Florida-based Anne Banks Easter’s style can be described as equal parts sophisticated and feminine flair. From her closet to a bride’s trousseau, she curates personalized lookbooks through her styling platform, Edit by Easter, with a creative eye for all things with taste. “After my wedding and honeymoon in Italy this past Summer, I had several people reach out for styling or outfit inquiries, which drove me to offer bridal, event, and vacation styling,” she says. “I am currently working with several brides getting married all over the world—Peru, Barcelona, Italy, California, as well as mothers of brides and grooms, bridesmaids, clients with upcoming vacations, and everything in between!”

Easter’s vision for her ‘yes, forever’ began when she followed along with Lauren Ratner’s wedding in Napa Valley. “The SS22 green Miu Miu dress inspired my wedding looks and honestly, the entire wedding color and theme. I wanted outfits that were different and unique, but also encompassed my personality. I have always been obsessed with curating an outfit, which was so fun and rewarding to me during the entire wedding planning process!” She shares.

“One of my favorite dresses to style was my Bridal Luncheon dress, which I found at Happy Isles in California,” Easter continues. “It is a vintage Oscar de La Renta dress–that is now my favorite dress in my entire closet–and completely encompasses my personality! I styled the dress with green Gucci studded kitten heels and a pair of vintage pink earrings that I also found at Happy Isles.”

For brides looking for design guidance, Easter offers a few words of wisdom in addition to her bespoke, personalized styling experiences. “First and foremost, I encourage you to stick to your personal style!” She emphasizes. “You want to wear something everyone will say, ‘that is so you.’ Next, be sure to have fun with the process; you are only a bride once! So don’t be afraid to wear color, embellishments, or shop pre-owned pieces!”

“Also, remember to ask yourself, ‘is this piece just ‘trendy’ for now, or will I love this in photos looking back? And lastly, I recommend straying away from asking your entire friend circle for their opinions. Find one or two people you trust the most!”
