Former Dresser and Wardrobe Supervisor for Several Broadway & TV Stars.
Vast knowledge of period movement needed for gowns.
Sheli specializes in wedding day services and ceremonies
with special talents in dressing and wardrobe details.
Dresser & personal assistant to the Bride, her family and attendants.
Arrive 2-3 hours prior to attend the needs of preparing to dress, such as steaming the gowns - I can spend the day when requested.
- Many Brides have never walked or sat in the gown they have chosen for their wedding day. Sheli can give quick lessons on how to sit and walk including stairs.
- I can bring in lunch for your group to assure that everyone eats before the festivities begin.
- I am like the project manager for the day - keeping everyone on schedule.
- I have experience in quick repairs for those situations that may happen.
- During the ceremony I give the bridesmaids cues for heading down the aisle, and fluff the brides train for her entrance. I can attend the ceremony rehearsal.
- I stay with the Bride and Groom during photos to assist in blotting or lipstick application as necessary - also making sure they get cocktail hour refreshments. Often I hold Mom's purse.
- I often leave after bustling the bride prior to being announced into dinner. However if you plan to change I can stay the evening to assist in those changes and package the gown for traveling home.
Expertise in creating wedding day itineraries
- The timeline for your day is the best way to calm all the nervous parties. It's important to write it out including hair/make-up appointments, travel times, meals, limo arrivals.
Ceremony and procession expertise
- What a joy it is for me to help couples plan the cermony for their wedding. It is the reason you are hosting this fabulous party. I work with couples in thinking through processions, special guest seating, readings and music.
- I attend the rehearsal either leading it or working closely with the minister, priest, rabbi or Justice of the Peace to make everyone feel comfortable with what the bride and groom are envisioning for their wedding day.
- I can provide staff to greet the ushers and groomsmen - train them in the proper technique for ushering the guests, over see program distribution and pin on boutonnieres. The wonderful people who work on my staff are incredibly descreet and professional. They review the planner with musicians, greet officiants - all the things Mom and Dad wish they could do but are getting their photo taken or doing last minute preparations.
Photo list guidance and implementation
- Do you want a photo with Aunt Bessie? Did you put your alumni shot on the list for the newsletter? Who will gather these people in an orderly fashion??
Welcome gift bag creation and delivery
- Welcome gift bags are a terrific way to greet your guests. Designed with the client Sheli can prepare, assemble and deliver these special treats.
- Prices include working with the family to create an accomodations list for delivery. Or the gift bags can be available at the rehearsal dinner for distribution.
Mother of the Bride’s helping hand
- It is a big job to be the Mother of the Bride. Often it is a job that is a great joy and great frustration. Hiring Sheli to be your wedding day helper can take a lot of the difficulties out of the job. Sheli is the calm in any storm and glad to be the helping hand to bring a great experience to all.
