Francesca dispirito styling

I don't know how anyone finds their "bridal style" or shows up to the "I Do," without the infallible Francesca Dispirito! Francesca was by my side from the moment we spoke on the phone for my consultation to the moment I walked down the aisle. We spent quality time shopping for dresses, shoes, hair pieces and jewelry until we each looked at each other and concluded, "this is the one." Not to mention the discussions we had about colors and inspirations for my wedding look. I found the whole experience fun and supportive and would recommend to any bride to hire Francesca because she knows what she is talking about and cares about her brides. I feel lucky to call myself one of them.

Francesca’s passion for bridal styling *literally* saved my life. I know how that sounds but keep reading. When Francesca heard I had found a wedding dress she immediately offered a thousand ideas about styling and agreed to see me in the dress to offer more specific advice. While I was trying on the dress she pointed out the asymmetry in my breasts which led me to discover that I had breast cancer. So… did I cancel the wedding? No way! I officially enlisted Francesca’s help both to style my dress and to be there with me on the day of my wedding. She immediately connected me with an amazingly talented seamstress, found the perfect pieces to style the dress, and helped me stay excited about my wedding day despite having to undergo aggressive cancer treatment. Halfway through chemotherapy was my wedding day, and having Francesca by my side was the absolute best decision and biggest blessing of the day (besides marrying the love of my life of course). She showed up on my Wedding day ready to make any "day of" minor alterations to my dress and bridesmaids’ dresses. She is also magical with breast lift tape – she made sure that my boobs looked classy in the deep “v” shape of my dress. She was the one to fluff my dress and veil in those moments right before I walked down the aisle. Throughout all the hours of photography, she arranged my dress and added and removed pieces so that I got a dynamic and polished set of photos. She even shoved a burger in my face when I was getting “hangry” mid photo-shoot! Francesca is not only passionate about bridal styling, but she is a perfectionist. She knows exactly what you need, when you need it, and how to make it happen. She’s so incredibly compassionate, loving, fun and ultimately wants to make sure that you have your special day without any of the fuss. My wedding day was the best day of my life, and I couldn’t imagine it without Francesca by my side. If you’re on the fence about any of her services – I promise you, she’s worth it and you won’t regret it!

Francesca was my Fairy GOWNmother!!! I thought it would be easy to visit a few bridal salons, try on dresses that were my style, and find "the one" once it was on my body. After visiting twelve of them in 5 weeks and not knowing what to do, I reached out to Francesca and we met at a local coffee shop and chatted. I had a 'two dresses' idea for a long time until I came across the strapless, sequins DAVINA gown by Eva Lendel, and talked with Francesca about how I could wear that all night, but get different pieces made to create a couple of different "looks" - one for the ceremony and one for the reception. Francesca was my sounding board throughout the entire process - making sure I wasn't crazy wanting a sexy, sequins "Jessica Rabbit" gown, then linking me with the best seamstress Blanca and discussing ideas, then attending all three fittings of the pieces being made, inputing her expertise and putting my mind at ease. She always always always had my best interest at heart when imparting her wisdom, but always always always listened to my feedback and gave me the final say. She went above and beyond to ensure the vision I had for my wedding looks came to life, but I couldn't have been MORE impressed or appreciative of the DAY OF wedding service she provided. The day of my wedding, Francesca arrived at my mother's house and got right to work. She steamed and staged all our gowns, and got the reception overskirt prepped to travel to my venue. My mom, my sisters, and I were freed from the responsibility landing on us so we could just enjoy each other, the morning, and getting glammed up. This alone was an invaluable service, but once we were dressed and ready, Francesca followed me to the church, made sure I looked beautiful getting out of the car, beautiful walking into the church, and right before walking down the aisle. She was even there to open the doors for my dad and I since the church and limo driver dropped the ball on that. Haa haa! She ensured all the groomsmen had their boutonnieres on correctly, and that everyone/thing was on point. After the ceremony, she followed my husband and I - taking behind the scenes photographs - some of my favorites from the day actually - just because she was that attentive and accessible to us the entire time. I was blown away by the level of service she provided. Multiple times throughout the day I had the thought, "What would I have done if Francesca wasn't here?" I'm here to tell you that she is worth every penny and you won't regret her involvement and service in your bridal journey. Thank you to the moon Francesca! You were a dream and I'll always look back on my wedding knowing I was fully and wholly ME throughout it all because of the work you put in on my behalf.

I was fortunate enough to meet Francesca at Carolina Herrera when looking for wedding dresses. She helped me pick my dream dress! I continued working with her as my bridal stylist. She made the whole dress fitting process seamless. She made sure my alterations were perfect! She knew exactly what to look for in the alterations and what to ask the seamstress about. She followed up after each dress visit to make sure all the necessary changes were accounted for. I had the perfect French bustle thanks to her! She has great style ideas and suggested the perfect accessories to accent the dress. She also has great tips and tricks for you on your wedding day. Francesca will make you look your best on your big day, I highly recommend having Francesca as your stylist for a look to remember!

Francesca was absolutely wonderful. She came to my final dress fitting, helped me with all of my underpinnings, helped me get into my dress, and made sure I looked impeccable throughout the day. Whenever fluffing, steaming, or cutting was needed, she was there! Not only did she help with my dress and all the wedding clothes, but she also assisted my bridesmaids. In fact, one of my bridesmaids split her dress 20 minutes before the wedding started, and Francesca sewed it right up! The cherry on top is that she is so lovely and calming, which in turn helped me feel calm on my own wedding day! Francesca is an outstanding professional and I could not recommend her services more.

Francesca is an absolute bridal styling professional. She styled my sister and her close friend in 2017 and when it was my turn recently, I knew working with Francesca was an absolute must! Not just in selecting the dress, which of course she's very helpful for, but particularly during the dress fittings. She knew exactly what to tell the seamstress so that it fit like glove. It looked and felt so smooth in every photo, all night long! If you want absolute peace of mind about your wedding dress, from selection, to fitting to shipping, you just need to work with Francesca! Not only is she very talented, but she is very dedicated.

The thought of bridal dress shopping was terrifying to me, but I can truly say that it was an amazing and fun experience thanks to Francesca. Not only is she an absolute pleasure to be around, but her knowledge and intuition puts you at ease. Whether you are a bride who knows exactly what you are looking for, or are overwhelmed by just the thought, she has an uncanny ability to help you look your best on your wedding day. It wasn’t just about the dress – she styled me head-to-toe while giving the most helpful guidance along the way. Her expertise extends far beyond bridal dresses. She helped my mom find a dress and had made the most amazing alterations so that it was exactly what she wanted (even though she had no idea what she wanted!). She also made alteration recommendations during the fittings of my dress, which made it even more perfect. Throughout the entire process (shopping, fittings, shipping), I never had one ounce of anxiety knowing that she was overseeing everything. I felt my most beautiful on my wedding day, and that wasn’t just because of my beautiful dress/veil, but because I felt like the best version of myself. I can’t recommend her enough – her knowledge of the industry and attention to detail is unapparelled. So whether you are an eager bride with a specific vision, or one who doesn’t know where to start, Francesca’s services are a must.

Francesca helped me shop for my wedding dress when I was totally lost with what I wanted. I was a fuller sized bride and had difficulty visualizing how the right dress would look on me and my body type for my very special day. I also knew I wanted to cover my shoulders and wanted to wear something that made me not only feel special but also unique. I didn’t even have to say much to Francesca because she hit the nail on the head from our visit together. She made me feel very comfortable in my own skin and I felt I could share my feelings freely with her. I immediately trusted her judgement and she was very in tune to my personality and what my likes and dislikes were in a dress. She helped me to look outside the box and collaborated with me. One very important aspect of this experience was that she knew how to ease the stress that would naturally arise between me and the important women in my life who were helping me, my mother and grandmother. Francesca guided us through by educating, providing reassurance, exploring all our options and even humoring some of my wacky ideas just to help me visualize what was in my head. She was always very patient and never pushy. I could reach out to Francesca at any time of the day or night and she always responded right away. Francesca goes above and beyond to make sure you become the bride you had always hoped to become. Her expertise in all things bridal is evident as she knows truly everything about everything when it came to dresses, bridal boutiques, fittings and some. If you are a bride to be and starting to look for your dress or are torn about what dress to get, give Francesca a call! She’s worth every penny!
