With a penchant for curating exquisite events from the Main Line to the Coastline, The Styled Bride designs wedding days for our clients that elicit conversation and inspire celebration. Based in historic Old City, Philadelphia, our desire to create wedding days that encompass every aspect of our couples’ storied relationships takes us to renowned museums, luxurious ballrooms, lush gardens, and beloved private properties.

Since its inception, The Styled Bride has been revered as a leader in creating curated celebrations that evoke the personality and unique style of every couple — and Wedding Director Susan Norcross has been the lead planner and stylist behind the scenes for each one. Together with an impeccable team of the area’s best wedding professionals, Susan creates a multi-faceted vision that combines patterns, textures, and flavors together to ignite the senses. Though her work has taken her everywhere from quintessential city spaces to cherished family locales, the relationships she has developed and continues to maintain with couples, professionals, and industry insiders is her greatest accomplishment.
Susan has worked extensively in the field of special events for over twenty years and has a proven expertise in the coordination and design of events across a wide spectrum. From fashion show production to Catering Manager, her longest tenure was at the Philadelphia-based PR firm Cashman & Associates, where she began as Manager of Special Events, became the Director of Special Events, and then assumed a Vice President position. While at Cashman & Associates, Susan coordinated a variety of celebrations, including galas; charity fundraisers; retail, restaurant and nightlife openings; product launches; fashion shows; gifting suites; press conferences; meetings; and concerts.
Susan left Cashman & Associates in 2011, and after a brief hiatus, she found herself immersed in the event industry once more. This time, she was planning a family member’s wedding, which led her to found her own company, Two Rings ~ One Circus. It was a natural progression for Susan to merge with The Styled Bride, and she has never looked back.
Susan lives just outside of Philadelphia with her husband and their dog JJ. She loves spending time with her niece and nephew, and she’s an avid fan of anything that has to do with animals, wine, and guilty pleasure TV.
