Headline: “Leggings aren’t pants.” — Andrea Eppolito 🎤
One of my absolute highlights of 2025 was finally meeting the icon herself, Andrea Eppolito, at the Wedding MBA. I’ve followed her for years, and when I saw her say this on YouTube years ago, I felt seen!
I’m a firm believer that when you hire me, I represent you. Whether I’m at the grocery store or on-site for a loading day, I refuse to look like I’ve been working in the yard for three hours. My mother taught me the importance of the “visor check”—a fresh coat of lipstick and a hair fluff before leaving the car. That stayed with me.
It’s about confidence. It’s about energy. And honestly? It’s about professionalism. It kills me when vendors show up for load-in day wearing jeans and a tee (or leggings), saying “I’ll change later.” You’re representing your brand now.
I even once made my daughter buy a blazer in a different state because her load-in outfit looked more like she was heading out to meet friends for coffee than a luxury wedding! 😅
So, here is your friendly reminder: Keep the leggings and jeans in the closet. Let’s stay professional, look our best, and represent this industry with the excellence it deserves. 🥂✨
