Difference between a wedding planner and stylist

Years ago it was seen as rather extravagant to hire a wedding planner to plan your whole wedding day. But, thankfully we are in a different time now and more couples are hiring help so they don't have to go it alone! With all sorts of weddings happening and all sorts of budgets available, couples are turning more to stylists and planners to help them with this.

It can be confusing when searching for some help, as they both offer different services and is important you find one that suits your needs and is the right fit for you. 

A stylist will be all about the visuals and the atmosphere for your venue. They will work on the aesthetics, bringing all the design details and decor to life based on what reflects you as a couple.

It is important to recognise that all planners and stylists work differently and have their own unique services they offer.
