Tip of the Day: "Basic ingredients can have the same impact as more expensive dishes and ingredients. Upgrade traditional entrees with new preparation techniques (e.g. pureed cauliflower instead of sautéed), or garnish a steak with edible flowers and microgreens," say the pros from Modern Art Catering.

Tip of the Day: "Select a bridal registry that is true to your personalities. If you're not going to use the gold-rimmed china, then skip it!" says Sara Fried from Fête Nashville.
If you want to splurge on a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, honeyfund.com is a great option to let your guests in on the fun. Or if hi-tech gadgets get you excited, she suggests registering at a large chain store that offers group registries so that you can outfit a new media room. Some of her foodie clients have even been registering for recipe and ingredient delivery services so they can cook healthy meals together (e.g. Blue Apron though Zola.com) or a wine of the month club.

We love how this fun photo gives a peek at the secret message on the bride's shoes!
We were recently honored to be a part of the judging panel for the fifth annual bridal gown design competition from New York City’s High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI) in partnership with Kleinfeld Bridal. These amazingly talented students, all from the junior class, created gorgeous gowns showcasing their creativity and design skills.
Tip of the Day: "Set parameters for your bridesmaids! So many brides these days want their 'maids to be happy, which is great. However, that can sometimes translate into saying, 'Just pick whatever you want,' and having too many choices can make the process harder for them. Also, the bride may have preferences she isn't even aware of until she sees what her friends have picked, and then the backtracking and hurt feelings creep in," say the pros at Joanna August.
They recommend letting your bridesmaids choose their top three styles and colors, or rank their favorites in order out of a pre-selection you have made. That way, everyone gets a say, but the bride ultimately cobbles together the exact look and combinations she wants.
