More About Julie Sabatino and The Stylish Bride:
There isnât a top designer she doesnât have an ironclad relationship with â Oscar de la Renta named a dress after her â but she hasnât forgotten what it felt like to be bride-to-be with no idea of how to navigate the wedding shopping process. âI can remember feeling overwhelmed by the options and also humiliated and discouraged that none of the samples fit; I had a real crisis of confidence and looked for guidance, but there was no such thing as a bridal stylist in 2001.âKnowing there had to be a better way, Julie left her job in finance, enrolled in FIT, and launched The Stylish Brideâ, a full-service bridal styling company dedicated to helping couples navigate the world of wedding wear. Passionate about diversity and inclusion, she developed The Sample Size Solution â a portable product designed to help make sample dresses fit the bride â which has been applauded for its practicality and helping to address body size stigmatization. After years of being urged to share her wedding styling knowledge with the world, Julie wrote her book, Dressed, Styled and Down the Aisle which has been hailed as a âmust-read manifestoâ by insiders.

About Ashley Baumgartner:

It didnât take long for Ashley to turn her love of weddings into a career. Now, there is nothing she loves more than connecting with clients over the story of their own wedding day. When sheâs not behind the camera, you can find Ashley spinning her heart out on the Peloton bike, cheering hard for her favorite sports teams, or raising a little gentleman of her own. And, of course, thereâs nothing like dancing the night away to make her feel alive. You can find Ashley on social media @ashbaumgartner or on her website: https://ashbaumgartner.com/

Blending a documentary and editorial flair, Kristine crafts authentic images and lets the emotions draw you into her photography.

Do you find yourself utterly confused about what the roles are for a wedding planner versus an event designer and a wedding coordinator at your venue? It may feel like your on-site wedding planner at your venue isn't doing their job - but IS it their job? Listen to this super informative episode to get to the bottom of things.
