When you're planning a wedding, everyone has an opinion. Your brain thinks you don’t need the fancy tablecloths, your best mate swears you can do it all yourself with a their help, and somewhere between table plans and late RSVPs, you start wondering if hiring a stylist is just another “nice to have” you can’t justify. budgeting for.
Let’s set the record straight: a wedding stylist is not a luxury. They’re a lifeline — especially if you’re craving wedding decor that feels actually like you, not something copied and pasted from last year’s trends, or what you grab on facebook marketplace because it was 'cheap'.
But wait – what are wedding stylists?
Not to be confused with decor hire companies (no shade, but let's be clear), a wedding stylist doesn’t just hand you a list of props and say "good luck". They're creatives. Designers. Visionaries who take that tangled ball of ideas in your head and turn it into something wildly personal and drop-dead gorgeous.
And at Un-Traditional Wedding Stylists, we’re not about cookie-cutter weddings. We’re here for bold choices, personality-packed spaces, and throwing out the rulebook if it doesn’t feel like you.
Why our kind of wedding styling is different
We're not just chucking candlesticks on a table and calling it a day. We co-create your wedding’s visual identity — a look, a mood, a vibe that tells your story in every little detail. From the ceremony backdrop to thest napkins, every piece is considered.
Yes, you could hire some props and style it yourself. But are you really going to have time to be fluffing table runners the morning of your wedding? Thought not.
When you book with us, you're not just getting decor. You're getting:
2 stylists who gives a damn about you — not trends, not what everyone else is doing.
A cohesive, head-turning design that’s built around your relationship, not a template.
2 people who will be there, on the day, making sure every last candle and colour pop is perfectly placed.
Because here’s the truth: your venue is a whole damn gallery displaying you both, and we’re the curators who know exactly how to make it sing.
“But it’s a big investment…”
Look, we get it. Weddings are expensive. And hiring a stylist is a big decision. But here’s the thing: when people walk into your space and say “Oh my god, this is SO them,” that moment? It’s priceless. It’s also exactly what we do.
Think of us like your creative BFFs with a van full of magic. We take away the overwhelm, the guesswork, the last-minute panic. So you can actually enjoy your day — not stress over whether the signage is straight or if the tattoo bar makes sense.
THE TRUTH: Yes, stylists are worth every penny
Especially our kind of stylist. If you're after a wedding that feels intentional, not Instagram-imitated — and you want someone who’s going to listen, elevate, and deliver with zero faff — we’re your people.
So is hiring a wedding stylist worth it?
Only if you want a wedding that feels unapologetically, radically, fabulously you.
