Katie Hubbard of My Wedding Wardrobe | Bridal Styling, Wedding Day Disasters & Why You Need a Stylist There | Texas Wedding Podcast

Katie Hubbard is a Dallas, Texas bridal stylist and the founder of My Wedding Wardrobe, a bridal styling service helping brides across Texas and beyond look and feel their best from engagement season all the way through the wedding day. My Wedding Wardrobe offers custom digital lookbooks covering everything outside the wedding gown, from engagement photos and bachelorette looks to bridesmaids, mothers, and the wedding day itself, and they work with brides all over the country entirely online.

In this episode of the Texas Wedding Podcast, Katie walks through how she launched My Wedding Wardrobe in 2020, why the pandemic was actually the perfect time to start an online bridal styling business, and how she nearly had to shut everything down when a difficult pregnancy forced her to step away at the peak of her success. She also talks about Grace, her very first intern who came back six years later and now runs the day-to-day, and what it looks like to rebuild a business while raising a baby.

Then we get into the good stuff: the lipstick that snapped and left red streaks down a bride's gown before a single photo had been taken, a see-through reception dress saved by a grandmother's vintage Christian Dior slip, bustles that silently break during first dances while no one has any idea, and why a bridal stylist on your wedding day is one of the hardest but most important sells in the Texas wedding industry.

Katie also shares her take on the pressure social media puts on today's brides, why she thinks Texas has some of the most timeless and classic brides in the country, and the one wardrobe piece every bride forgets about for her wedding weekend.

If you're a bride planning a Texas wedding or a wedding vendor wondering what a bridal stylist actually does on a wedding day, this one will make you a believer.
