Bridal Stylist
Hey friends, I’m Leena! I am a Striking Bride turned Striking Stylist who loves helping brides-to-be find their perfect dress for their big day! When I started researching bridal boutiques in Milwaukee to decide where I wanted to shop for my wedding dress, I immediately fell in love with Strike. I resonated with their focus on inclusivity, body positivity, and offering wedding dresses for the unique, modern bride.
When shopping for my dress, I booked only one appointment, and it was at Strike! I was so happy to say ‘yes to the dress’ during my first and only day shopping, but I wasn’t too surprised since I had an idea of what I wanted in my head before I came in for my appointment. After following (or stalking) Strike’s Instagram, I knew the Alena Leena brand was going to be the perfect match for my bridal style. Not just because my name is kind of included in the brand, but I thought all of the Alena Leena dresses are beyond gorgeous & unique. We always say that most brides do find their dress during their first time shopping, and I am proof of that! Since my amazing experience at Strike Bridal Bar as a bride and the excitement of planning my wedding, I fell in love with the whole process and wedding dress industry.
As a fashion + lifestyle blogger, I have always loved styling and putting together the perfect look. Which is why I knew that I would love styling brides! Since joining the team at Strike as a Weekend Stylist, I have had so much fun helping fellow brides find their ideal dress and accessories to make them look (and feel) beautiful, confident, and striking on their wedding day. Plus, watching our brides pop the confetti & celebrate with our Signature Drink is an amazing experience!
My current favorite wedding dress (besides mine…) in the shop is Myrtus by Alena Leena!

”I visited and tried on a ton of dresses with Leena. She was amazing. Very kind and super helpful. Also the fitting room itself is pretty stunning. I was pretty blown away by the selection of dresses. I feel like I’ve gotten to a pretty picky point of specific guidelines and I still had a ton of amazing options! I also appreciated how many alternative options to ivory there were. And the vibe is super inclusive.” - Lauren C.
