Diary of a Bridal Stylist #1 – Our Top 10 Wedding Venues Part One

As a stylist, communication with our brides is our number one priority. We ask questions about you and your plans for your big day so we can get to know your style – that way we can recommend dresses that not only suit your shape but your personality too.
Some of the following are just the run of the mill wedding questions; “What flowers are you thinking about? What colours are you considering for your bridesmaids? Have you chosen a venue?” – all of these questions allow your stylist to get an idea of how you want your day to look and how you want to feel.

Having worked in the industry for a long time, we get to know vendors, suppliers and hear of venues that most people wouldn’t normally know of or find on a Google search.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be launching a new blog series entitled, “Diary of a bridal stylist.” Within these blog entries, we’ll show you our top picks for vendors and venues that we’ve come to know and love, our tips for dressing for your shape, bridesmaid ideas and much more.

Our first topic is all about Venues! Probably one of the biggest decisions regarding your wedding day. Whilst some couples choose one space for both ceremony and reception, others opt for separate venues. The options are endless – outside or inside, local or overseas. We’ll be posting our Top 10 Wedding Venues over the next two weeks in 2 separate blogs.

We hope you enjoy!
