Here Come the Moms Show #6 - Is Mom Trying to be the Bride?

Sun, 1 Mar 2009 00:31:00 GMT

Mothers and daughters share a tight bond that can lead to both great tension and great friendship. It's an intense relationship and one that we care about very much. Giving and receiving criticism is a touchy subject and often occurs when planning a wedding. Mothers feel obligated to make suggestions to show how much they care. This level of scrutiny can be very frustrating.

Is your mom trying to claim your wedding as HER DAY? Which kinds of things do moms do when they're trying to be the bride? Are you reading too much into your momâs suggestions? When in the process does this type of thing start to happen? What is it that a mom really wants or is trying to accomplish? How should a mother-daughter communicate their feelings and desires?

Holli Ehrlich and Sharon Naylor give helpful advice for daughters and for mothers/mother-in-laws. They tackle issues about the guest list, attire, being the center of attention, money and so much more. They share some of their personal experiences to reduce conflict, assumptions, and miscommunication and help you handle yours with TLC.

The bride, groom and their guests from India and California had a wonderful time.

Newlywedcast with Kaylynn and Bill - A Las Vegas Destination Wedding

Mon, 12 May 2008 20:24:00 GMT

How did our featured newlyweds Kaylynn & Bill meet and fall in love? Want to hear a really fantastic surprise birthday trip proposal? Why get married in Las Vegas? How did they start the wedding planning process from Seattle and discover that they needed help? Kaylynn had a specific vision for her wedding and toured many hotels and locations they considered for their wedding. She knew she wanted a coordinator in charge of the many details of the day and she lucked out finding and hiring Tracey Kumer-Moore of Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge. Connecting with your wedding planner is important and priceless. The groom totally agrees that a planner is an advocate for your interests with your vendors and they take care of things you probably have not thought about. They worked with wonderful wedding professionals selected from many of Traceyâs references. Kaylynn and Bill realized throughout their 10 month engagement that Tracey helped lessen the overwhelming stress and we all know how much that matters!

Their September wedding took place at the Wynn Las Vegas. They wanted an intimate evening with friends and family to celebrate their union. Were things planned for their guests for the weekend? Kaylynn talks about finding her dream Lazaro wedding gown at a beautiful boutique in Seattle that coincidentally all of the women in her family had gotten their gowns. Kaylynn knew her look was perfect. She describes it as Timeless + Glitzy = Las Vegas Romantic. Hear how they made their twilight ceremony meaningful. Are you thinking of having a half-time wardrobe change? Kaylynn changes into an Alice + Olivia cocktail dress â what fun!

Their vision was achieved via the dÃcor. They wanted an elegant setting so they set up a few lounge spaces, used the outdoor patio, and was surrounded by lots of candles and flowers. Uplights and white chiffon fabric and votives were utilized in the LaTache ballroom. They had a band and DJ with a really cool black dance floor. Learn about their photographer and the shots Kaylynn & Bill really wanted to capture the energy & life of the party. Bill was in charge of food and booze. No traditional sit down dinner for them. No seating charts. Helen from the Wynn helped design creative menu elements for their cocktail party even though they didnât eat much of the food. Sound familiar?

Kaylynn suggests all couples should do something magical right after the ceremony. Can you guess what she is referring to? Listen and find out. What were their most memorable & favorite moments about the wedding? What was the best money ever spent? Their motto was to have fun and enjoy themselves. Their guests are still raving about their fabulous Vegas wedding at the Wynn. This Newlywedcast is inspiring and full of love.

Samanthaâs forte is working with Brides on a Budget. Do you have to spend a quarter of a million dollars to have a fabulous wedding? NO! What are your needs and wants? What are some great ways to save? What are some hidden costs? Is everything really negotiable? How can a wedding planner be afforded even by the bride on a budget? Samantha discusses great ways to spend wisely.

What is the real role of a wedding planner? How can you utilize a planner efficiently? What is your wedding blueprint? Do you expect your wedding to be âperfectâ?? Whatâs the grand reveal?

Are there ways to keep sane? Do you want to focus on everything that can go wrong or are you able to relinquish control and enjoy the special day of love? Samantha counsels to enjoy the day regardless of what happens.

Bridal Scene LIVE - Let Them Eat Cake benefit for City of Hope

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:20:00 GMT

The wedding cake has been an important part of the wedding celebration since Roman Times. The wedding cake as we know it today, with layers, supporting pillars, & fancy frosting, has its origins in the wedding cake that commemorated the marriage of one of Queen Victoriaâs daughters in 1859. Through the years, the wedding cake has become the focus of a variety of customs and traditions. Let them Eat Cake, a wedding cake competition is Philadelphiaâs largest wedding fundraiser. Now thatâs a tradition worth talking about.

Mark Kingsdorf, owner of The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants, founded Let Them Eat Cake in honor of his mother Loisâ loving memory. Having been directly affected by a woman living with breast cancer it was a natural for him to start the Let Them Eat Cake for City of Hopeâs Cancer Center. It is a privilege to support Mark and join forces to raise awareness and much needed funding for cancer treatment and research.

More than 40 of the Philadelphia regionâs top pastry arts professionals and students competed for âtop chefâ? at the third annual Let Them Eat Cake benefit held at the elegant Park Hyatt. Participants displayed their single best design and provided one totally edible creation. Cakes were judged by culinary arts and wedding industry professionals including Carrie Denny of Philadelphia Elegant Wedding magazine, Thom Cardwell from Thom's Table, Michael Giletto from Cherry Valley Country Club and Phyllis Stein-Novack of the South Philly Review. The cakes were given awards for Most Artistic, Best Tasting and Best Overall.

Wedding Podcast Network interviewed many participants including aspiring students and culinary professionals. We asked them about their personal designs & fillings. We also asked them what they love about designing wedding cake. Hear some great stories behind the scenes.

Hundreds of culinary enthusiasts and brides-to-be attended this amazing evening. Once the cakes were sampled and judged the public - brides, grooms and Philadelphia foodies - sampled the entries. What a great opportunity for engaged couples to see, taste and be inspired by a variety of different cakes that they may choose for their own wedding day.

This story begins with a woman who was not really interested in working out. It was just not who she was...and WAS is the key word. Newlywed Colleen talks about why she wanted to lose weight for her wedding day and ever after.

Six months before her wedding, trying on the Vera Wang gown of her dreams, was the realization to wanting to look her very best. Hear all about her dress and how it made her feel. Colleen tells us she just knew she could look better.

Directionless with regard to diet and exercise she decided to work one-on-one with Christi Masi, founder of The Healthy Bride, based in Seattle. Christi's focus is on training women to successfully meet life challenges. Colleen later joined the group workouts. The strong support of like-minded women getting gown ready helped Colleen achieve personal success. She credits her Healthy Bride nutritionist with helping her incorporate a more healthy diet.

The results witnessed at her fittings were exciting. She feels fit and fabulous and has accomplished so much. Colleen lost 2 inches around her waist, 10 pounds, and went from a size 10 to an 8, yeah!

Can being more active transform your relationship with the love of your life, especially if he loves to workout? Colleen has made changes in her life that go far beyond her dress size. Listen and learn from her incredible experience.

Bonus: Hear firsthand about a Hawaii wedding from a Hawaiian native. Colleen's best advice: honor what you feel and be true to yourself.

Meet the Masters with Osnat Gad, author of the book "Wedding Rings"

Fri, 6 Apr 2007 17:30:00 GMT

Osnat Gad has been a renowned leader in the design, manufacture, and sale of wedding rings for more than 25 years. She wrote a wonderful book called Wedding Rings where history and romance comes together. Osnat tells us how she got interested in jewelry design and shares her personal design philosophy about the perfect symbol of eternal love. The precious circle signifies love has no beginning and no end. The ring symbolizes unity and your commitment to marriage.

Find out where the first known exchange of rings as objects of love took place. We discuss the evolution of the wedding ring and how this tradition got started. Are wedding rings viewed differently today? Listen and find out.

Every culture interprets the placement of the ring in its own way. One longstanding tradition is that the wedding ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand. Hear more about this custom here and around the world.

Osnat discusses different metal and stone options. We find out more about gold and platinum. We ask Osnat when diamonds came into style as bridal jewelry. Learn more about yellow diamonds, a personal favorite of Osnat's.

This is an important time for communication. Osnat recommends how couples should shop for engagement and wedding rings. The guy isn't sure what you really want yet wants to please. Is it okay to tell your boyfriend what you like and don't like?

Osnat shares great ideas how to adorn your personal style. Do you want to engrave your ring with a name, a special date, a pet name or private message? Have you considered stackable rings? Ever hear about a torture ring? What better way to celebrate your continuing commitment you have to one another than with an anniversary ring?

You will want to make sure your rings fit for a lifetime. Be realistic. Osnat tells us that your finger size may change and the possibility of re-sizing. How should you clean your rings? What if a diamond is loose? Osnat has great practical advice.

Osnat's best expert advice: Hear each other. Learn to share. Wedding rings are the most personal gifts between two people in love.

Grooms with a View Show #2 with Doug Gordon, author of The Engaged Groom

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:30:00 GMT

Robert Allen and Doug Gordon talk about Doug's book The Engaged Groom. Robert asks Doug what inspired him to write the book. When Doug got engaged in August 2003 he wanted his blog to have a focus. He was busy wedding planning so he wrote about it... engaged from the groom's point of view.

Robert asks Doug how he thinks chronicling the wedding experience helped the wedding planning process. Doug wrote about every last detail and learned more about weddings than the average guy. How did his wife Leora feel about this?

Robert and Doug discuss how to be an engaged groom. Great ideas to get involved. Be the producer, delivery guy, food tester...you like to eat, right? Make and keep track of the budget. Build a personalized wedding website. What is the number one thing you can do to help to guarantee your efforts will be appreciated? Listen to find out.

Engagements last at least 6 months. You need to stop looking at lists and swatches. It's time for a good dose of sanity. All couples need to hear about Doug and Leora's wedding-free zone. This is one of many useful Engaged Groom tips you will find within this show.

Do you micromanage your wedding? Did you actually listen to the lyrics when making your music selections? Did you realize your favorite love song is about heartbreak? Just because a song has a good beat doesn't mean it's appropriate at a wedding.

Great advice: a Do Not Play List.

The bachelor party discussion. Open communication is key. Be sensitive to your fiance's wishes and be honest. Are you comfortable with the plans? Be advised when you should not have your bachelor party.

Doug helps give voice to questions and concerns that many grooms share.

Newlywedcast with Hyela and Jack who had a romantic wedding at the Essex House in New York City

Fri, 9 Mar 2007 17:23:00 GMT

Are you a little older? Do you both work? Would you want to plan your second wedding different than your first? Hyela does and embraces her second walk down the aisle with much happiness. Jack, never married before, has two proposals to make. Hear how Jack includes Sabrina, Hyela's 8 year old daughter. Later in the show you find out that Jack selected the simple, yet sexy Elizabeth Fillmore wedding dress at Saks Fifth Avenue. It's a red carpet winner for Hyela's big day.

Hyela and Jack have a year to plan their New York City wedding. They know they want an intimate and elegant location. Having no time to really work on a wedding, they hired an event coordinator, Kristin Manolis of Manolis & Company Productions. We asked this busy, engaged couple how they found Kristin and how they worked together.

Date: Thanksgiving weekend. Place: The Essex House. What next? This special couple wanted a party -not a traditional "first" wedding. Music and entertainment was such important components that they had a separate coordinator. Ever think of including your guests into the lyrics of a song?

Would you want someone famous to officiate? At first Jack was not enthusiastic, but was ultimately touched by former Mayor David Dinkins' heartfelt words. The ceremony was touching & meaningful for Hyela, Jack and their guests.

Hyela worked very closely with Kristin when designing floral centerpieces and the creative stationery system. Individual menus had beautiful calligraphy and were presented in the round. Some really unique and innovative designs were incorporated to reflect this couple's taste and personality.

Best advice: definitely hire an event coordinator. After interviewing three or four possible candidates Hyela and Jack were very pleased with Kristin's ability to orchestrate and produce a fabulous wedding. They said, "Kristin does all the work. We expressed our desires and chose exactly what we wanted . Guaranteed you'll have less mistakes, headaches and hassles."

Do you want to leave an amazing impression on your guests? Listen and get some terrific ideas for your wedding from Hyela and Jack.

Meet the Masters with Monica Hickey

Thu, 8 Feb 2007 00:43:00 GMT

Many a bride has a fantasy of looking like a princess on her wedding day. Wedding Podcast Network had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the legendary Monica Hickey who has presided over the most prestigious bridal salons and boutiques here and abroad. Brides have trusted Monica and her advice. Now it's your turn to have an inside visit with our featured Master - Monica Hickey, fashion leader of bridal dressing.

Monica Hickey started her bridal career in 1967 at Henri Bendel in NYC. Under the seven year management of Miss Hickey, the Henri Bendel Bridal Salon became the number one destination for the most discerning and famous brides. She discovered her true passion for fashion design and the pleasure of working with brides seeking a dress they really love. Miss Hickey then went to Bergdorf Goodman where she had her own department named "The Bridal World of Monica Hickey."

Monica has traveled the world and has inspired the design of the wedding dress. Saks Fifth Avenue and Kleinfeld have also been home to Monica's creativity and expert fashion direction. In fact, the famous Vera Wang came to Monica while she was at Saks and picked her wedding gown. Monica also gives us an inside look into Princess Diana's choice of wedding gown. Was it the right dress for a Princess?

Despite the passing of time, styles and fashions, Monica tells us that all brides search for the perfect dress. From the 60's to now times have changed. Society and fashion is reflected in the bride's choices. Monica Hickey is the quintessence of trust and honesty. The integrity of the advice must be true. She has committed herself to the happiness and beauty of brides and gives her point of view with class and style. What's the best advice Monica has to offer? Tune in and find out.

Premier Episode of Here Come the Moms with Hosts Sharon Naylor and Holli Ehrlich

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 04:41:00 GMT

Welcome to the premier show of Here Come the Moms.

Finally, moms get their most important wedding-related questions answered! Co-hosts, wedding author Sharon Naylor and Holli Ehrlich provide the latest information for the mothers of the bride and the mothers of the groom. Brides and moms will learn how to work harmoniously for the perfect wedding experience.

In this episode Sharon & Holli agree that weddings are a happy business and mothers are an important component in wedding planning and ever after. Weddings are different than five or ten years ago. Sharon's books, The Mother-of-the-Bride Book and Mother of the Groom, were inspired by moms who are confused about their roles. They feel caught in the middle of old world and new world traditions. They are not sure what they are supposed to do or where they fit in.

This podcast will help all moms and step moms enjoy the excitement, the creative process, the celebration. Planning your wedding is a momentous yet short-lived chapter of your life. "Expectations are premeditated resentments," cites Sharon. You are bound to be disappointed if you don't have realistic expectations. Listen and learn how to communicate with your mother and the entire family.

Roles may have changed, but brides absolutely want their moms included in the wedding planning. Brides today are older, more assertive. Moms used to be co-planners and now they are part of a team. Dads and grooms are more involved. How can a bride and groom pay tribute to their extended family? Sharon and Holli discuss this and a lot more about the importance of building and securing lasting future relationships.

Stay tuned for upcoming show topics: the new roles and rules for parents, fashion trends, etiquette Do's and Don'ts, conflict resolution tips and more.

There is a lot of fun to be had listening to Here Come the Moms, exclusively on Wedding Podcast Network.

Planet Bride with Henry and Michelle Roth - Alterations and Your Alter Ego - Inside the Fitting Room - Part 2

Mon, 8 Jan 2007 12:00:00 GMT

Henry and Michelle Roth take you behind the curtains in their NYC showroom with real bride Ruth. She took a train from Albany, NY to discuss her concerns and fears about how the wedding dress fits. Henry and Michelle take care of this 6' tall bride in the alterations room. Henry and Michelle want this bride and brides everywhere to be happy with their choice. Will the dress that Ruth likes accommodate her height and torso? Is this the dress she will ultimately purchase?

Many questions are asked of Ruth - Are you nervous about today's appointment? What type of wedding are you having? Did you use the Internet when looking for the gown? Did you go to any sample sales? Did you bring a shoe with the right heel height and lingerie? Are you happy with the proportion of the bodice? What are you most conscious of? When you try on a sample size can you vision how it will look once fitted? What does the bride want to hide on her body the most? Why are you uncertain?

Can every bride have a better shape and a more flattering, slimming result with a proper fitting? We learn about measurements, the usage of corsets and the proper hemline.

Some of the important alteration lessons in this podcast are:

Your consciousness about your body must be communicated honestly. It's all about the dress fitting correctly. When you look at a photo on a website you are looking at a runway model wearing a dress that has been altered to fit perfectly. Numbers are only important to the seamstress. They are irrelevant to the bride. All that matters is that the bride feels good.

Will Ruth find the gown of her dreams? What are the pitfalls of alterations? What do you need to know when you walk into the alterations room?

This and much more on Part 3. Stay tuned.

It's a keepsake to remember the day long after the delicious popcorn is eaten.

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 16:07:00 GMT

WPN found our featured bride via her blog entries posted on weddingbee.com, one of our favorite places to read about weddings. We enjoyed Mrs. Grasshopper's story and had the privilege to hear all about her 11 month plans from engagement to honeymoon in Kauai.

Karen tells us how she met her husband Alex and how he proposed in Paris - ooh la la! What did they plan first? What was their top priority? Was the groom involved? Bring Sasha beloved dog to the wedding? What color for your bridal party? Write your own vows? Flowers? Music? Cupcakes? Answers to these questions and lots more.

What would you do if no one showed up at your last fitting appointment AND you learned the gown store was closing? Karen remains unruffled and shares the drama of the dress. This is one story you don't want to miss.

Karen used the Internet for many of the resources cited in the podcast. She found the web invaluable. The Knot message boards proved to be an unbelievable community. Check out the links below.

We asked Karen if she would've done anything differently. Everything was better than expected. Her Wedding Day Quarterback was a tremendous facilitator bringing all the elements together. We can all learn a lot from this cool, calm and collected New York bride.

This Newlywedcast is with Heather and Vee who were married in July. They talk about how they met on the internet dating site eHarmony.com. We discuss what that experience was like for them. Both Heather and Vee are school teachers. Planning a wedding around school vacation was challenging so they did some pre-planning. Hear about how Vee proposed to Heather and how they involved their families.

Some interesting planning strategies are revealed as we talk about searching for a location for the wedding reception. Is it a good thing to have your groom very involved in the planning process? Heather talks about how she felt about Vee's contribution to the wedding planning.

Personalizing the wedding ceremony was very important to both the bride and groom. We learn how they went about making the ceremony meaningful for themselves, their family and friends. A family member even performed the ceremony. They also share how they accommodated their students that were invited to witness their teachers getting married.

We explore the process that they went through in choosing their wedding vendors. From the brass quintet and hand bell choir for the ceremony to the big band that they chose for their reception. Vee even sat in with the band to play sax on a few songs.

We discuss menu selections and special dietary requirements for the wedding reception. Finally Heather and Vee talk about their fabulous three week honeymoon in Austria.

The storytelling begins with Justina McCaffrey's "Majestic" collection. Her dresses, created out of the finest silks, exude a gracefulness and classic elegance. All of her designs carry a strong tie with Justina's love of ballet.

Reem Acra's collection is about modernity and feminity inspired by Josephine Bonaparte. Acra is known for her attention to detail, signature beaded embroideries and unique fabric combinations.

Monique Lhuillier Bride is high fashion. Sighted: Hand tufting, re-embroidered lace, three quarter and long sleeves, full A-line skirts and pleated boleros. Colors: Ivory, Pewter, Mushroom and Latte.

Carmela Sutera introduced an elegant collection featuring the finest European fabrics. The linen gowns with Venice lace were particularly fresh. Colored satin sashes, pleated waistbands, long sleeves, colored ribbon accents were a few of the details noticed on the runway.

Anne Barge's love and appreciation of classic, timeless elegance is reflected in her latest bridal collection. Ice blue silk satin, cotton pique, Paris brooches, hand beading, fine feathers, black silk flowers, black velvet band and crystal cut sequins accented with Swarovski crystals were just some of the beautiful adornments seen.

Mark Badgley & James Mischka, celebrity designers, are masters of bead, lace and red carpet glamour. The Badgley Mischka signature style is simple, streamlined and thoroughly elegant, luxurious detail. Sexy, Retro Silhouettes. Shoes and handbags also designed by Badgley Mischka.

Feminine glamour and modern styles by Amsale, Christos and Kenneth Pool follow. Scoop: Project Runway's Austin Scarlett caught the eye of judge Amsale Aberra and was offered the head design position at Kenneth Poole, an Amsale division known for opulent, luxurious bridal and evening wear.

The PLATINUM for Priscilla of Boston Collection is for brides who prefer a more luxurious, dramatic gown. Designs are created from elegant silk fabrics with hand-embroidered beading, crystal and threadwork.

Venezuelan-born Angel Sanchez creates bridal gowns that are architectural and contemporary while still being feminine. Sanchez represents the perspective of the international Latin-American style. His mother was his first inspiration because of her taste and determination.

Pnina Tornai, leading designer in Israel, houses her collection exclusively at Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC. Her signature corset design is created to have the perfect fit. Her collection varies from classic with clean lines and details to sophisticated hand embroidered ballgowns. The finale wowed us: Noir - black wedding gown.

Vera Wang celebrates the individuality and spirit of modern young women. Waists are loose and free, or wrapped in sashes of tulle or linen, sequin, snakeskin and stones. Element of style: extravagant bows, ties and watteaus create a sense of volume, movement and ornamentation. Her collection of dresses express freedom, elegance, and ease.

We hope you enjoyed walking down the runway with us.

Robert Allen speaks with Craig Michaels, a happily married man and the author of Thirty to Wife, a "What to Expect at Your Wedding" guide for every prospective groom. Craig is also the creator of an extensive website serving as a sounding board for grooms-to-be. Craig advises grooms starting the process: support your bride, really listen and step up every now and then and you will be appreciated for it. Learn what to do and what NOT to do.

Hear how brides can get their groom involved through technology whether using the Internet for basic research for favors, booking travel, purchasing jewelry to creating your registry and building a wedding website. The groom inevitably will get hooked.

Listen first hand how to best deal with the family - the inlaws and your family. Be a good son. Communicate. Delegate. Be patient.

Wedding costs are out of control. Craig shares some great cost saving ideas without cheapening the affair. Start early, go off the beaten path, adopt a less-is-more attitude. Saving money will save you time and anxiety in the long run.

You're not getting away without wearing a wedding ring. Tune in and hear Craig's Tiffany & Co. story. Who doesn't love a little blue box?

LoveCast(tm) Show #4

Tue, 3 Oct 2006 14:28:00 GMT

Why do women like to talk more than men? What is "relationship talk"? Are relationships more important to women than men? These are just some of the questions that we tackle in this episode of the LoveCast.

This show is all about communication. Men and women differ greatly how they talk about the relationship with their partner. Women are excited to talk. Men automatically assume that there is a problem. We need to understand that men and women approach problems differently and have different styles of how to work things out. Both men and women should be rewarded for what they say and do. Talk is therapuetic.

Learn how to communicate during high stress times such as when planning a wedding. Find out the key things to remember when you are in those stressful times to help keep the relationship healthy. We have the answers to better understand why talk helps you connect, feel better and build intimacy.

Our featured guest on the show is Lori Harris, Certified Astrologer. Lori takes us through the Zodiac and discusses traits of each sign, especially with regard to love and relationships.

How do I find the right wedding consultant? Does my destination have to take place at a big resort? Is renting a villa an option? Do I need to entertain my guests? Who is responsible for paying? Does the honeymoon have to be at the same place as the wedding?

Rebecca Grinnals is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts on the business of Destination Weddings and Honeymoons.

Meet the Masters with Preston Bailey

Fri, 6 Jan 2006 18:16:00 GMT

Since I started shooting weddings in the late 80's I have always been fascinated by how floral designers were able to create such beautiful flower arrangements. Then I had the pleasure of working with Preston Bailey who brought my appreciation to a whole new level. To say that Preston Bailey is a floral designer is like saying Pavarotti is a just a singer. Preston Bailey's work in my opinion is magical. I have been lucky enough to work with Preston Bailey on many weddings over the years and I am always amazed at his talent. No one I know can create floral master pieces the way he can. His work truly takes your breath away. When Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Joan Rivers, Donna Karan, Liza Minnelli, Laurence Fishburne, Bill Cosby, Matt Lauer, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones wanted to celebrate the magical moments in their lives, Preston was their first call. I had the chance to interview Preston Bailey in his studio loft in New York City for this podcast. Preston shared with me his philosophy about wedding planning and design. He gives great advice on flower choices, color and texture. Preston describes his choices for particular flowers for many styles of wedding.
