Planning a wedding involves a lot of moving parts and your dress is one of the most important. That’s where a Bridal Dresser comes in. But what exactly does a bridal dresser do, and why is hiring one worth it? Here’s a complete guide.
What Is a Bridal Dresser?
A bridal dresser, also called a bridal stylist or wedding day dresser, is a professional who helps the bride and bridal party with their dresses, accessories, and overall look on the wedding day. Their main goal is to make sure every detail of your outfit is perfect, from steaming delicate fabrics to adjusting trains and veils.
