At Sparkle Event Styling, we offer three different styling packages: Self-Style, Styled Hire and our Sparkles Packages.

Our Self-Style service is perfect for couples who love the idea of creating their own wedding look but would still like access to our carefully curated collection of props, styling pieces, and expert guidance. It offers flexibility, creativity, and a beautifully practical alternative to buying everything yourselves. To help you get the very best from this service, here are our top tips on how to plan, prepare, and style with confidence.

One of the biggest advantages of Self-Style is that it is often far more cost effective than purchasing large quantities of décor. Rather than buying items you will only use once, storing them, cleaning them, and then trying to sell them after the wedding, you can hire from our extensive range and return everything once your day is over. It allows you to achieve a styled, cohesive look without the long term hassle or hidden costs.

Another benefit is how simple and stress free the process is. All items are provided clean, pressed, and carefully packed in bags or boxes, ready for you to collect. After the wedding, everything is simply placed back into the original packaging and returned to us. There is no cleaning, no ironing, and no worrying about damage beyond normal use. It is an easy, efficient service that gives you professional quality styling without the post wedding workload.

Your showroom appointment, included with every Self-Style booking, is where everything really starts to come together. This is your opportunity to see pieces in person, explore combinations, and build your overall look. Bring along colour swatches, stationery samples, or even photos of your bridesmaids dresses so we can help you visualise the full design. It is also the perfect time to talk through how your ceremony and reception spaces will flow.

When you speak to us, tell us as much as you can, even the details you think might not be important. We need to know your colour scheme, the shade of your bridesmaids dresses, how many children will be attending, and whether your venue allows naked flames. We will also ask about your guest numbers, aisle length, how much stationery will be on your tables, what flowers you are having, and how many people will be available to help move items from ceremony to reception. These practical details help us guide you towards the right pieces and avoid suggestions that might not suit your space or timings.

It is also important to be realistic about your schedule. Self-Style works best for marquee weddings or venues where you have access the day before, giving you time to set everything out without rushing. We always recommend appointing one or two trusted people to help, with a clear plan and visual reference of how things should look. Too many helpers without direction can quickly become overwhelming, so clarity is key.

Self-Style is also a wonderful option if you would like to take care of certain elements yourselves, such as on the day stationery or signage, while still using professional hire items for table styling, ceremony décor, and key feature pieces. It gives you creative control while ensuring the overall look remains cohesive and well finished.

Before your appointment, take a look through our brochure and pricing guide to make sure our collection and style feel right for you. We are always adding new pieces, so it is a great way to start building your wish list.

Our Self-Style service is about giving you freedom, flexibility, and access to beautiful styling, without the stress of sourcing, storing, and cleaning everything yourself. With good preparation and clear planning, it allows you to create a wedding that feels personal, polished, and completely your own.
