresses and again helped us to pick the perfect combination of dresses. The boutique is beautiful and relaxing unlike other bridal shops I have been to. Every time I called, my questions were answered and everyone I talked to was kind. Thank you for helping to make my wedding day so special!

ce range to accommodate your needs. I went through four other stores/boutiques but kept coming back to the Wtoo Watters Julienne dress I found at Miss Ruby's. They had the exact style I was looking for and paid attention to the little details. One small hiccup along the way came when it was time for my belt and veil accessories to arrive. The veil came in earlier than expected but the belt from JAXIE took much longer than was originally quoted. However, the Miss Ruby stylists were kind and followed up frequently to update me and my quite anxious mother; it came in plenty of time for my seamstress to tack onto my dress. Overall, I would highly recommend Miss Ruby's to any other bride. I loved the experience and have several friends who also found their dream dress there.

so special and wonderful for me! I'll never forget it!

house seamstress, however, they gave recommendations and we got to choose one that maybe fit our budget, style, etc. Overall, I would absolutely recommend them!

ced. I would highly recommend Miss Ruby!

omize with a seamstress to meld the two dress styles together. It turned out better than I could have imagined! The prices are also VERY affordable at Miss Ruby. I knew I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg, and Hillary was able to pull tons of dresses that were well below my budget, but looked 100% better than anything you see on Say Yes To The Dress :)

o help us celebrate! Such a nice little touch

ferent aspects of wedding dress shopping!

imple yet elegant dress for my big day and Sarah at Miss Ruby was able to help me find just that. I spent a lot of time looking at bridesmaid dresses that came in ivory due to the budget that I wanted to adhere to but Sarah got even more creative than that. She pulled some bridal tops and skirts for me to try on. At first I was skeptical but Sarah knew what she was doing. When I finally tried on the tops and skirts I knew that was what I wanted. I eventually settled on the perfect combo and was able to say "yes!" to the dress! I shopped with my maid-of-honor and bridesmaid (sisters-in-law), my mother-in-law, and my childhood nanny. Once I said yes to the dress we were greeted with some bubbly to toast to the perfect gown for my big day! Sarah was super nice and a great bridal stylist. She knew exactly how to help me find the perfect dress. The payment and pickup process were both super easy and I was very happy with my overall experience with Miss Ruby. The shop is located in the Third Ward which is obviously a great perk as it's one of my favorite parts of Milwaukee. I'd highly recommend Miss Ruby when searching for your perfect dress. They have a huge variety and all of the staff are super nice! I'm actually bummed I don't have an excuse to go back and shop again.

arry it in store! The store is adorable and feels much more comfortable and cozy than most other salons. Customer service was a million times better than any other bridal salon I had been to (Brandi’s and David’s Bridal). I really felt like they truly cared about me finding the perfect dress, not just making commission (how I felt at a different salon). I would 100% recommend making the trip to Miss Ruby Boutique, you won’t regret it!

r we scanned my Pinterest board together. I ended up getting my dream dress at Miss Ruby.

vice, the selection, the brands, and of course the boutique itself is gorgeous. I also really enjoyed that they didn’t force me to get my alterations done there since I was 2+ hours away. My consultants name was Braylee, and she was friendly, honest, and so helpful! Worth the drive!!!

d, and just made it a nice experience. I’m telling everyone to buy their dresses there.

h to make a sale and paid close attention to the parts I liked/disliked about each dress so she could select better options. Prices: I don’t think I tried on anything under 1,000. My dress was more than I hoped to spend, but worth every penny. And the consultant would tell me the price before I tried on so there were no surprises. Only 50% due at time of ordering, which gives you another 5-6 months to save the rest! Collection: A smaller collection compared to the other shop I visited before this one but the style and quality was far superior. You don’t need 1000 options (nor would you want to try on that many dresses) when the ones you’re trying on are so great. Dresses: A more modern and stylish feel than the other shop I visited. Each dress looked unique and actually meets Pinterest expectations. Accommodations: I had a broken foot when I went and the consultant made sure I had a chair in the dressing room to make it easier to get dresses on. She also helped me get everything on and made me feel comfortable being half naked in front of a stranger ;) Delicious champagne to top everything off once I said yes to the dres and they helped me and my party take pictures after. Even if you wouldn’t find YOUR dress here, I would recommend making it your first or second stop just for the experience alone. Thank you Miss Ruby for helping me find a dress beyond my wildest dreams!

sed her wedding dress there. I enjoyed that experience so much that I wanted to give Miss Ruby a try when it was time to find my wedding dress. I had the pleasure of working with Jimmy and we hit it off immediately! He is fun, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Due to my indecision, Jimmy recommended I try on different bridal gown styles (a-line, ballgown, etc.) along with those that fit the description of what I thought I liked. After listening to what I liked and didn't like about certain dresses, Jimmy picked out the dress of my dreams, and I did not want to take it off! He then picked out the perfect veil and accessories. I cannot praise Jimmy enough for having me try on several different styles, because in the end, it reassured me that my dress was the one and only dress for me! I found other bridal places to be pushy and impersonal, this is not the case with Miss Ruby. Ever since I said yes to the dress, Miss Ruby has kept in touch with me to see if I had questions and to keep me updated about the arrival of my dress. Their 10% discount on bridesmaids and mother of the bride/groom dresses is also a nice bonus. Jimmy helped me find a bridesmaid dress that complimented my dress and in the color I wanted too. He then mailed swatches of my dress as well as the bridesmaid dress to me in a timely manner. The list goes on! I could not be happier with my experience at Miss Ruby, it has been one of my favorite parts of planning my wedding. Go to Miss Ruby, you will truly be taken care of during one of the most important times in your life!

ked to have a seat while I waited, but instead, I decided to take a look around. 20 minutes later, there is still no Jimmy and I was informed that he was now parking (so apparently 'grabbing champagne' meant he was physically off site to get it?!) and it would be just another minute. I told the woman that I was on a time crunch and needed to be out of there by 3pm. She said she would get another consultant to work with me instead. Why this wasn't thought of 20 minutes earlier is beyond me. I then got a new consultant who went out of her way to explain that he was in the middle of trying to eat lunch... she was so inconvenienced by me being there is was palpable. I tried on a few dresses and she made no attempts to fluff, straighten or position the dresses while I was on the pedestal ... instead my bridesmaid was the one doing it. She hardly made any comments and was visibly bored and annoyed. My bridesmaid and I were truly uncomfortable and couldn't wait to get out of there. For a process that is supposed to be special, fun and exciting, I felt less than important and more like a nuisance. Although I did find two dresses that I liked, I will NOT be coming back to purchase either. If you are looking to try on dresses, maybe try the other options first and save Miss Ruby for last.

for the appointment. Once there, Meg was so fun and attentive. They had a great selection and I was able to find my perfect dress there! Meg even helped me find bridesmaid dresses. I would recommend this boutique and staff to any bride wanting a special and intimate experience! ❤❤

s place is absolutely beautiful. It made for a wonderful experience trying on dresses. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Thanks, Miss Ruby!

l salon.

he exact look I was envisioning for my maids. Which was a challenge as all of my bridesmaids have different skin tones and figures. The designers they have in stock and sheer selection of beautiful dresses was amazing. I would STRONGLY recommend this shop! It was a wonderful experience! I cannot wait to see them all on the big day!

perfect to make you feel comfortable making a huge decision like buying a wedding dress! The appointments are a little longer than most places at 1.5 hrs so you do not feel rushed at all. They are pretty hands on, so they let you choose dresses you and your party like, but also make suggestions along the way. The consultants are there to give as much or as little help as desired. Speaking of consultants, words cannot describe how amazing Val is! I found my dress after trying on 4 dresses. I knew it was my dress, but Val was so patient and let me go back and try on one or two others just to make sure I was ready to make a decision. I put THE dress back on and she surprised me (and my mom) by putting my hair up in a similar style that I'll be doing it for the wedding, put on a veil and a beautiful belt that just completed the whole thing and she had everyone crying happy tears :) I'm pretty sure Val was genuinely just as happy as we all were to pop the champagne (yes, if you find your dress here you get champagne!) and say Yes. This was my first and only stop for wedding dress shopping and it was the most incredible experience for me as well as my family! Thank you Miss Ruby and Val!

There were modern, simple, and traditional styles available. I'm so grateful someone recommended Miss Ruby's.
