Recently we had the opportunity to meet two amazing women who are redefining style by providing a blueprint for their readers to find their ‘authentic selves.’ Style Statement, a New York Times bestseller by Carrie McCarthy and Danielle LaPorte, is a revolutionary book which seeks to truly transform its reader. The authors explain it best in stating, “This [book] is an invitation to make more powerful choices…to create your life with intention…to communicate who you are in all that you do.” After meeting these women and defining our own ‘style statement,’ it dawned on us that this book is the perfect tool for any bride-to-be!
Style Statement is so much more than a book about fashion. Even if you think this book isn’t for you because you have your own sense of style or are a self-proclaimed fashionista, just give it a browse-through at your local bookstore; you’ll be amazed by what it has to offer! Style Statement takes the reader on an intimate journey, asking personal questions in order to define who you are as an individual. Once you have determined your ‘style statement’ the book offers numerous tasks to fulfill and advice to begin living your life encompassed by your ‘style statement’, being true to your authentic self.
So how does this have anything to do with planning your wedding? In a word: EVERYTHING. At Flawless Events, our first and foremost concern is establishing our clients’ personal style and how they would like that unique style to be reflected on their wedding day. Our approach to wedding décor, design, and planning is to ‘communicate who you are in all that you do.” It always helps with the process when our clients know their ‘authentic self’ and have a strong sense of style.
One great way to benefit from Style Statement is to review it prior to going dress shopping. While your wedding is a time to get swept up in the fairytale nature and romance of the celebration, it’s also important to stay true to who you are and your personality. It’s important to keep your authentic self in mind when facing rows and rows of white satin and tulle.
As you can probably tell, we can’t recommend this book enough! It’s an amazing, inspiring, and eye-opening tool that everyone should make the time to read. Planning a wedding can be a stressful and time-consuming task; you owe it to yourself to take a few moments and look through Style Statement. Making time for you during your planning process can help alleviate the stress and clear your head, making you capable of planning a truly flawless wedding that perfectly reflects who you are!
