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.

Choosing a gown & having a vision

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 ...

Here comes the Groom! A lot of people actually tend to forget about the groom/groomsmen until the last minute- no really. Even though the groom plays a major role in the wedding, most people think that their attire is a simple task that can be placed on the back-burner until later. While the groom and his party's suits are definitely not the first priority in the planning process, you definitely should not forget about the either! ~ ~ Every year there are more and more options regarding the groom and those who stand by him. Whether is the color of the suits, the cummerbunds, ties/bowties, and even the shoes! Boys are getting more of a unique though now more than  ever! The groom and his groomsmen typically all wear the same suit color, which are mostly available in neutral colors like grays, white, blues, and black.  ~ ~ It is more traditional for men to accessorize their neutral suits with complimenting accessories like bowties and suspenders that c...
