Need some fresh, money-saving, elegant ideas to make your wedding as unique as you are? David Tutera is here to help! Tonight at 9PM, WE starts airing the second season of his wedding makeover series, My Fair Wedding, as he helps a Brooklyn bride create a Diamond White Wedding. Plus, early next year, you can buy his new book, The Big White Book of Weddings: The How-To Guide for the Savvy, Stylish Bride.

 

David Tutera's clients includes Elton John, Matthew McConaughey, Barbara Walters and many other celebs; so he's used to helping some pretty famous people. Can you imagine if a few TV characters hired him to help plan their wedding events? On Dollhouse on Friday, would Echo have picked the same veil? On Desperate Housewives tonight, how would David advise Mike Delfino to pick the right bride -- Susan or Katherine -- for his wedding? On Brothers & Sisters, what creative concepts would he suggest to Holly and Nora as they plan Rebecca and Justin's engagement party?

We might never know since David probably won't cross over into the fictional world anytime soon, but he did provide his Top 10 Wedding Tips. I wonder if Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom followed any of these helpful hints for their nuptials this afternoon?

 

10. Overall Planning: Think about the big picture! Before jumping into all the details, take some time to envision the overall end result (what is your dream wedding?) Organize all your thoughts and great ideas, and then, with a goal in mind, start with the shopping and decorating as a calm, cool and collected bride with a great plan.

 

9. Budget: There's no need to spend a ton of money to have a beautiful wedding; you just have to spend the money you do have wisely! Remember, being over-the-top is not a necessity -- less can be more and some of the most elegant weddings are done with well-executed simplicity.

 

8. Invitations: Invitations should set a tone of excitement for your entire affair! The outside of the envelope, the stamps, the layout of the invitation, and the font -- all the details count. When you're creating invitations, imagine what it will be like for your guests to be receiving them. A great invitation grabs the attention of your guests and guarantees the impression that yours is a wedding not to be missed.

 

7. Decor: When it comes to table centerpieces and reception floral arrangements, ask for a mix of high and low arrangements, or a variation of three correlating arrangement designs (that vary in cost) mixed throughout the tables. This combination will help cut costs from having to pay for all large arrangements for each table and will also add aesthetic variety to the look of your reception on many visual levels.

 

6. Your Wedding Dress: There are so many gorgeous gowns out there to choose from -- how do you pick "the" one? The key is to flatter your body and work with what you've got to look amazing in a fashion piece that compliments your every move. Pick a dress that compliments your body type -- know your body shape and what styles work best on you before you go dress shopping, and you'll be sure to find a dress that's truly the "perfect fit!"

 

5. Hair and Make Up: Hiring the right amount of make-up artists for your wedding party makes all the difference. Ask your make-up consultant in advance how much time she needs per girl, and how many assistants you need to hire to get the job properly done with time to spare for any touch-ups. Create an order of who in your bridal party will be done first, starting with mothers of the bride and groom and doing the flower girl towards the end (kids love to play with their hair and face, so the shorter amount of time between your flower girl's styling and the wedding, the better.) You, as the bride, should be last -- with plenty of time to spare to enjoy getting beautifully bridal!

 

4. Food and Beverage: Food can be so much more than a meal -- you can even use it to help convey your personalities and include your guests in your love story! Forexample, instead of just selecting regular foods to serve, create a menu that is inspired by places you and your groom have visited, your heritages, or your favorite dishes.

 

3. Expect the Unexpected: Always keep your guests guessing to keep them eagerly anticipating what they will experience next! Have something different happen every 30 minutes. Introduce a new food or drink, change the lighting or the music, have a new type of entertainment, move locations, or choose to have unique wedding timeline to change up things for your guests so it's not just another cookie-cutter wedding! Your guests will have unforgettable memories.

 

2. Happily Hosting: Being a great bride also means being a great host! Take time and make efforts to let your guests know how much it means to you that they came to share in your special day. Receiving lines, toasts and visiting tables as a couple are great ways to show your gratitude (and to see everyone!)

 

1. Enjoy Every Step of the Way! You will only be able to enjoy the rush and elation of planning your wedding one time, so revel in every moment of your wedding dreams coming true. Wedding planning should feel like an exciting series of events leading up to a grand finale. Include your closest family and friends and make the whole process a joyful journey.

 

Bonus Tip: Be a beneficiary bride! Post-wedding, consider donating your gown to a special shop that resells pre-worn wedding dresses to raise money and make wishes come true for breast cancer patients. Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation – Nationwide Tour of Gowns offers over 2,000 donated wedding gowns, with all proceeds from the wedding gown purchases go towards this great cause.
