Decide What Miss Ruby Experience is Best for You
There are so many different appointments to choose from! Knowing which one is best for you is a very key part to making your shopping experience super successful! Do you prefer a quieter, more calm environment? Or would you love to be surrounded by the energy of other bride-to-be's?

Browse our Curvy Pinterest Board
By browsing our collections on our Pinterest page you will have the chance to get a peek at all the gorgeous gowns you will see in store! If you have ideas or photos of your own, those are always helpful to show your stylist so that they understand your style. Every gown in store is chosen with our brides in mind and our curvy collection was specially curated to make our brides feel secure, supported, confident, and beautiful!
Complete your Bridal “Love story” Document
You will find the pre-appointment “love story” form in your appointment confirmation text message. By filling this out your Miss Ruby Stylist will be able to select gowns they know you’ll love before you even arrive!
Imagine the Way You Want to Feel in Your Gown
These are non-negotiable characteristics about the dress that you need! It is so important to know the way that you want to feel in your dress when you put it on. This will help you differentiate your wedding dress from all the other dresses you try on! Whether you want to feel supported or sexy, your stylist will pull gowns that leave you feeling your most confident self!
Wear Comfortable Undergarments
When you are coming in to try on wedding gowns we would recommend that you wear the undergarments that make you feel the most comfortable and confident! Most brides prefer nude seamless underwear, a nude strapless bra, and sometimes spanx/shapewear. Whatever you choose to wear is totally fine with us. As long as you feel amazing in your own skin, that’s all that matters!

Come Open-Minded to Different Styles
We ALWAYS encourage every bride to come in very open-minded about the dress shopping process. Our stylists are trained to know exactly which gowns are going to make you feel the way you want to feel on your big day! Even though a dress that your stylist pulls may not have the exact lace you love, they may have pulled it because they know that when you put it on you will feel amazing in it! Maybe you thought that you would NEVER wear a fitted gown but your stylist has one in mind that they think is going to make you feel incredible… just try it, you never truly know until you try.
