When couples book this

Usually booked about 9 months out. It moves with your date.

Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone

Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.

What look and mood are you going for?
What would you love a stylist to take on?
How do you want décor sourcing handled?

What to ask each candidate

Facts that differ from one vendor to the next — worth writing down while you shop.

What should the stylist cover?
Who sources the décor items?

What settles once booked

The working details you and your vendor pin down together.

Style direction & mood
Design concept / mood board review
Does the stylist direct the rest of your décor?
Is the stylist on site on the day?
Personal items to style in
Heirlooms, photos, guest-book table, card box — the things only the couple can supply.
What time do they arrive?
The time you agreed together, not an estimate worked back from the ceremony.
What time do they finish?
Who do you call on the day?
The name and cell number of whoever is on site — not the office line.
Where do they come in, and where do they park?
The load-in door or dock, where the vehicles go, and who opens up.
Do they need a meal?
Counts toward your caterer's vendor-meal number.
What balance is due on the day?
Your own figure, from your contract — what is still owed when they arrive.
What gratuity are you planning?
Your own figure. It rides beside the balance on the day-of money sheet.

What your vendor reads from your plan

Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: the event, design, logistics, décor across the plan, contacts.

Plan your event stylist — and everything around it

These questions live as one cell of a connected plan: your budget, guest list, checklist and timeline all read from the same answers. See the whole board work, or join the waitlist and we’ll write when it’s your turn.
