Wedding stylist. <\/a>It’s a relatively new concept\u00a0in the\u00a0world of weddings amongst\u00a0us commoners, but celebrities and, of course, royalty, have long sought the services of these highly skilled – and highly creative – individuals to help them pull off a picture-perfect wedding.<\/p>\n

However, given it’s an\u00a0emerging profession, modern brides often have questions around what a stylist will do and what they won’t do, but, of course, the first questions is: what is a wedding stylist<\/a>?<\/p>\n

This is perhaps doubly true of weddings, where there can be multiple teams of people flung together to create a couple’s vision. In such a dynamic environment, once you find a trusted and reliable wedding stylist, it can be quite easy to want to entrust every aspect of your big day to them.<\/p>\n

Add to that the fact that there is often a lot of crossover between wedding stylists<\/a> and that other well-known wedding professional, the wedding planner, and suddenly the parameters of the job become a lot less clear.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there are a few relatively easy ways to keep things in focus as to what your wedding stylist <\/a>is and isn’t there to do. By employing a few of these tactics, you can rest assured that your big day will not only look beautiful but it will\u00a0run smoothly!<\/p>\n

The most important thing to keep in mind when delegating tasks to your wedding stylist <\/a>is that they manage the aesthetics of a wedding; the colour story and theme, for example, and, even asking your wedding stylist <\/a>to come along to a wedding dress <\/a>consultation \u00a0is well within the remit of a wedding stylist.<\/p>\n

Anything that falls outside of the operational aspect of a wedding is generally not included in a wedding stylist’s<\/a> duties and is, most often, the responsibility of a wedding planner<\/a>. Unlike a stylist, a wedding planner<\/a> operates much like a project co-ordinator.<\/p>\n

While there may be some crossover between your wedding stylist<\/a> and wedding planner<\/a>, your wedding stylist <\/a>does not handle anything outside of the aesthetic aspect of your wedding, unless is is agreed to beforehand with the wedding planner <\/a>or event coordinator.<\/p>\n

Ok, so what don’t wedding stylists do?<\/h2>\n

While it may be easy for us to declare that anything \u201coperational\u201d is not the responsibility of the wedding stylist<\/a>, the reality is that there are many exceptions to the rule, and every wedding stylist is different.<\/p>\n

There are, however, some things that are definitely not on the list of a wedding stylist’s <\/a>responsibilities. Some of these things include: planning the program for the ceremony<\/a>, liaising with vendors<\/a>, coordinating transportation<\/a>, and hiring the music or other entertainment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are exceptions to these things, too, so before you decide to hire a wedding stylist, <\/a>it’s a good idea to sit down with him or her and hammer-out the finer details, and what duties they will be able to fulfill to help make your special day memorable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33544,"template":"","au_article_tag":[64,136,143,134,63,83,139,133,51],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/33543"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/33543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=33543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
