The process behind saying YES to the DRES

Every bride will interact with a bridal consultant at any store she goes to shop in. 
From deciding on a style, to topping off the gown with a veil and accessories, a bridal stylist's job is to create a look that brings a bridal vision to life and create that perfect moment of bliss and happiness.

At the salon I work at, we have what is called a "Bridal bell ceremony" in which we get not only the bride and her party, but the entire salon involved to celebrate a bride finding her dream gown. Her name and wedding date is announced to the salon and she is asked to make a wish and ring the bell as loudly as possible while everyone around her applauds and celebrates with her.

This ceremony is made to not only encourage the bride and her party in finding the one, but to create a sense of excitement throughout the entire salon that encourages other brides to find the one in order to participate in the ceremony as well.

As a bridal stylist, these are my favorite appointments. Not only am I creating a lasting memory for this bride-to-be, but I help make life long dreams come true daily and making women of all shapes ans sizes feel confident and beautiful.

Being a bridal consultant can be difficult, stressful, and down right draining some days, but seeing the look on a bride's face when she finds "the one" is so rewarding and makes every other bad appointment worth it.

From the bottom to the top!

From the bottom to the top! Being a bridal stylist is not only about helping a bride find the perfect gown, it's also about helping a bride complete her complete look. From her shoes all the way to her veil, a stylist is in charge of making her  feel like a bride, not just a dress. ~ ~ Finding the right pair of shoes can not only make a bride feel more confident, but it helps the bride stand taller (literally) and gives even the shortest of brides a longer look. ~ ~ Adding a belt to a dress can completely transform the look. Not only can it create a flattering waistline on the bride, but it can also add some glam and elegance to even the most plain gowns. ~ ~ A lot of brides spend a good bit of money on their hair and makeup for the wedding day, so having the perfect headpiece is also incredibly important for their look. A headpiece also accents the bride's hair and still gives a look of drama during the ceremony after the veil is removed. ~ ...

Choosing the right colors! There are a lot of things to think about when planning a wedding. Venue, entertainment, food, decor, but one of the most important early-on decisions is the color theme. While it might seem like a simple detail in a wedding, it can affect almost every other aspect of the wedding- not to mention the wedding party that will appear in a majority of the photos. Most bridal stores have a running pallet of colors to chose from that create a large variety of combinations for the bride and groom to create their vision with. Choosing the colors to decorate your wedding and party in can be a difficult decision. There is a lot of things to consider which can make or break the overall look of your big day!

Choosing a gown & having a vision

Image
Choosing a wedding dress is one of the most magical experiences a girl can have, but it can also turn out to be one of the most stressful ones as well. Deciding on THE ONE can be a hard decision, but with proper preparation and a great stylist, you will be able to breeze through an appointment and confidently make your decision. ~ Going into an appointment with a good idea of what kind of style and shape you want in a gown is a great plan to get things going, but walking in with too specific of a vision can lead to disaster- especially if the gown you have been researching is no longer in production or way out of your price point. ~ Creating a good foundation of a vision for yourself will give your stylist the tools to create a look and pull a few pieces to help you narrow down your selection and ultimately help you make the decision on a gown. Being flexible also helps, because most brides who go in with a specific style of  dress end up not liking it on their ...
