Nothing, but my wedding is inspired by some of his designs (but on a smaller budget) so he would probably approve anyway.
I saw this show once and have to say there's no chance in hell I'd let anyone, including him, change my wedding. I love everything we've picked out and it's OUR wedding full of our aesthetic preferences and personalities. It's not becoming anyone else's wedding, especially not some celebrity narcissist's generic wedding.
I think that if I had a very limited budget and couldn't afford the wedding of my dreams that David Tutera would be a awesome option! (Whenever I watch that show, I always have the feeling that the bride and groom have an extremely limited budget.) I think he brings a workable budget with him and the ability to design a day that is over the top in the imaginations of the families involved. I never get the feeling that he is disrespectful of the bride and groom. I think that sometimes the changes in gowns are an upgrade in quality that the bride could not afford. (The other gowns may appear okay on the tv, but may have damage that is noticable in person or are out of date or cheaply made...) David seems to respect their choices if it has a special reason to be worn. I have a feeling if it was something that they just absolutely loved that David would find a way to make it work.
I agree that it could be a great opportunity for people with very limited budgets, but I do think that in the episode I saw, and the clips I've seen online, that he's completely shot down some of the bride and groom's personality in favor of what *he* considered to be less tacky or more elegant or whatever. I don't think that's cool.
I think that if I had the opportunity to let him do my wedding, I would. Only because I know he would take what I already have and make it over the top. I do love everything about my wedding, but there are some things that I would love to do that are totally not budget friendly. For the most part though, I do think he would approve of most of what I am doing.
I say yes because he sure has found some tacky wedding people. And it's amazing he can change it. Yes, if has the money to change this I say take it. I wish he'd change mine but not my dress... I love my dress.
I think it's all about the ratings, as are most of these shows. I assume that Tutera pays for a lot of the upgrades, including gown, cake, venue, etc. so he seems to have the right to change whatever he wants, even if it isn't really necessary. If a couple is really hard up for funds for the wedding, and are willing to make it a Tutera wedding, then I guess it's OK. I wonder how many of the shows were flops and couldn't be aired.
I'de let him change anything he wanted!! My vision is good, but his is GRAND!! Well I guess i wouldn't let him change just one thing...my wedding shoes.
I'll wear whatever gown you want, by who can say no to the Something Blue Satin Pump by Manolo Blahnik?
i dont think he would change anything i have but he might upgrade it, so that would be ok... lol
When David Tutera does weddings for his show, EVERYTHING is donated from the vendors to the bride and groom in exchange for the great advertising they get! I imagine that many of the weddings are done on weekdays that otherwise wouldn't be booked anyway. Who wouldn't want all the freebees that he gives them? I've seen episodes where he allows the bride to wear the dress she picked out (or paid for by the mom) and then he gives her another dress for the reception. He seems like he does take the feelings of the bride into consideration. His weddings give the couple an event that most brides could never afford and only dream about. Wouldn't it be nice to sit back and relax and let someone else take care of all the details? The only thing I wouldn't like would be the intrusion of cameras at the wedding itself.
I;d want the intrusion of the cameras. that would be great to get on film. the whole weddding. It would still be personal because it would represent me:)
I would definitely let him do it, because every episode that I have watched he has taken the brides vision/personality and given them an event on the next level. I also love that all the weddings are pretty different, interesting and creative. I am yet to see him force something she absolutely hates on a bride.
I don't even know who this guy is (we don't have cable/sat television), but I would beat the crap out of him for changing my wedding. It's MY wedding.
Definitely! I wouldn't apply b/c I don't want my wedding to be on TV, but it looks like he follows the couple's vision, but throws tons of money at it to make verything top of the line.
I wouldn't change anything that had sentimental value, or change the tone of my wedding (I don't want a black-tie event, for example), but it doesn't look like he does that anyway.
Heck Yes! lol I dont think he would change too much, but he would make it so much more amazing than i can afford to do, Im mostly thinking of the things that man dreams up for flowers, so pretty!
I would let him take over in a heartbeat! He seems to genuinely care about the bride and groom's happiness, and I've never seen him completely toss out anyone's vision for their day -- even when he was initially skeptical. He just upgrades their ideas, helps them maintain focus, and turns $10-$20k weddings into $50-$100k, over-the-top elegant weddings.
Nope. We wouldn't mind that sort of help AT ALL.
I think I would. I've never a perfect vision in my head for my wedding. What I am concerned about is the feel and ambiance. As long as he understood that, he would have free rein!
I might let him change it, as far as what is typically done on the show. He really seems to know what he's doing. I do like how he challenges the brides to go outside their comfort zones.
Most likely not. A lot of his designs that I've seen involve draping the reception room so you cannot see the architecture and using large, flowery centerpieces. We have chosen our reception/ceremony location because of the history and for the building itself (he would be forbidden from changing that) and I really do not want large centerpieces. I remember one couple had a beautiful Art Deco reception hall- and he covered the entire room in drapping, which makes me wonder why he chooses beautiful locations only to cover them up. He probably wouldn't like that we are not serving alcohol either but he would just have to realize that a emotionally distressed bride ranks higher than signature cocktails.
He only operates out of Philly/NYC so that's not a concern for us.
Make sure to watch next week - my cousin Courtney will be on his show (swamp oasis bride). I didn't attend the wedding, but my mother did. The bride was working with a really tight budget, even considering charging people to attend. David gave her the wedding she could have only dreamed of. I hear he's amazing to work with.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I've been watching My Fair Wedding lately and it made me think about what I want versus what I'm doing versus what he would change. I actually don't think I would let him change my wedding because I couldn't imagine him taking away my dress or the boys jackets or my photographer. I mean, I love most of what I've picked. Would you let David change your wedding?
