Ep 3. Great Gatsby Bride

My Fair Wedding is a reality TV show where wedding planner, David Tutera, comes to the rescue of brides whose wedding plans are going awry. For the third season's third episode titled Great Gatsby Bride, David meets with bride-to-be Latrice, who is planning a wedding inspired by the glamour of the 1920s and the popular book, The Great Gatsby.

Latrice has a budget of $35,000, but she's already spent close to $20,000 on her wedding dress and accessories. David is appalled by this and strives to make the rest of Latrice's wedding as luxurious as her dress without breaking the bank. He has less than two weeks to turn her simple wedding venue into a glamorous art deco wonderland.

David starts by discussing the invitation design with Latrice. He doesn't think her current choices align with the 1920s theme she wants, so he works with his graphics team to come up with a more suitable design. They create a beautiful invitation that looks like it's straight out of the 1920s.

Next, David discusses the decor with Latrice. He starts by creating a mood board with different 1920s-inspired images and colors. He wants to create an ambiance of opulence with a hint of vintage. He speaks with the florist about the flower arrangements and chooses white and gold flowers to match the look he's going for. He also wants to incorporate crystal chandeliers to add to the overall aesthetic.

David also starts the process of finding the perfect cake for Latrice's wedding. He takes the bride and groom to a bakery, where they taste different types of cakes and choose their favorite. David mentions that he wants the cake to be the centerpiece of the wedding and that it needs to be at least six tiers tall to match the grandiose theme.

Additionally, David provides Latrice and her bridal party with a dance lesson to perfect the Charleston, a popular 1920s dance. He hopes that it will add to the overall atmosphere of the wedding.

As the wedding day approaches, David encounters a few hurdles. First, he notices that the linens don't match the colors or texture he and Latrice had chosen. He quickly switches them out for a more suitable option. Then, the location for the photoshoot falls through. David scrambles to find a new location so that Latrice can have the wedding photos of her dreams.

On the day of the wedding, everything comes together beautifully. The hors d'oeuvres and champagne are flowing, and the grand decor exceeds Latrice's expectations. The cake is tall and elegant just as David promised. As Latrice walked down the aisle, a surprise singer performed a beautiful rendition of "At Last" by Etta James. As the reception commenced, professional dancers performed the Charleston, much to the guests' delight.

In the end, Latrice's wedding truly embodied the Great Gatsby theme, full of grandeur and extravagance. David, as always, delivered a stunning wedding that exceeded expectations despite the budget constraints. My Fair Wedding's Great Gatsby Bride episode is a must-watch for anyone craving to see 1920s glamor brought to life.
