Feeling Your Best at Any Occasion

Partytrick x TSB Styling

Q&A with Julie Sabatino, Founder of TSB Styling (formerly The Stylish Bride)

A stylist who can dress you for any occasion in a way that feels both stunning and entirely you? She exists — and her name is Julie Sabatino.

Julie is the founder of TSB Styling, a personalized styling studio available both in person and virtually, known for helping women feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully themselves for weddings and beyond.

At Partytrick, we love any approach that encourages self-expression — especially when it starts from within. Julie and her team share that same philosophy: when you feel good on the inside, it shows on the outside. Their work is rooted in helping women understand their personal style and translate it into looks that feel authentic, effortless, and empowering.

Partytrick sat down with Julie Sabatino talk about her styling philosophy, how to find inspiration in your own closet, and her favorite ways to host at home.

What is TSB Styling?

We’re a company focused on helping women feel amazing, confident, and comfortable — not just on their wedding day, but for all of life’s meaningful moments. Our philosophy is simple: when you feel good internally, it radiates outward. Everything we do comes back to one core question:

"How can we help real women learn about themselves and use that information to build wardrobes they truly love?"

My team and I have spent years supporting incredible women through this process. Over time, we’ve evolved our services to offer trusted styling support both in person and virtually, making it easier than ever to get personalized guidance wherever you are.

What are some of your most common requests from clients?

Of course, we help with wedding-day looks, but more and more clients are asking for styling across the entire celebration experience — rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, post-wedding brunches, and everything in between. People want to feel great throughout every moment, not just during the ceremony.

We also work closely with mothers of the bride and other family members, helping everyone feel confident and cohesive.

What styling trends are you seeing lately?

Clients are embracing color more, which is always fun to work with. We’re also seeing lots of interest in second looks — outfits that are easier to move in so you can dance, mingle, and actually enjoy the party. Comfort plays a huge role in confidence.

Any tips for feeling your best, no matter the occasion?

A lot of people look to social media for inspiration, but I like to start somewhere much closer to home: your own closet.

When you take time to notice the pieces you naturally gravitate toward, patterns start to emerge. Those favorite items tell a story about what works for your body and your lifestyle.

"You identify your favorite pieces in your closet, the ones that click with you. Once you put those on, you feel great. Then you can use that as inspiration for other things."

People don’t realize that when you go into your closet and you start looking, you're going to notice things. For me, it’s A-line skirts, V-neck tops, and a great belt. When you understand what consistently works for you, shopping becomes much more intentional and successful than chasing whatever’s trending online.

When you’re not styling brides, do you like to host?

I love hosting. I’d almost always rather gather at home than go out to a restaurant. It’s more relaxed, more personal, and people can move around instead of being stuck at one table. There’s something special about welcoming people into your space — you can make it beautiful, comfortable, and completely your own.

What's your go`-`to party trick?

Charcuterie boards and cheeses are always our move. We focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients rather than buying extra décor or unnecessary extras. I’ll happily stop at a few different shops just to get exactly what I want from each one — great food becomes the centerpiece.

What is your go-to mocktail or cocktail?

A classic vodka martini is still my favorite. Lately, I’ve also been experimenting with tequila-based drinks so I have a few go-to recipes ready for friends who love them.
