to style or not to style.. that is the question

I met a wonderfully talented and amazing photographer recently, .. no names, (lives is in a 100 km radius..) anyway we were talking  about styles of weddings we have shot and he told me about this one were they had a old suitcases and all this stuff, and he told me (rolling his eyes) he doesn't do 'that stuff''. No don't get me wrong I love and greatly respect this photographer, but see its here I need to differ.
Firstly its not my fault that I like a bit of Styling. I blame my Mum. When a was a really little girl I thought that my Mum was a movie star, she was so beautiful, not only that she had these really cool pointy high heels that ONLY  a movie star would wear, plus a complete giveaway she had a collection of old Movie Go'ers books..like Womens Weekly 1950's style. I remember the photography  clearly.. the candid snaps of Lana Turner or someone like that in her pointy bathing costume (there was a lot of pointy stuff), running down the beach with her red setter.. oh for love!

So that brings me here to the question, to style or not to style?  Look at it this way. If you are getting married and you both have a PHD in Physics and you are wearing matching Star Wars suits (OK, he is Hans Solo, you are Princess Leah) , I hate to say this ,but you have just styled your wedding. The fact that my style is anything vintage or retro or out of the pages of Frankie  Magazine is not the issue here (give me a break I just want to be pretty!!)  The fact is that you have a style regardless of if you 'style it' or not. So the moral of the story is don't apologies for the suitcases or suspender belts instead.. bring it, love it.
