From Inspiration to Reality - Wedding and Event Styling

Recently, I wrote a blog post on the new trend in weddings and events, the Styling aspect. Above is a great video on transforming your inspiration into a reality.

The Barn at Walnut Hill is a post and beam barn with attached farm house, built in 1887 and restored in 2009 to serve as a wonderful wedding location nestled in Maine.

    Styling - The New Wedding Trend

    Styling...it's the newest trend in the Wedding and Event Planning world. Ten years ago it was mainly full planning. Five years ago the new push was for the DOC (or Day of Coordinator). And now, it's styling. With the onset of the DIY bride and blogs like Style Me Pretty and 100 Layer Cake, the wedding stylist was born. I have personally seen a boom in my business with clients wanting me to style their wedding.

    By style, I mean take their 500 pins from Pinterest and turn all of those ideas into a cohesive look. It is awesome! I love it...it is so much more creative than just being the DOC, and I really get to work with my clients on a one-on-one basis to make their wedding ideas come to fruition. Here are a few examples of weddings I have styled recently.
