Every bride is not just a princess, she is also a movie star to me.
Yes, brides are all the same and I tell you why: whilst preparing the bride for her big day, I take the time to observe her face and body language. Regardless to the physical appearance or usual level of confidence, every girl I take care of, goes through moments of vulnerability, seriousness and self-discovery as she gradually becomes: the bride. It matters very little how many times the make up has been tried on, the hair-do rehearsed and the dress taken out of the wardrobe, the first time a bride looks at herself in the mirror in complete attire on the day of her wedding, the reaction is the equivalent of an atomic bomb of emotions exploding on the inside. The main over-tones are joy and complete and utter surprise: ‘I have never seen myself this way!’
That is the magic moment when finally the penny drops, after months, perhaps years, of preparations: she is about to say ‘I do’ (or ‘si” in Italian). She soon will be at the centre of attention of the man she is about to marry, their friends and family as well as cameras. It does not take much to understand that her adrenaline is at a all time high and she is feeling the full force of the momentum.
I want any bride in my care to be picture-perfect, each one in her own way. I pull all the stops going through the details necessary to achieve that result with the bride and key suppliers alike. I want to be sure that the right thing is done by her, in order to feel confident and happy in herself and, at the same time, bring out those qualities that are not for every day display. Every girl has them.
Always there, all the way, my presence is to ensure the smooth running of all operations of the event, above all, the main character of the fairytale. So, there is never any excuse for the star of the show not to smile: she will walk down the isle with confidence and aplomb and pull off the rest of the day in style, just like we have prepared her to do… Just like Grace Kelly.
