The star of WEtv's David Tutera: Unveiled on what he always asks his brides — and the queries they have for him!

By: David Tutera

What David Asks His Brides:

escort card arrangementQ: What kind of wedding would you like to have?

A: The answer I often get is "I want a unique, different, creative wedding" — which is not the answer I am looking for. Every bride wants something unique; I want to see how far outside the box the couple wants to go. The style and personality they want to come through are important, but I need to understand how far they’re willing to venture — and how much they’re willing to break with the formula of a traditional wedding.

Q: What’s your color scheme?

A: Surprise: A lot of my brides don’t have a ready answer. Think about specific colors, preferably bringing in fabric swatches, paint chip colors, magazine tear sheets — anything that depicts what you’re envisioning. Ideally, I like to see three color choices per palette: a primary color (your main color), a secondary color (your accent color) and a third color (what I call the finish color: silver, crystal, copper or gold).

Q: How would you like to infuse your personalities into your celebration?

A: I hope the couple answers by telling me more about who they are — the types of foods they love, their cultural backgrounds, stories about their relationship, where they met, etc. The reason I ask this is because I want to tell the couple’s story. The more personality and detail in your wedding, the more your wedding becomes your wedding, instead of the cookie-cutter format so many people tend to follow.

Q: What style do you live your life in?

A: Are you Modern? Classic? Eclectic? Traditional? Retro? I ask this question because the answer gives me a sense of who you are as a couple, as well as the way you like to live.

Q: What style would you like your wedding to be executed in?

A: The style a couple wants for their wedding may not be the style they live their lives by. It’s often more of a fantasy they want to live out for that day. Find the perfect theme for your wedding ►
