So, the planning has started for your wedding day, and whilst it is exciting, you may also feel overwhelmed at the sheer number of different options available to you and who to choose. This is especially true when it comes to decorating your venue, and you may be asking yourself:
- What is a wedding stylist?
- How do they differ from a venue decor company?
Truth be told, there is a big difference in the level of service. To help you make the best decision for you, here are my top 5 reasons to hire a wedding stylist:
1) Brings Your Vision & Theme to Life!
Chances are, as soon as the question was popped, you jumped straight onto Pinterest scouting for ideas! It’s an amazing tool for wedding inspiration, but it can also overwhelm you with too many options. How do you choose what works and make everything fit together? You might even have pinned different styles and be unsure which direction to go. This is where I can help! During our FREE consultation, I will look at your ideas, ask questions to understand your vision, and ensure your wedding is as unique as you are. With bespoke items, fine details, and personal touches, your wedding will reflect you as a couple—far beyond the generic decor many companies provide.
2) Works Within Your Budget!
It’s easy to get carried away with Pinterest-perfect ideas, but they can come with hefty price tags. A good stylist will help you focus on key elements of your design aesthetic while staying within your budget.
3) The Time Factor
Planning your wedding takes time! From booking the venue and band to sorting bridesmaid dresses, the cake, and favors—the list is endless. On your wedding morning, wouldn’t you rather relax with your wedding party than rush around setting up decor? A stylist handles all the setup (and takedown), saving you time and stress. Unlike decor hire companies, which often require you to collect, transport, and assemble items yourself, a stylist ensures everything is ready and perfect.
4) Looks at the Bigger Picture
A wedding stylist considers every detail:
- The venue’s layout, lighting, and size.
- Carpet, wallpaper, and decor features.
For example, a blank canvas venue like a barn or warehouse lends itself to various styles, while a country house with extravagant wallpaper needs careful consideration. A stylist creates a cohesive mood board tailored to your venue, theme, and color palette—unlike generic packages offered by hire companies.
5) Tried & Tested Suppliers
A wedding stylist works with reliable suppliers to ensure your day runs smoothly. With trusted vendors for furniture, lighting, and more, you don’t need to worry. Plus, your stylist coordinates with these suppliers, giving you more time to focus on the fun parts of planning!
Choosing the Right Stylist
Above all, choose a stylist who truly gets you. You want someone who shares your excitement and will go above and beyond to make your wedding day as unique as you are!
