BRIDAL STYLIST

hi, i’m jimmy and i could not be more amped to be a part of the strike bridal bar team!  

i’ve been styling brides in milwaukee for over a decade, and i truly can’t imagine doing anything else. helping someone find the dress - the one that makes them feel confident, comfortable, and completely themselves - never gets old. every appointment is different, and the moment a bride realizes “this is the one" is still just as exciting as it was when i started. what makes it even more special is doing it at strike: a small, female-owned business that genuinely cares about its community. the inclusivity and support here are real, and being part of a space that champions values that matter to me means everything. 

when i’m not at the shop, i’m usually hanging out with friends (drinks and lots of yapping), playing video games (mario + pokémon forever), trying new restaurants like cassis, saffron, and goodkind, or staying active with tennis and running.

what our brides have to say about Jimmy...

“the moment I stepped into the studio, i felt so warm and welcomed. the team was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire experience. i worked with jimmy, and he was absolutely amazing! he really understood what i liked and didn’t like, and made me feel completely comfortable, confident, and like a STRIKING bride. i’m so happy i got to say yes to the dress with this team!”

“i can’t recommend strike enough for wedding dress shopping! they have an incredible selection of dresses, and the entire experience was fun, relaxed, and completely stress free. while the beautiful boutique and amazing dress selection were impressive, the true highlight of my experience was my stylist, jimmy. he was an absolute joy to work with—fun, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect dress. he listened to what i wanted, offered honest guidance without ever making me feel pressured, and made the entire appointment feel so special. if you’re looking for a wedding dress, ask for jimmy. he made what could have been an overwhelming experience one of my favorite parts of wedding planning!”

“we were in town from mpls and i was so excited to find a small bridal boutique! jimmy was fabulous for my first bridal appointment! i had no clue what shape of dress i wanted and he made sure I had a chance to see so many options on my body. i was comfortable the entire appointment and getting in and out of each dress was seamless! he made me feel seen and heard and it was a calm and fun appointment! 10/10 would recommend for the milwaukee brides!”
