What a wedding stylist or wedding designer does

You have hours on Pinterest spent to get a Create a mood board for your wedding, but now you don't know where to start to turn this idea into reality? At this point, it would be perfect to have someone to organise the creative chaos, to make sure that everything fits together and harmonises and that there are no unwanted style clashes at the end. Someone who understands what makes you tick as a couple and what suits you.

This is exactly what a wedding stylist or wedding designer does.
They are responsible for the creative part of a wedding. If you decide to work with a wedding stylist, you can be sure that you will have an unforgettable and highly personalised wedding.

These are the tasks that a wedding stylist or designer will take on for you:

• The wedding concept - much more than just the colour of the flowersHe will find out which style you prefer if you are not yet in agreement or generally need support. A wedding stylist will create a coherent and unique design concept for your wedding. This reflects your individuality as a couple and includes everything related to the visual design of your wedding, from stationery, lighting and chairs to place cards.
• The right service providersA wedding stylist has a broad network of service providers and knows the market and current trends very well. They can help you to find the service providers that suit your style, for example photographers, florists, confectioners or a calligrapher or graphic designer to create an artistic design for the invitations.
• The small, fine detailsMany stylists also have their own stock of decorative items that they can draw on. This means you don't have to spend a small fortune on the velvet tablecloths you've been dreaming of or spend months trawling through flea markets to collect the necessary number of those gorgeous candlesticks you always admire in pictures. You can simply hire them from your stylist and don't have to think about what to do with 50 candlesticks or how to sell 12 velvet tablecloths after the wedding. Wedding stylists also know exactly which knife harmonises best with which flower vase. And if something is not available: they know someone who can provide you with even the most unusual little things.

  Furthermore, a stylist can suggest alternatives in case you have fallen in love with a table decoration that is simply out of your budget or cannot be realised in your chosen location for logistical reasons.

• Implementation on siteAfter you have mastered the planning phase together with your wedding stylist, the big day has finally arrived! Before the wedding, your stylist will make sure that everything is set up just as you dreamed it would be. After the ceremony, the stylist will take down the decorations and prepare everything for collection. So you can start your honeymoon completely relaxed or spend the morning after at brunch with friends or in bed.

How to find the right wedding designer

• Read the individual handwritingJust like every couple, every wedding designer is different. If you look carefully at the portfolio and the pictures at Instagram you'll get a good impression of the wedding designer's style. Rather boho, minimalist, classic? Do you like what you see? Then you should shortlist the stylist.
• Plan earlyGood wedding designers are booked out well in advance, especially for the most popular wedding dates. Therefore, contact the wedding designer of your choice as early as possible, not only to ensure that they are involved in the creative planning process from the outset, but also so that your preferred date is not already booked.
  Finding the perfect setting for your wedding will be much easier if you first decide on a style or theme and then choose the location to match. If you have already hired a lavish ballroom and realise after talking to the stylist that you really want to have a hippie wedding because that is much more in line with your passion, it could be very difficult to reconcile the two.
• Is the chemistry right?
  Arrange a meeting with the wedding designer by phone or, even better, by Skype. During a first meeting, you can ask important questions and get a good impression of whether the personal level is right.
  The customised design of a wedding is a very time-consuming and personal process. It is important that you not only have a good gut feeling and trust, but that you also understand each other personally and feel that you are in good hands.

What a wedding planner does

In contrast to a wedding stylist, a wedding planner takes on the organisational and logistical tasks of a wedding in a similar way to a project manager.

Wedding planners often offer different service packages. Although the names of the packages vary from case to case, the following areas can generally be distinguished:

Partial planning

Would you like to plan your wedding yourself, but need a little help in certain areas? Then partial planning is perfect for you. A wedding planner can support you in one or more of the following areas, for example:

• Support with concept development
• Creation of a timetable up to the wedding and on the wedding day
• Location search for registry office, church and/or wedding reception
• Organisation of the wedding ceremony
• Recommendation of service providers (photography, floristry, wedding cake, stationery, etc.)

All-round carefree package

If you want to sit back and relax while planning your wedding, a complete planning service is exactly what you need. Your wedding planner will organise all aspects of your wedding according to your ideas, so that nothing is left to chance.

The all-round carefree package usually includes the following services:

• Budget planning

  The wedding planner plans and monitors the budget for your wedding. The financial leeway you have for your wedding is important for many other decisions that a wedding planner makes. This includes, above all, the selection of service providers that fit into the budget.

• Selection of the location and suitable service providers

  First and foremost, your wedding planner can help you find a great location that meets your expectations and then book it for your desired date. A wedding planner can also suggest other service providers. Once you have decided on a florist, photographer or caterer, the wedding planner will book these service providers for you after negotiating the contracts. Checking that all parties are honouring the contracts is also one of the tasks that a wedding planner will do for you.
  Together with you and the caterer or the local kitchen, the wedding planner will create your wedding menu. Starter, main course, dessert or a buffet with a midnight snack - the wedding planner will tailor everything to your wishes and budget.

• Guest list

  The wedding planner will also discuss the guest list and invitations with you. They can give you tips on how to deal with tricky situations when choosing guests and how best to place which people at which table so that as many interesting conversations as possible can take place and your guests feel comfortable.

• Timetable

  The wedding planner will draw up a timetable for the day of your wedding and ensure that everyone meets their deadlines. They will take care of communication with all suppliers and service providers and ensure in advance that everything is booked and finalised for the best day of your lives.

Master of ceremonies

As the master of ceremonies, the wedding planner ensures that everything runs smoothly on the day of the wedding and also takes care of the many small and large concerns of the guests. This service is usually included in the all-round carefree package. However, if you have only booked part of the planning or have planned the wedding yourself and only need organisational support for your big day so that you and your family and friends can enjoy the day without any worries, then you can also book this service separately with many wedding planners.

This usually includes the following tasks:

• Contact for all service providers
• Set-up and dismantling of the event
• Handling and coordination of the entire logistics process
• Checking the schedule
• Ensure that the process remains in flow
• Wrapping gifts for guests

A question of budget

As wonderful as the dream of the perfect wedding with a brilliant team of the best service providers in the industry may be, most of us have limited financial means. It is therefore important to think carefully about which wedding service providers are really necessary and which you can do without.

Setzt Prioritäten und überlegt, wo eure eigenen Stärken liegen oder in welchen Bereichen ihr auf die Hilfe von Familie und Freunden zurückgreifen könnt. Wenn du selbst gerne kreativ bist und dir sowieso zutraust, das Styling Deiner Hochzeit selbst zu übernehmen, bietet es sich eventuell an, lediglich einen Hochzeitsplaner zu engagieren. Gegenteiliges gilt, wenn dir die visuelle Gestaltung bis hin zur Farbe der Serviette außerordentlich wichtig ist. Dann bist du gut beraten, einen Wedding Stylisten an Bord zu holen.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

So here is a brief summary

A wedding planner organises, procures, manages and controls. They think through everything that could go wrong and install a false bottom in advance. A wedding stylist, on the other hand, keeps an eye on the details. Think of them as the make-up artist for a wedding. His talent lies in creating the ambience you want. He combines everything from colours and fabrics to candles, flowers and cutlery to match your personal style. In our portfolio you can see that we offer many services and that the areas of wedding stylist and wedding planner overlap. We are passionate about the logistics, design and floristry of your dream wedding.
