S1 E15 - Florist vs Stylist: What’s the Difference (and Do You Need Both?)

Let’s settle this once and for all. What’s the actual difference between a florist and a stylist and do you really need both for your Bali wedding?

This week we’re unpacking what each role involves, how it affects your budget, and why getting it right can make or break the vibe of your day. From full floral installs to furniture hire and candles galore, we’re lifting the veil on what styling really costs, what your planner can handle, and the pros and cons of working with fake blooms.

In this episode:

• Florist vs stylist — what they actually do and don’t do

• What’s included in a stylist’s fee and why it’s not just florals

• When your wedding planner is also your stylist and what that means for you

• Why styling often needs a bigger budget than you think

• From basic setups to luxury full production — understanding the spectrum

• Breaking down the cost of furniture, florals, candles and hire items

• Real vs fake flowers — our honest take

• Styling is more than aesthetics — it’s logistics, experience and design

• Why trusting your planner or stylist is key to a seamless look and experience

Whether you’re keeping it simple or going luxe, this one is a must listen if you want your wedding to look as good as it feels.
