should you hire a Wedding Stylist?

A wedding stylist is still something fairly new to the UK wedding industry, but a role that many modern couples are now embracing.

But what actually is a wedding stylist? And what do they do exactly?

Simply speaking, a wedding stylist is someone who works closely with you to ultimately help define your style. They’re experts in creating visual identities through visual elements of your wedding. How a wedding looks and feels is a form of communication in which a couple can tell their story and show off what they’re all about to their guests, so this is where a Stylist can really prove how valuable they are by helping make this happen.

Some Wedding Stylist’s provide styling elements such as florals, rentals and decor, whereas others will simply help choose and oversea these vendors as well as bring them all together on the day itself. Some stylists may even go as far as to assist the couple with their bridal attire and wedding party. But no matter what service you choose, their ultimate goal is to create a cohesive look throughout.

So why would you need a Wedding Stylist?

Stylists are key for couples who feel the overall look and atmosphere of their wedding day are just as important as the planning elements. With the help of social media, online blogs and publications, couples are now becoming a lot more adventurous with their decision making and find themselves being even more inspired than ever before. We’re also now incredibly blessed with so much choice and variety when it comes to choosing suppliers and vendors. But with so much choice available, some couples find the process extremely overwhelming. Many will have a vision or a great Pinterest board, but then struggle to know how to bring it to life. So this is where a stylist comes in:

~ They’ll work with you to define your various styles and tastes

~ They’ll put together detailed Inspiration Boards and Mood Boards that capture the very essence of a couple and their story

~ They’ll work on a beautiful colour palette

~ They’ll manage your design budget and suggest ways to stretch it so that you can achieve something desirable, but with a realistic approach

~ They’ll ensure every detail is carefully considered from the florals and furniture hire to each table setting

~ They’ll source and suggest suppliers best suited to your desired aesthetic and work with them throughout the entire process

~ They’ll be there on the day to help bring everything together so you can relax and know that everything is in hand
