At Love Bridal Boutique, every stylist has a story and a passion for helping brides feel their absolute best. Today, we’re introducing Sydney, one of our warm, kindhearted bridal stylists who brings both creativity and calm to each appointment.

From her start in the Midwest to her new life here in Florida, Sydney’s journey is filled with inspiration, adventure, and a true love for bridal fashion.

1. Can you tell us a little about yourself and how you became a bridal stylist?

My name is Sydney. I grew up in Minnesota and first started working in bridal in 2019 in Minneapolis. I’ve always loved the magic of helping someone find their dress, and I’ve only ever stepped away from the industry for a short time to pursue my passion for yoga. I became a yoga teacher in Hawaii, but before long, I found myself missing my brides—and my family—so I moved to Florida. Now I’m so happy to be part of the Love Bridal team!

2. What inspired you to work in bridal fashion specifically?

I love helping people feel their best on one of the biggest and most memorable days of their lives. Seeing that confidence and joy when a bride finds the dress never gets old.

3. How long have you been working as a stylist, and what’s your favorite part of the job?

I’ve been working in bridal for almost five years, and my favorite part will always be my brides. Each one has such a unique story and energy, and it’s an honor to share in those special moments.

4. What’s the first thing you ask a bride when she comes in for an appointment?

I like to start by learning about my bride—who she is, how she met her partner, and what her vision for the day looks like. It’s important for me to understand her story so I can help her find a gown that feels like her.

5. How do you help brides who feel overwhelmed or unsure of what they want?

I try to be a calming, grounding presence for my brides. It’s completely normal to feel unsure, and I want them to know they can lean on me throughout the process. My goal is to make the appointment feel relaxed and fun, never stressful.

6. What are some common misconceptions brides have about wedding dress shopping?

Many brides think they need to know exactly what they want before they come in, but that’s not true! It’s perfectly fine to try on a variety of styles—you might be surprised by what you fall in love with.

7. What dress trends are you loving right now?

I’m currently obsessed with drop-waist ballgowns! They’re elegant, flattering, and have such a timeless yet modern feel.

8. What’s something most people don’t realize about being a bridal stylist?

It’s an incredibly rewarding job. You get to be part of such an emotional, exciting experience in someone’s life, and that connection is really special.

9. What’s your #1 piece of advice for brides before their first appointment?

Always remember to have fun! Wedding dress shopping should be joyful, not stressful. Trust the process and enjoy every moment.

10. What should brides bring (or avoid bringing) to their appointment?

Bring the people who make you feel your best—those who will be honest, supportive, and positive. Avoid bringing too many opinions or anyone who might make you second-guess yourself.

11. How can a bride make the most of her bridal styling experience?

Be present, trust your stylist, and let yourself enjoy the moment. When you focus on how the dress makes you feel rather than trying to please everyone else, you’ll know when you’ve found the one.

12. Any last thoughts or messages you’d love to share with brides-to-be reading this?

Just have fun and be happy! You’ll look beautiful no matter what you choose, and the best dress is the one that makes you feel like yourself.
