Choosing a wedding dress is the big dream of all brides and a job that they want to do almost immediately after receiving the proposal. However, it happens that the choice of a wedding dress is not so simple at all - it is difficult to navigate both in the choice of cuts and color shades of the dress, or simply you cannot find the wedding dress of your dreams in the store. Maybe then sew? But who? And we still have to agree with the groom...

In this beautiful but knowledge-demanding process, the best advisor and practical helper is a wedding stylist. What exactly does a wedding stylist do and how can he help the bride and groom, we asked a professional stylist with 10 years of experience Erika Melderi , who creates both style, hair arrangement, and wedding makeup. "I take care of the whole image from the ends of my hair to the heels. "

What is a wedding stylist and how can this professional help in a wedding?

The wedding stylist creates the overall image of the bride and, if necessary, also of the groom. Recommends the most suitable dress for the figure, height type, finds out the bride's color palette to determine which suits better - cool or warm tones. If the bride wants a white dress, then it should be remembered that white comes in different shades, and each bride should choose the most suitable one for her color palette. Also, bridal dresses are different nowadays. In accordance with the chosen dress and style, the wedding stylist recommends a hair arrangement and make up , which suits the overall image, and helps to find accessories that complement it.

How is cooperation with a wedding stylist?

At the first appointment, the stylist will determine your height type to help you find the exact outfit that suits you best. Will determine the bride's color palette and face shape to create the most suitable hair arrangement and make up . The work is not only with colors and dresses, the personality of the bride plays a big role - the wedding stylist will get to know you better to understand your essence, style and image in order to create the most harmonious solution possible. As well as the financial side - they will agree on the planned budget allocated for wedding dresses.

Sometimes a bride can get confused where to start - where to look for a dress or a wedding dress tailor. So a stylist makes a lot of the work easier to get to your perfect wedding look.

A wedding stylist will ease even a fraction of the large amount of wedding organization. The stylist has cooperation with domestic designers, tailors and wedding salons, so the stylist will be able to recommend the best option for creating or purchasing your outfit. Thus, saving time and energy, searching the depths of the Internet for seamstresses and designers, as well as walking through all possible wedding salons. By getting to know you and listening to your wishes, the stylist will know which salons are the most suitable for you, where there will be dresses to your taste and which will fit into the allocated budget.

How is the matching of the images of the bride and groom? I admit that couples tend to have disagreements - the groom wants an elegant suit, while the bride dreams of bohemian freedom in creating an image.

Golden words: "A woman is the neck of the family, who turns her head in the direction she likes, but the man thinks that he has figured it all out himself." We women are endowed with unique abilities as a sense of taste, so I advise men to rely on the taste of the woman they love. But if a man is really conservative, you can certainly find a middle ground. currently, the assortment of suits is rich in different fabrics, textures, colors, and cuts.

A wedding is a very important, beautiful and emotional event in every woman's life, but at the same time it is a stressful time where everything has to be planned, so I recommend hiring a wedding stylist who will make it easier.
