About Jaxie Bridal Accessories

HI, WELCOME TO MY STORY... My name is Jackie Barutha and I was born and raised a midwestern girl in the city of Milwaukee in Wisconsin. From a young age, I always had an interest in patterns, design and fashion. My mom, Renee, always knew I would follow a future in art and design based on my ridiculous obsession with my extensive Barbie doll collection. I would take HOURS "preparing" Barbie for playtime... her outfit just had to be perfect before she could go meet Ken for a date. From a young age, my creativity flourished through many different outlets including painting, sculpture and design. I was lucky enough to attend Pius XI High School in Milwaukee where I took advantage of many art programs the school had to offer. I then received my Bachelors of Arts and Communications with a Journalism/Graphic Design emphasis from the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater in 2004. After a lay off in the advertising industry, I decided to start my own freelance marketing division for a local area boutique and Milwaukee staple, Fred Boutique. It was at Fred where I started designing everyday hair accessories for the store. Gossip Girl accessories were all the rage but weren't offered in the midwest at an attainable price point. So insert ME! The community responded with extreme excitement and I soon found myself with a full blown brand. 15 years later, still making brides shine!Read their story
