Planner or stylist? What’s the difference

When planning your big day, things can get a little out of hand with how many suppliers/vendors and services you require to pull off your ultimate dream day.

Employing a team to bring your vision to life can be a great way to make sure all the smaller details are covered without you having to worry about them! I mean let’s face it! Planning a wedding is stressful enough so enjoying the lead up is JUST AS important as enjoying the big day itself!

So, planner or stylist? What do you need and how do you decide?

The difference between a Wedding Planner and a Wedding Stylist is pretty easily (and I should say often) confused.

Here we will outline what the roles entail, hopefully making to make it a little clearer for you to make your decision on what will suit you best and of course suit your budget! The role of the wedding planner/coordinator.
