“THE STAFF AT VOCELLES

Meet Kristen Vocelle Barstow
BOSS
OWNER OF VOCELLES | THE BRIDAL SHOPPE
by Julia Holly Kristen created Vocelles | The Bridal Shoppe nearly a decade ago, after her own wedding dress shopping experience left much to be desired. She knew there was a better way to shop for a wedding dress, so she made it happen with the opening of Vocelles Bridal in 2009. Determined to create a beautiful space for the brides of North Florida and South Georgia where they can truly have it all, Kristen has always provided a shopping experience that was not only fun and beautiful, but one where the dresses are affordable and the customer service is second to none. I sat down with Kristen and asked her a few questions.
Q&A
Q: What is important
for your brides to know Q: What are you
about you?
most excited about at
A:
Vocelles Bridal right now? A:
I AM SO EXCITED (can you hear my enthusiasm through the caps?) about our selection of plus size wedding dresses. Over the past two years, we’ve been consistently adding plus size inventory, but we added so many in 2017 that we now have an official Plus Size Collection. And these dresses are so pretty! I’ve worked hand in hand with our designers to curate a collection of gowns for brides sizes 18 - 30 that are figure flattering and always on trend. We’re not trying to hide curves at Vocelles Bridal. We’re embracing them and showing them off beautifully!
I was in your shoes not all that long ago, so I get it. I was working a full time job, planning a wedding, and trying to make it all work financially. My fiancé (now husband) and I were covering most of the costs of the wedding ourselves, and it was so stressful! My shopping experience was not fun at all. But all of that is what inspired me to create Vocelles, so your shopping experience can and will be fun and relaxing.
23
Q: What do you do
when you’re not at work? A:
I’m a mom to two little girls, ages 3 and 5. When I’m not at work, I’m soaking in every minute of mom life - running to ballet practice, doing homework, playing dress up and coloring pictures of their favorite princesses. THE BRIDAL BOOK

PLANNING CHECKLIST We’ve made it simple to make sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. Simply follow the timing guidelines outlined here in our planning checklist to keep your to-do list manageable. Happy Planning!
Sixteen to Nine Months Before START A WEDDING FOLDER OR BINDER
Begin looking at magazines, bridal blogs and websites to get inspiration. Add photos of things you love to your bridal folder. DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET
Talk to your family and fiancé and get everyone on the same page. Determine how much you have to spend based on everyone’s contributions. SELECT YOUR BRIDAL PARTY
As soon as you are engaged, friends and family will begin to wonder who is in. Do something special to ask your bridal party to be part of your day. BEGIN THE GUEST LIST
58
Create a head count spreadsheet to use during the planning process. Include columns for contact info, RSVPs, plus ones and anything else you would like to keep track of. HIRE A PLANNER, IF DESIRED
A good planner will have relationships with— and insights about—vendors. A planner can also help save you money in the long run and reduce stress. SELECT YOUR DATE AND VENUES
Keep in mind that the most popular venues and wedding dates get booked far in advance. As soon as you are engaged, you need to nail down these details.
PURCHASE A DRESS
Bridal gowns can take up to months to arrive once you place order, so make sure you start and plan to schedule time for at three fittings.
eight your early least
Eight Months Before HIRE THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER BOOK ENTERTAINMENT
If there is a certain band or DJ you are interested in, attend a gig or two to see how they perform in front of an audience. MEET CATERERS
If your wedding venue doesn’t offer a food & beverage service, start meeting with potentials this month and hire your favorite now or early next month. RESERVE A BLOCK OF HOTEL ROOMS FOR OUT-OF-TOWN GUESTS
Select three or four different hotels at varying price points and near your reception venue. REGISTER FOR GIFTS
Choose a minimum of three retailers to register at. Consider choosing a locally owned retailer along with a retailer that has good online shopping options available.
Six to Seven Months Before PURCHASE INVITATIONS
BOOK YOUR OFFICIANT
Research photographers, bands, florists and caterers. Like venues, these vendors can book up quickly and far in advance. If you have any favorites you know you want to work with, let them know ASAP and get your signed contract and deposits in. For others, start preliminary research and put their contact information in your wedding binder.
THE BRIDAL BOOK
START PLANNING A HONEYMOON SELECT BRIDESMAID DRESSES
Allow at least six months for the dresses to be ordered and sized. Once you have dresses picked out, give your bridesmaids a deadline to have them ordered by so the order is placed on time.
MEET WITH THE OFFICIANT
Map out the ceremony and confirm that you have all the official documents for the wedding based on your county and religion. MAIL OUT SAVE-THE-DATE CARDS RESERVE STRUCTURAL & ELECTRICAL NECESSITIES
Portable toilets, extra chairs, lighting, etc.… SELECT A FLORIST
Since florists can serve multiple clients on one day, you can wait until now to formally hire one. However, it is never too early to book a florist. ARRANGE TRANSPORTATION
Think about limos, trolleys, town cars and minibuses for transportation of the bride and groom and the bridal party.
Three Months Before FINALIZE THE MENU AND FLOWERS
Wait until now to see what will be available and in season. ORDER FAVORS MAKE A LIST OF PEOPLE GIVING TOASTS FINALIZE THE READINGS PURCHASE YOUR undergarments and schedule your second dress fitting FINALIZE THE ORDER of the ceremony and
the reception PRINT MENU CARDS, as well as the programs PURCHASE THE WEDDING BANDS
START COMPILING A DAY-OF TIMELINE
Draft a schedule of the wedding day and include a time for each component (cake cutting, first dance, etc.…)
Five to Four Months Before BOOK THE REHEARSAL AND REHEARSAL DINNER VENUES
SEND YOUR EVENT SCHEDULE TO THE VENDORS
Giving them a first draft now will give plenty of time for tweaks, feedback and perfecting.
59
Two Months Before with all vendors and make sure any questions have been answered TOUCH BASE
SELECT AND ORDER THE CAKE
Some bakers require a long lead time, so make sure to attend tastings and hire in advance. PURCHASE WEDDING SHOES AND START DRESS FITTINGS
MEET WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Talk through specific shots and walk through the locations to determine specific shot locations.
Bring your shoes with you to your fittings so the tailor can determine the appropriate length for your gown.
REVIEW THE PLAYLIST with the band or DJ
SCHEDULE HAIR AND MAKEUP ARTISTS
SEND OUT INVITATIONS
Make sure you do a trial run of hair and makeup and be completely open about what you like and don’t like about the finished product.
Mail invites six to eight weeks before the ceremony, setting the RSVP cutoff at three weeks after the postmark date.
Make sure to let them know of any songs that are off limits.
CHOOSE YOUR MUSIC
Select what music will be playing during each part of the day – when the wedding party is announced, during dinner, etc.… Keep a list of what you want and do not want played.

TIPS ON HOW TO BE A SAVVY SHOPPER By Kristen Barstow, owner of Vocelles | The Bridal Shoppe
Shopping for the perfect wedding gown is one of the most fun parts of being a bride. But if you’re like most brides, the whole process of finding “THE ONE” can be a bit overwhelming. We’ve put together some basic tips that will help take the stress out of shopping and will allow you to relax, have fun and get the most out of your shopping time.
Before you go… Determine your overall wedding budget Make sure you take the time to determine your overall wedding budget and how much of that budget you would like to put toward your dress. Knowing a ballpark of how much you would like to spend will help your bridal stylist pick the best styles for you and will help you make the most of your shopping time.
Location, Location, Location! Knowing where you are going to get married will be a tremendous help in finding the perfect dress. Are you getting married on the beach? In a church? In a barn? In a ballroom? Different venues lend themselves to different dress styles so make sure you have an idea of where you’ll be tying the knot.
Do Your Homework Before stepping foot in a bridal salon, look through magazines to get an idea of what types of dresses you like and don’t like. Tear out photos of styles you like and take them with you to your appointment.
Schedule Appointments in Advance Most bridal shops prefer that you make an appointment to try on gowns. Make sure you call in advance to set up a time to come shopping.
Do bring the two or three most important people with you. Even if you are planning on “ just looking ” you very well may
find the dress when you least expect it,
and you can never recreate that moment. You want to make sure you have those special people with you so they can share in the moment.
63
Shopping Day! So Many Opinions! Don’t overwhelm yourself by bringing 20 different people with you to your appointment. Too many opinions are overwhelming and can take away from your experience.
Be Open Minded Trust the experts. While you have spent countless hours on Pinterest finding styles that you like, that is only step 1. Trust your bridal consultant when she recommends that you try on a dress that is totally different than anything you’ve ever considered. More times than not brides surprise themselves and choose a dress that’s totally different than they would have imagined.

At Vocelles Bridal, we create a true experience for our brides. The Vocelles Experience is filled with touches of laid-back luxury. Crystal chandeliers and sparkling champagne, paired with the most beautiful dresses and true southern hospitality. Our professional stylists find their greatest joy in creating a memorable day for brides and those they are closest with. Our brides say it better than we can - here are some testimonials from past clients.
I am totally amazed with my experience at Vocelles! Being a curvy bride, I was afraid that I wouldn’t find a dress that would fit. Amanda was patient and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable in my own skin! - KRISTI, VOCELLES BRIDE
“I went to Vocelle’s to try on wedding gowns for the first time, thinking it would take me a while to narrow my decision down to just one dress. To my surprise, it was a lot easier than expected. Vocelles made wedding dress shopping a breeze for me and I ended up ordering my dream gown. It was a wonderful happy-tear-filled experience that I will cherish forever.”
65
– DIXIE, VOCELLES BRIDE
“I cannot say enough how excellent every person I spoke to or worked with at Vocelles was. They make you feel completely comfortable the entire time. I emailed them, called them and asked about 100 questions and tried on so many dresses and they were nothing but patient and extremely helpful.” - COURTNEY, VOCELLES BRIDE
“I found my dream dress at Vocelles with the help of the sweetest girls ever. Shoutout to Jackie because she was so fabulous! I felt right at home and so comfortable with them. I could let them know what I did like, what I didn’t, and what I LOVED and they were great about finding choices to fit ME. Jackie helped me find my perfect dress in addition to the most perfect accessories!” - IVY, VOCELLES BRIDE
