Elisabetta Polignano’s secrets and tips for inner joy

We had a lovely chat with Elisabetta Polignano, who shared some of her precious advices on inner joy, as well as some of her secrets on her personal creative process. Discover them all!

The first tip she gives to her brides for this new year is to always look forward and free their energy: “The ability to look inside yourself is essential and this holds especially when you have to make important choices: let all of your wishes out on your special day and avoid getting too involved or influenced by the opinions of those who surround you”. Energy, strength and the truest willingness to express yourself is Elisabetta Polignano’s heartfelt advice to each of her brides-to-be, because those elements are what you need to reach your most authentic happiness. She also suggests you to rely on expert advices by certified wedding professionals: “This is crucial”, she adds, “you cannot do it all on your own. However, give priority to what you truly desire and try to attune fully with your inner self”.

Begin with listening to your emotions: “It all begins with your feelings; this is the only ingredient you need to create a deeply felt ceremony, something that feels yours in all of its aspects and that follows your very nature”. After all, this is exactly what Elisabetta did when she was a teenager and she started to take her first steps in the bridal fashion industry: “I’ve always tried to follow my feelings and let them guide me to find new paths and new ways to express my personality. My first works were modeled on myself”, she says. “It was not about me wanting to feel different from everyone else. I think this is just a way to respect yourself and your true feelings: this is the only way you can say something new, or make something new out there. Of course it is a risk”, she highlights, “and it takes courage, but it is the only path I know to making wishes come to life, and this is what I feel the urge to advice to all of my brides”.

Making, doing and never losing the desire to learn with openness: this is what Elisabetta’s creative process is all about. She shared it with us to motivate her brides for the new year: “When I design my collections”, she says, “I never do it in my office. I normally do it at home, and possibly in my yard, surrounded by nature. I need to curl up and be alone, listening to myself. It is so important to find a moment that’s all yours, when all you do is listening to yourself with your phone switched off and no interruptions by anyone else. That’s when your soul comes out”.

Music can’t be omitted from her creative process, too: “It’s unbelievable, I am so in need of a contrast of elements. I need balance, silence and nature perfection as much as I need to create in an environment that can stimulate the right energy inside me. Rock music is my favorite, especially David Bowie and Patti Smith”.
