Every man wants to propose to a girlfriend and every woman wants to get married so they can celebrate love as much as possible.

How To Differentiate Between A Wedding Planner And A Wedding Stylist
We have all seen the leads of Made In Heaven rushing around with their clients, trying to fulfill every requirement of theirs. From flowers and timings to outfits and beauty treatments, they are shown to be the one solution to all wedding-related problems. However, the reality is slightly different. Wedding planners and wedding stylists have different roles for the couples. These responsibilities might overlap in some instances. But mostly they remain separate. There is no one-stop shop in the wedding industry. Everyone is an expert in different fortes. So, your knowledge of who can do what for you will make things easier. So, let us see what the difference is between a wedding stylist and a wedding planner. Before we get to the all-important dissimilarities, let us see who a wedding planner and a wedding stylist actually are and what they do.
Who Is A Wedding Planner?
A wedding planner is someone who manages the design, planning and organization of a wedding. They are like event planners but much more than that. A wedding planner is the one who works on the mood of your wedding. They are responsible for the logistics, sourcing and other annoying things that many of us do not like to think about. Primarily, a planner’s responsibility is to help your vision come to life by hook or by crook. That includes getting the caterers on board, having the decor settled, and making sure that the guests are having fun. Think of them as the real-life Bittu and Shruti from Band Baaja Baraat. Everything happens under their guidance!

Who Is A Wedding Stylist?
A wedding or bridal stylist is someone who is solely focused on the aesthetic value of your wedding. By aesthetic value, we mean how the couple and their family look. It is all about the fashion for a wedding or bridal stylist. Think of them as a red carpet stylist but for your walk down the aisle. Just like Cinderella’s fairy godmother, a wedding stylist and their team are there to make your D-day outfit dreams come alive.
The primary job of a wedding stylist is to make sure that you feel confident on your big day. They are wedding fashion experts, constantly up to date on the latest collections, designers and the best hair and makeup artists. Additionally, they know what works best for each body shape and skin tone. They are also experts at making sure that all your best features are highlighted. A wedding stylist’s responsibility extends to helping you shop for your outfits for each event. This includes your dress, accessories and everything else! They will also help you understand what to invest in and what to let be cheap about. Also, at your request, they can help you organise your trousseau!

Can A Wedding Planner And Wedding Stylist Work Together?
As you already know, a wedding stylist is not the same as a wedding planner! Additionally, we just told you about the different roles of the two. But the pending question is, can the two ever work together? The answer is a resounding yes! You must remember that a wedding planner is responsible for bringing your vision to life. The aesthetics are entirely in their control. The couple’s outfits come under that aesthetic. So, a wedding stylist cannot go against it. Apart from this, there may be other instances where the two might come together. This can be in terms of invitations or wedding favours, even bridesmaids’ outfits. Additionally, wedding planners and stylists often have a tendency to get together when shopping for outfits. So, do not discount this possibility.

Goals That A Wedding Stylist Has
Like any professional in the wedding industry, a wedding stylist also has goals to fulfil. As the name suggests, the primary purpose of a bridal stylist is to make the bride’s outfit dreams come true. So, they help in shopping for the dress and the accessories. Now, the bride looks like a fashion icon, so the groom cannot be left behind. This is the second goal of a stylist. Ensuring that the groom also looks his absolute best for the big day. Now, with families living outside India, shopping for the parents can be tough. This is where stylists can help the most! Through virtual shopping, the parents and siblings with the bride and groom can shop for their event outfits too! Finally, deciding the outfits for the bridesmaids is the task. These are the main goals of any wedding stylist. However, depending on the services they offer, they can be extended to practically anything.
