My Fair Wedding TV Show, A MUST SEE For All Brides!

Host: David Tutera
Show: My Fair Wedding






As a wedding professional who has worked in the industry since 1991, I can honestly say that Central California is behind in wedding style. No offense to anyone who may read this, and don't get me wrong, , , I've seen a fair number of what I would refer to as "high-end" weddings, , , ,however, overall, the weddings I've seen and have worked at in Central California are quite lacking in the "style" department.

Often, when I learn about how much a couple spent on their wedding, I expect to see the most fabulous wedding ever. This expectation however, is almost always a big let down, when I finally arrive at the ceremony location, only to see little to no decorations for the ceremony, , and then the most simple, plain (even boring) decor for the reception.

Granted, the economy has not been great, however, surprisingly, wedding spending has been affected very little according to third party statistics. So, where's all the money going?, one might say! Although this is not a question that any one person can answer, , , , through the years, I've seen some (in my opinion), very petty wedding spending.

Petty wedding spending? Yes, and I'm NOT referring to money well spent on a wedding photographer, or a wedding florist, or a fabulous wedding cake. I'm referring to money, that has been spent without in depth research. By that, I'm referring to couples who may simply and quickly spend money on (for example) a local memorial building in order to save money on their overall wedding costs. My experience has taught me that in the long run this type of thinking can actually end up costing the couple as much, or more than they would have spent on a much nicer, prettier, all inclusive venue that specializes in weddings.

Imagination!!!!!
Imagination is (for me), the best way to stretch your wedding budget. Engaged couples today, may be too busy, or stressed to even imagine having an imagination. Believe me when I say this, , , , some of the most memorable, visually stunning, and gorgeous weddings I've had the pleasure of working at, have been of the couples who not only budgeted for a fabulous wedding, but also used their imaginations to make the most of every dollar spent. Use your creative abilities, or that of your friends and family to help you come up with, or even create the most fabulous visuals, and decor for you and your guests to remember forever!

Amazing Wedding Cakes On WeTV

I am so excited about all the new TV shows about weddings and wedding planning.

I must be honest, I'm not too crazy about the show called "BrideZillas". It's quite embarrassing to watch to be honest with you. I feel that that particular show encourages bad behavior that is quite simply childish and cheap. Just my personal opinion however. Needless to say, I would not want to be one of the brides featured on that show. It's highly doubtful that my marriage would last long if I behaved so badly - but you know what they say - There's something for everyone.

Now, there are a few shows I really love to watch every week on WeTV. One of these shows is called "Amazing Wedding Cakes."

The show - Amazing Wedding Cakes has really opened my eyes as to just how amazing some wedding cake bakers are. In fact, I dare not call such talents wedding cake bakers any longer, , , but wedding cake artists.

The show features three cakerys as follows:

1. The Cake Atelier (in New York) (as seen in the video featured above), and of which I tend to favor not so much for their cakes, but for their personalities. The two owners are Lauri Ditunno, and Ruth Drennan. I lean more toward liking Lauri as her personality is a bit more colorful, wild, etc. and this runs over into her personal cake design style. Ruth is likable, but seems to be more of a stick in the mud. Both ladies however are very talented. I have just noticed that the two have both gone their separate ways in business and each has started out on their own in the cake industry. Lauri now owns the Cake Alchemy, and Ruth owns "Ruth Drennan Cakes". - Note the creative differences in their separate business names? You can tell a lot about a person's level of creativity by the business name(s) they choose in my opinion.

2. The Cake Divas (in Los Angeles CA) as seen in the video below. What can I say about the Cake Divas? I love their cakes, style, and obvious devotion to their art. Personality wise, I like Joan more than Lee, however, I find the two owners a bit fake, and over the top, but - I can forgive them due to their talent. The Cake Divas are quite popular, however I'm not completely blown away by their work in comparison to many other cake artists I have seen in the area. In my opinion, their sudden fame is not due to them providing something that nobody else does, , , nearly as much as this being a case of knowing the right people. That's Hollywood for you!

3. The Cakegirls (in Chicago) Are two sisters who are very talented as well, but again, there are many artists that are just as good as they are. Their personalities are a bit dry, but they are more likable to me than the Cake Divas. Meet the Cakegirls in the video below.
