WE ARE STORYTELLERS. We specialize in using digital and film mediums to create handcrafted wedding films that tell the story of the most important day of your life. Every couple has a unique and beautiful story, full of its own romance, with its own ups and downs, and its own twists and turns.WE ARE ARTISTS. A camera is simply a tool for filling in a canvas but having the vision to artistically paint that canvas requires an artistic gift coupled with years of practice. We intimately pair each image from that canvas with the sounds of laughter and tears, heartfelt words, and emotional music from your wedding day and then the canvas truly comes to life.WE ARE PASSIONATE. We are passionate about life, the people we share it with, and the stories we tell. Every couple we meet is unique. We love hearing their stories and capturing the moments that make their wedding day as unique as they are. It might be something as subtle as a heart-felt smile glanced across the room or something as significant as the couple’s first kiss as husband and wife. We are passionate about capturing and sharing the stories that our couples share with us.We work with couples who are not just looking for a wedding video to document their day but who want to be completely smitten and in love with their unique, artistically crafted wedding film. Couples who want something they couldn’t even imagine their lives without. Something that fills them with emotion every time they see it for the rest of their lives. We are inspired by your stories and we want you to be inspired by them all over again.

Styled To Wed Series Trailer

*Available Exclusively on The Love Stories TV Streaming TV Channel and YouTube*

January 3rd, 2024 NEW YORK - - Love Stories TV, in collaboration with renowned wedding dress designer Morilee Madeline Gardner, today announced the premiere of their original series, "Styled To Wed," hosted by Sydney Sadick. The show is set to debut on January 3, 2024, and will be available for free streaming on [The Love Stories TV Channel](www.lovestoriestv.com/live) and on [YouTube](www.youtube.com/lovestoriestv).

As 'Styled To Wed' debuts during the first quarter of 2024, it aligns perfectly with the peak season for wedding dress shopping. The first quarter is traditionally the busiest time for bridal gown shopping, coinciding with a surge in engagements between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. This timing ensures that 'Styled To Wed' meets the immediate needs of newly engaged couples. Furthermore, market forecasts indicate a robust growth in the wedding industry for 2024 and 2025, [with an expected increase in engagements](https://www.signetjewelers.com/investors/financial-news-releases/financial-news-release/2023/SIGNET-JEWELERS-REPORTS-SECOND-QUARTER-FISCAL-2024-RESULTS/default.aspx#:~:text=The%20Company%20continues%20to%20expect,50%25%20of%20Signet's%20merchandise%20sales.). 

Style + Entertainment Expert, Founder, and EIC of Spotlight Magazine, Sydney Sadick takes the lead in this new series.

The series showcases a range of Morilee ambassador bridal boutiques, offering an exclusive look into the world of bridal fashion, complete with expert tips and advice for wedding dress shopping. Each episode is a treasure trove of insights:

Episode 1: Bridal consultant Q Stoddard from Fantasy Bridal in Salt Lake City, Utah, delves into timelines, discussing when to shop for your wedding dress and comparing standard order times with rush cuts.

Episode 2: The team from Always + Forever in Fort Smith, Arkansas, including ambassadors Shelly Wagner, Stacey Riggs, and Brynn Trahan, show viewers how to prepare for their wedding dress shopping appointment to maximize their experience (and fun!).

Episode 3: Jillian Forsberg from Dress Gallery in Wichita, Kansas, explores the emotional journey of wedding dress shopping, focusing on that special moment when you find 'The One'.

Episode 4: Stylist Madeleine Sierakowski from Rebecca’s Bridal in Louisville, Kentucky joins Madeline Gardner for a  'Bridal Terms 101', covering everything from fabrics and lengths to styles, equipping viewers with the essential vocabulary of wedding fashion.

Episode 5: Natalie Lester and Jessica Poss from Wedding Belles in Chandler, Arizona, discuss the unique aspects of in-person wedding dress shopping, and what makes it so special in contrast with today’s prevalent online shopping methods.

Episode 6: To conclude the series, Sybil and Nikki Owings from Birdie Bridal in Azle, Texas, guide viewers through the current Morilee collection, showcasing a variety of styles and sizes suitable for every bride and body type, from 0 to 32.

Produced by Love Stories TV, "Styled To Wed" brings a fresh perspective to the bridal show genre. "Our goal is to make wedding dress shopping a seamless and FUN experience for every bride," said Rachel Silver, founder and CEO of Love Stories TV. "Partnering with Morilee Madeline Gardner and having Sydney Sadick as our host adds a level of expertise and entertainment that viewers will absolutely love."
