Erin - Boutique Owner
Why do you love working at Miss Ruby?
The people! Our team & our guests. Every day I get to lead a team of passionate women that are truly committed to making a positive impact on our guests & our community a better place. And I love getting to know the guests that enter our boutique, hearing their stories, and being a positive part of their day.
Why are you passionate about working with brides?
I love the opportunity we get to have a positive impact on our brides. It's so inspiring to learn their stories and to walk with them through this special moment in their lives.
What is your passion outside of work?
My 2 kiddos (3 & 2 years old) keep me pretty busy! I also love to spend time outside, and I love hiking, traveling, running & reading.
How do you take your coffee?
No coffee here - tea for me! And can't wait for our signature Miss Ruby tea coming soon!
Sadee - Boutique Manager
Why do you love working at Miss Ruby?
Ahhh, what a question! I love working at Miss Ruby for so many reasons! One of my favorites is how brave & courageous of a team we are. We are all so passionate about creating a space that truly welcomes everyone no matter who you love, what you look like, where you came from, how you identify - you are welcome here & you matter to us!
Why are you passionate about working with brides?
There is something so wonderful about being able to help someone look in the mirror & feel empowered & confident in who they see. There are so many things that cause us to struggle with who we are & when you're planning a wedding, even though it might not feel like it, you are more sure than ever of who you are & what you love! So, being able to help a bride truly believe that they are the truest version of themselves & that alone deserves to be celebrated is why I love what we do here at Miss Ruby's!
What is your passion outside of work?
Outside of work (and inside) I am passionate about creating a present & a future that is safe for the LGBTQ+ community. Part of this means staying up to date with all of the anti lgbtq+ legislature that is being presented &/or passed so I can figure out where & how to help next. I am committed to doing all I can to ensure that we can live in a way that allows us to be seen & to be PROUD of who we are & that comes with a lot of hard work.
How do you take your coffee?
With wine... hahah just kidding. I love my coffee with a splash of cream so you can still enjoy the taste of the coffee.
Molly - Assistant Manager
Why do you love working at Miss Ruby?
Working at Miss Ruby's has been an empowering experience. I always wanted to work in a boutique setting but I was worried it was not going to be the right fit for me. I've been so happy to be part of this team. It's not your typical workplace, we are all so invested in our brides and making a difference in the community. I feel celebrated for being my most authentic self.
Why are you passionate about working with brides?
My passion for brides starts in the appreciation of every bridal gown. I feel that every dress was designed for someone and there are so many unique and special gowns just like our brides! It's amazing to be a part of their journey and even when two different brides have the same venue, they could take totally different directions in their style! I've seen so many different say yes moments and love to see the creativity and passion our brides have for finding their gown.
What is your passion outside of work?
Outside of work, I love to be in my yard hanging with my flowers and plants. When I can I get to trader joe's and go on a shopping spree in the floral department! I like putting flowers together for friends and for the boutique! I also have the cutest dog, Brekkie, who keeps me busy. I've always wanted to have a dog and he's my first pup ever and my Fiancé and I are obsessed!
How do you take your coffee?
I only started drinking coffee at when I was 24! I somehow went all through college without it! I used to have to put lots of things in my coffee but now I just drink it black. I love sipping coffee and hanging with Brekkie in the mornings before work. I also can't say no to a white chocolate mocha from Stone Creek Coffee :)
Peyton - Assistant Manager
Why do you love working at Miss Ruby?
I love working at Miss Ruby for a lot of reasons, but I'll share a few of the most important. I get to go to work every day at a place that values the same things I do and is a safe space for people to be exactly who they are! Miss Ruby was founded and built on values of love and inclusivity and as a staff we actively work to fulfill these values and "Our Promise", which you can read more about on our website. We practice what we preach and are always striving to be better! I also love being able to work in a space that is filled with women. It challenges and empowers me every day! My coworkers have high expectations of me in the work environment and push me to be my best, but then we also have deep friendships outside of the boutique.
Why are you passionate about working with brides?
My passion for brides is fueled by my love for helping people. I have always felt like a natural born leader and as a Lead Stylist and the Sales Assistant at the boutique, I get to use my leadership to help others! I absolutely love being able to impact the women in my community in a positive way by helping them feel confident, empowered and special. I also get to leave almost all my appointments with a new friend! I love to follow my brides on social media and keep up with their lives after their wedding! There is not much that beats the feeling that you get when you are able to create lifelong memories for brides and their group members. It is so special!
What is your passion outside of work?
Outside of work I love to watch and play sports. I would definitely qualify myself as a WI sports super fan. You can find me in the stands at Lambeau Field at least 3 or 4 times this season, even at the winter games! I also enjoy taking walks around my neighborhood, playing card games with my partner, exploring craft beers and wine, and spending time with family and friends by doing things like going to the beach, boating, bonfires, and dining at my favorite restaurants. There are a few things that I have been hoping to do more of in the future as well! It's my goal to start traveling more. I'd love to visit Spain, Greece, Italy, Japan, Ireland and Costa Rica! I would also love to challenge myself to read more books and dive back into previous hobbies like scrapbooking and crafts.
How do take your coffee?
I usually ordered an Iced Americano black. But sometimes if I am feeling spicy, I will add a splash of cream or a pump of a seasonal syrup flavor!

Why are you passionate about working with brides?
I love working with brides -- each one is so special and such a joy to get to know their stories and what sparks excitement in them! A wedding dress to me is the one garment that is the most you to your core and I love seeing the dress that makes each bride feel like their best, most authentic self. Being able to be a small part of each of my brides wedding day is an honor that I hold close to my heart. Creating memories that brides will look back on and smile about is why I do what I do!
What are your passions outside of work?
My passions outside of work are ever changing! I love starting a new hobby and finding what sparks excitement in my life in different ways. I recently started painting again and I've always been an avid reader. My favorite books are mysteries -- I love trying to solve it before I get to the end as a fun challenge for myself. I'm always down for trying something new, I just went rock climbing for the first time ever and it was so much fun and definitely more challenging than I thought. What fills my heart the most is spending time with my amazing friends and going for the occasional wine walk by the river!
How do you take your coffee?
I love an iced chai tea latte with a shot of espresso (aka a dirty chai) -- best place to get one is Interval!!

Anna - Lead Bridal Stylist + Customer Care/Marketing
Why do you love working at Miss Ruby?
Working at Miss Ruby with our amazing team and brides is so fun! One of my favorite aspects of the job is witnessing so many special life moments and seeing brides supported by the most special people in their lives. The energy of that love and support is really palpable and it's the type of positivity and energy that sticks with me even when I've left the boutique for the day! It's just so cool to see people lifting each other up! I love working with brides through their ups and downs as well. It's a very unique job. I get to use my expertise combined with love and support for my bride. It's truly so special! :)
Why are you passionate about working with brides?
I love creating happiness and magic for our brides and facilitating special life moments. Not just our brides, but the support groups they bring with them as well! Also, deciding on your wedding gown can feel like a big decision and it can bring on some stress and fear. When I've helped brides work through that and just have fun and live in the moment, that is the best feeling! Every bride deserves to have a fun experience when wedding planning and shopping and I'm so passionate about giving them that special experience!
What is your passion outside of work?
I know it's cliche, but spending quality time with my husband and dog is my favorite thing in life!! Being so far from home, it's also important to me to keep up with my parents, family, and friends back home as much as I possibly can. I love to be on the move exercising and being active! I also LOVE to travel! I went to Europe last summer and I have the travel bug! Already planning my next Europe trip and vacations for 2024! I love being on the move and experiencing all that life and the world has to offer!
How do you take your coffee?
I'm a pretty simple coffee drinker! Drip coffee with a little almond milk. Currently obsessed with nut pod creamer though!!
Sierra - Bridal Stylist
Why do you love working at Miss Ruby?
Working at Miss Ruby is amazing because I get to share the unequivocally cherished life moments Brides and friends/family together. Additionally, Miss Ruby provides space for me to contribute as an individual and as a team to make the bridal and local communities inclusive and celebratory spaces for all people. Miss Ruby also challenges me to give back, make connections, and to truly embrace how awesome it is to be the most authentic version of yourself.

Why are you passionate about working with brides?
There is something undeniably special about being a part of someone's love story. As a stylist, I recognize the unique privilege I have to be a part of that chapter of someone's life. Empowering others and developing relationships with the amazing brides and families that come through our doors is rewarding and full of fun surprises. I find myself in awe of the beautiful people and love stories shared with me. I love helping brides feel amazing and encouraging them to recognize just how beautiful they are, inside and out! There is nothing like it!
What is your passion outside of work?
To say that I love estate sales and thrifting is an understatement. I love to find unique things that make my home come to life! When I'm not discovering the latest trinket or vintage piece, I love spending time with my cats, hanging out with friends, and spending time on the lake, and venturing for the best cup of coffee in Milwaukee.
How do you take your coffee?
Venti vanilla iced latte, please ;)
