Why book a professional: Stylist.

If the thought of colour-coordinating linens with the perfect, in-season blooms, while considering the seating arrangement of your 150 guests, and making sure the delicate individualised cupcakes are impeccably presented for the opening of the ceremony, sends waves of panic and horror over
you - it’s time to book a stylist.
Quite simply - these guys know what looks good, where it looks good, and the logistics of how the setup will look on the day and in the photographs.
PHOTOS ARE FOREVER
It’s worth putting in the effort, and a bit of dosh, to get your day looking picture-perfect - it’ll frame the style of the day, and will have a massive influence on the overall look and feel of your wedding photographs. A good stylist knows how to tie in all aspects of the day aesthetically, from the table settings through to entertainment for your guests. You’ll get to look back on the most-visually pleasing, love-filled day, without being distracted by haphazard decorations or questionably large table settings that block the faces of your guests.

IT TAKES THE STRESS OUT OF THE DAY
You might be one of those people who finds it hard to relinquish control when it comes to organising your day, but a good stylist will take the weight off your shoulders whilst still making sure everything is exactly as you want it. You’ll still get to direct, but they’ll bring their expertise to the setup plans - and, on the day, you can trust that everything is being put together by the pros, so you can sit and relax while getting pampered by your hair and makeup artists.

THEY HAVE COOL STUFF
And they might even bring some unique ideas to the table that you hadn’t considered! If you’re stuck for ideas, or just don’t want to take on the challenge of coming up with schemes and decor - Get. A. Stylist. Stylists often have some really unique and quirky pieces that would otherwise be super expensive to purchase.
