More About Julie Sabatino and The Stylish Bride:
There isn’t a top designer she doesn’t have an ironclad relationship with — Oscar de la Renta named a dress after her — but she hasn’t forgotten what it felt like to be bride-to-be with no idea of how to navigate the wedding shopping process. “I can remember feeling overwhelmed by the options and also humiliated and discouraged that none of the samples fit; I had a real crisis of confidence and looked for guidance, but there was no such thing as a bridal stylist in 2001.”

Knowing there had to be a better way, Julie left her job in finance, enrolled in FIT, and launched The Stylish BrideⓇ, a full-service bridal styling company dedicated to helping couples navigate the world of wedding wear. Passionate about diversity and inclusion, she developed The Sample Size Solution – a portable product designed to help make sample dresses fit the bride – which has been applauded for its practicality and helping to address body size stigmatization. After years of being urged to share her wedding styling knowledge with the world, Julie wrote her book, Dressed, Styled and Down the Aisle which has been hailed as a “must-read manifesto” by insiders.
