Wedding Styling
I was three months away from being married when it dawned on me that in the midst of all the other planning, I hadn’t even considered what I was going to wear. Not to mention that I had two groomsmen who were also waiting for me to tell them what to wear. The only thing that prevented me from full-blown panic, was knowing how professional and capable Lianne was, having worked with her before. From the first phone call, Lianne re-assured me that it could all get done, but that we needed to hustle. Lianne took a ‘project-manager’ style approach, determining what needed to happen, in what order and by what date. The ease with which we went through the process is a testament to her amazing energy and easy-going personality. For my big day, I didn’t want to spare any expenses, so I opted to go for a fully-custom suit. Lianne told me about a person she thought would be great, and we scheduled a meeting. Lianne complemented the services of the bespoke tailor perfectly – relying on their expertise on developing the perfect fit, while confidently insisting on design choices she knew were essential to the final look. Once the suit was taken care of, she skillfully crafted the rest of the outfit from shoes to pocket square and every accessory in between. Now, it was time for my groomsmen – a different challenge all together. Lianne knew I wanted to stand out, and she also knew that my two groomsmen had completely different builds and would never fit into the same off-the-rack suit. She decided to put us each in a different shade of blue, allowing the accessories to ensure we looked cohesive. The next challenge was getting time with the groomsmen, who are both impossibly busy professionals. Lianne found spots in each of their calendars at times that were convenient for them. Having chatted with them each afterwards, their reviews were positively glowing. One of my groomsmen actually ended up buying three suits, instead of one, as he was so grateful to have an expert with him while he shopped and wanted to take full advantage. In the end, the tireless efforts Lianne put in were all worth it, as the groomsmen and I all looked great and my wife and I will have fantastic pictures to look back on for years to come.
