How Do You Want to Look on Your Wedding Day?

There are more possibilities out there than ever before, and finding pieces that reflect who you are can be complicated. Since 2004, the sole focus of my business, The Stylish Bride, has been to make sure that each of my brides achieve her ideal vision of herself.

Let me show you how.

“We always recommend that our brides work with The Stylish Bride because Julie makes finding the perfect dress seamless and stress free.”

Step 1

Consultation

The process begins with an in-depth consultation either in person or via Skype. This is where we really get to know you and your personal style. We will ask you lots of questions that have been honed over the years to give us a picture of who you are. By the end of this meeting we will know what makes you feel great.

Step 2

Customized Itinerary

Next, we put together a customized itinerary designed specifically for you. We take you only where you need to go based on your style. This maximizes your time and prevents wedding dress overload. At each salon we work with the best of the best to make sure that your experience is perfect.

Step 3

Shopping

During the appointments, we guide you, make suggestions, pull dresses and help you navigate the entire process. Because we are not paid by the salons or designers, our advice is completely non-biased. Our only goal is that you find a dress that makes you feel amazing!

Anjuli

The gorgeous bridesmaid dresses, my CUSTOM yellow Naeem Khan, over the top Oscar dress, and playful Naeem fringe dress are ALL attributed to you. It was your vision and amazing taste that brought all of this together, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Charlotte

For my black-tie, DC society wedding, Julie helped me find my perfect dress, along with several other wedding weekend outfits, schedule and facilitate fittings, find a new tailor for my fiancée’s tuxedo when his fell through, outfit all the bridesmaids and groomsmen, go on the dress search for my mom, and even went so far as to personally fix a snag on my shoes over FaceTime when others couldn’t.

Meredith

I needed a team that could not only guide my initially broad vision for my wedding attire, but also procure and connect me with the right specialists and resources to make it happen. The relief I felt once meeting all of you and getting lead by the hand through all the steps of the process was significant -- a huge exhale that calmed and relaxed everything from that point on.

More Than Just the Wedding Dress!

Our Services Include:

After Party

Get down, get down! Most of our brides change into a dancing dress when it’s time to party. As much as they love their wedding dress, they are always ready to take it off and dance the night away. We help our brides find the perfect second look, and if it’s not out there on the market, we have it custom made for them.

Mothers

Many mothers have a harder time finding their dress than the bride. They often say to us that they want a dress that is modern and young, but appropriate for the setting, and that won’t outshine the bride. It has to be within the palate of the wedding, and they almost always want arm coverage. Depending on what all of these details are, it is possible that it just doesn’t exist. That is when we have it made. If we can’t find it in the marketplace, then we work with one of our small designers to bring the vision to life and make sure that the mothers feel great!

Groom

We often advise our grooms on the best places to purchase their tuxedo or suit, have one custom made, and how to attire the groomsmen. We have resources to make their look personal and come together through items like custom ties, fun socks, and unique cufflinks.

Bridesmaids

You want your friends to feel great on your wedding day, but this is often easier said than done. For the most part, bridesmaid dresses look similar and aren’t very flattering. We help our clients come up with a concept that they not only love, but will keep their friends from hating them! This can mean selecting existing bridesmaid dresses and styling them with accessories to create a complete look, or starting from scratch and doing something custom. Whatever road you choose to take, we will help you get the look that you want and keep your friends happy.

Gifts

Many of our clients give their bridesmaids and groomsmen gifts that they can wear on the wedding day. We have amazing resources to help you customize, personalize and pamper your wedding party. We have done everything from creating custom ties, pocket squares and suspenders for the groomsmen to designing the perfect earring for each bridesmaid that coordinates with her dress. Because these items are your way of saying thank you to the people you love, it is important that they are special and unique.

Accessories

Style is in the details, and accessories play a huge part in your overall look. We have a dossier of resources for everything from the perfect veil, to the most gorgeous jewelry, the best undergarments and most comfortable shoes. If you like to get creative, we can also have items custom made for you.

Engagement Photos

Figuring out your outfits for an engagement shoot can be a bit challenging. How many different looks do you do? How do you make sure that you and your fiancée coordinate? What types of garments photograph the best? We will help you answer all of these questions and put your looks together to make sure you have a great shoot!

Other Events

We feel that each wedding is a fashion story that is an expression of the bride’s personal style. And while the wedding dress is the pièce de résistance, each outfit plays a role in the narrative. We help our brides, grooms and mothers select their attire for all of the events surrounding the wedding. This includes the Engagement Party, Welcome Dinner, Rehearsal Dinner, Bridesmaid Luncheon and Brunch. We will make sure that each outfit is on point and you feel great at every event.

Custom

Creating a custom dress can be a daunting task, but sometimes it is the only way to get what you are looking for. We have been creating custom dresses for our clients since 2004 and have developed a process to take the guesswork and stress out of it.

We do this by:

  • Exploring the existing market and making sure there isn’t something out there that works.
  • Explaining the process of making a custom garment and helping you decide if it’s the right path for you.
  • Helping you hone in on what you are looking for and introduce you to the designer that can best create that garment for you based on their style and aesthetic.
  • Attending the meetings and fittings with you and act as your advocate to make sure that you get what you are looking for.
