We were thrilled to have found such an amazing group of women to create this styled shoot with and cannot get over these stunning images!!! Our vision was simple: focus on the connection between the couple and let this historic venue space speak for itself without all the extra frills and fuss. Nina (RSVP Glam) and Melissa (Melissa Waulters Artistry) worked together to create our models’ natural and elegant bridal looks. While the models were in hair and makeup, Kari (The Astor) gave us a tour of this incredible building and helped us scope out the best spots for portraits. We could not have asked for a better real life couple to work with than Kenna + Emily. These two were the absolute sweetest and made it so easy for Gina (GE Creative) to capture their natural chemistry without feeling forced or posed. Everything came together just as we had imagined and we are obsessed with the results!

Grand Opening
It has been one week since our Grand Opening party and we are still just bursting with excitement! The number of people who stopped by to check out our little shop and send well wishes absolutely blew us away. Speechless is the best word to use. We truly cannot thank you all enough for your love and support!
We are so incredibly grateful to have been so warmly welcomed into the Historic Walker’s Point neighborhood and have the opportunity to bring something new to Milwaukee’s wedding industry. An extra special thank you goes out to all of the talented vendors who contributed in making the night a huge success! We couldn’t have done it without you!

New in Town
Hey there! We’re Strike Bridal Bar! We are modern. We are edgy. We have gorgeous gowns. We’re new in town.
If you got the John Mulaney reference, congratulations on becoming our new best friend! But in all seriousness… we are SO excited to share with you what we have been cooking up! We have spent the last year (almost exactly to the day) dreaming up the perfect wedding dress shopping experience for you. And not to brag, but we think it is pretty freaking amazing.
Every detail was obsessed over and decided with our brides in mind. From our location, to the color of our walls, to our signature drink, to each gown we selected, we wanted Strike Bridal Bar to be YOUR dream shop + experience. We are dying to meet you + celebrate your love story with you!
Appointment booking is now live for our VIPs so grab your bride tribe + book your bridal suite for your second most important YES! Not on the list, but still dying to get a pre-opening appointment? Well…we might have a soft spot for you, futurestrikingbride. *hint hint*
See you in three weeks, babe!
