So, what is the difference?
Sami, a local Margaret River wedding planner from The White Owl Collective explains:
“There is a common misconception that a wedding planner is similar too or interchangeable for a stylist; they are really very different in so many ways. Sure, as a wedding planner you need to have some form of creativity but our main responsibilities are to the logistical aspects of your wedding. We assist from the very start, with budgeting, correspondence & coordination of your vendors, right through to the running of the day making sure everything is set up and runs flawlessly.
As a stylist, this is where your full design base comes in. They bring your vision to life, sourcing the best vendors to suit your style. They provide you with assistance for all things pretty, helping to create that wow factor that you are after.”
