Brunch with David Tutera

Recently, I attended an event called Style in the sky! Style in the sky was a combination of a bridal and fashion show which drew some big names! The speakers included Harmony Walton whose client list includes: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley, Will and Jada Smith, and many others. Many TV shows and magazines consider her their go-to person for all that is weddings! She is also the owner of the bridal bar, which serves as a resource to brides. Locally, we have the Bride's Lounge that serves a resource for Knoxville brides!





Prior to the event I was able to attend a brunch with David Tutera. David is the event designer to the stars. Among his celebrity clientele are Star Jones, Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey, Elton John, Barbara Walters, Tommy Hilfiger, and Susan Lucci. He brought pictures to share with us from Star's wedding! David is also the star of We TV's "My Fair Wedding".



The colors of the brunch were hot pink and orange. The centerpiece was wrapped with banana leaves, bamboo, and tropical flowers! David's key point was to change up the setting every 30 minutes to keep guests entertained.

Ever After has often used this theory in weddings we've planned. For example, at a wedding at Historic Bleak House we moved the guests to a different location. Following dinner in the gardens, we had guests move to the house for the cutting of the cake and dancing on the patio! We've also followed this theory in music. We had a violin stroll for dinner and then the band kicked up the party after the cake was cut! Now that's how to entertain your guests!


Following brunch with David the bridal show started. Brides were able to sit in on seminars from the experts. Local vendors were on hand to showcase their talents and services. Following the bridal show there was a fashion show with Anne Barge! Anne's gowns have been featured in magazines worldwide. She also provide the gown for the Today Show's Win a Wedding!



The show was fabulous as you would expect. However, my pictures were not as swift! Check out her site to see the real deal. Below is a picture of Calandra Terry, Kristie, and Anne Barge.


Style it up!
