White Violet are Wedding & Event Stylists - Setting the stage for lasting memories visit their website here We asked White Violet about their role in setting the stage for a wonderful wedding: As a venue stylist I will meet with my couples to discuss their wedding vision. I will help them with colours, fabrics, props, signage, florals and decor to create a beautiful cohesive scheme. I will style and set up on the day and collect all the hired items the day after the wedding, Once the couple are happy with the styling proposal, I will manage all the details of styling the venue, so that they can focus on other aspects of their wedding planning. They can totally enjoy the wedding day itself without the stress of styling the venue and won’t have the worry of collecting, packing away and cleaning all the props the following day as that service is all included.
