My Fair Wedding

I’m sure many of those who are planning a wedding have encountered David Tutera, the infamous celebrity wedding planner . Though I’m sure most of us have never actually been to a Tutera wedding, many have felt transported to his events via My Fair Wedding, a WE tv original series in which Tutera lends his expertise to non-celebrity brides. Tutera shows up just three weeks before the selected bride’s wedding and essentially turns everything around. Many brides think they know what they want on their big day, but sometimes we all can get carried away. Colors clash. Themes collide. Brides meltdown. Although Tutera deals with a lot of brides that have very outlandish ideas, we can all learn some valuable tips from his sense of organization and his outstanding coordination skills.

 

　
　
My mother actually got me to watch this show. I’ve never really been enthused by reality television -- especially not wedding-related reality TV. However, after being hassled into watching a few episodes, I became addicted. It’s absolutely amazing how Tutera is able to work with and revise the bride’s original vision (or lack thereof) and create a truly remarkable, celebrity-worthy event. I’ve seen him execute outrageous wedding themes, such as Alice in Wonderland, the Wizard of Oz, and pirate-inspired. Somehow, they’ve all turned out classy and original.

So, naturally, as soon as I learned there was an open casting call for this show, I jumped on the nearest computer for more information. Good news 2011 brides, WE tv is accepting applications for those getting married between April 2011 and August 2011, as well as October 2011 and November 2011. However, the couple must reside or plan on hosting their wedding in Los Angeles or New York City. Based on the episodes that I have seen, you probably need a really outrageous theme in-mind, clashing ideas, or literally no plans at all. So those of you who have a good start on planning, forget about it. However, WE tv is casting for several other new and returning wedding shows. Visit their casting site to enter!


"Chelsea"



Tutera has also launched a wedding dress collection with Faviana, a leading designer of sophisticated evening wear. The collection, David Tutera by Faviana, is a line of luxurious wedding gowns inspired by celebrity red carpet fashions. Remember Chelsea Clinton’s Vera Wang dress featured in my previous post? Tutera has designed his own version of the gown, appropriately named "Chelsea.”
