Owner
Amy
Amy is a Milwaukee native who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She was a preschool teacher, and a long-time Nanny and Personal Assistant before moving to Neenah where her husband is from. Seeking a change and to fulfill her passion for fashion and bridal gowns, she joined the staff at Erika’s in 2018. When the opportunity was presented to purchase Erika’s in 2021, she knew it was a dream come true.
Amy believes there is a gown for every bride. She is patient, welcoming, and has created a boutique that is about the experience and not pressure. Her favorite part of each appointment is standing back and watching a bride fall in love with a gown. She loves getting to know each bride, since they become family. Amy will continue Erika's tradition of bridal designers unique to the Fox Valley and excellent customer service.
Fun Fact: Amy wore a Dessy dress for her small ceremony in Las Vegas and an Enzoani gown for her larger celebration. She found both of her dresses at Erika's Bridal Couture.
