RON: “Tavern on the Green only offered wine and cheese for the post-party, whereas New York, New York disco gave us a whole buffet of steaks. We decorated behind the main table with pictures from my wife’s magazine, Today Is Sunday, and with my pictures—I often covered events at that disco.

What can brides and grooms expect from your new dessert company launching this fall? ERIC SEE: This is for couples who want more than just a cake at their wedding—they want a dessert experience. Erin and I have done a lot of receptions (she owned Sweet Pistachio, and I run the Awkward Scone), and we’ve seen a demand for these kind of live-action dessert stations: doughnut machines, liquid-nitrogen-ice-cream bars. The idea in teaming up is to offer big-scale productions like that in addition to the little touches we’ve become known for in our respective work—like sweet and savory hors d’oeuvre and party favors. What kinds of favors and hors d’oeuvre? ERIN EMMETT: A great wedding favor I’ve created are these little boxes of scones and biscuits with homemade jam. Your…

The Muscle: Back THE CHANNEL: Blogilates by Cassey Ho THE MOVE: Half-Cobra Grasshopper (minute 8:30) 1. Begin on your belly with hands underneath your shoulders, elbows touching your rib cage, and with your knees wide, feet up toward the ceiling, and toes pointed together to make a triangle. 2. In a slow, controlled motion, perform one half-cobra push-up—pushing through your palms until your chest lifts as high off the floor as you can get it without straightening your arms. 3. After holding for a moment, bring your chest down and move into a grasshopper lift by raising your knees off the mat. Ho: “I’ll definitely be doing this move for my own upcoming wedding—I’m wearing a backless trumpet dress.” youtube.com/watch?v=l0Lfg4szAjM The Muscle: Arms THE CHANNEL: Michelle Lewin…

THE FIRST BIG SNOWFALL of the season arrived on the wedding day of Laura Becker and Jeremy Hirschhorn, both 31. Although “it did hurt our photo schedule,” says Laura, a sales consultant and founder of Recs.com, “we got beautiful pictures in the snow.” The couple, who met as co-workers at LivingSocial, liked Vinegar Hill’s 26 Bridge for its industrial feel and capacity to hold all 200 of their guests (they packed the space further with stations from Katz’s Deli and a barrel where fresh mozzarella was rolled). Laura requested that their caterers conjure a “Jersey basement party” complete with beer pong, burgers, and trays of Jell-O shots. At one point, Jeremy says, “I looked around for Laura, and there she was, in her full dress—doing a stage dive. I’ll forever…

Say you’re making Kate Upton’s wedding-reception dress—which you did. How many fittings does that require? We did five fittings. The fabric she wanted was heavily encrusted with beads; when we cut into it to make the dress, each individual bead had to be sewn down so it didn’t fall off. And it had a built-in corset—we’ve kind of become known for our flexi-boning, which we construct from scratch as the skeleton of the dress. It gives you a lot of support but with an elasticity that allows you to eat and breathe and move like a human being. It just makes you feel really good. In general, though, even for a less involved custom gown, five fittings is typical. Which amounts to how much of the bride’s time—and money? About…

How do you help women choose the right pieces for the wedding day? CHRISTINA VIVIANI: Brides show us the dress, and that helps us understand what they need to be comfortable underneath. Comfort is so much of what we’re about. When we started this company two years ago, we thought, What if this lingerie just feels good? And this is for women who don’t want anything cheesy. If you come in needing something to wear under a sheer vintage lace slip, for instance, we have our Anesi darted silk slip ($255), which is very ’90s Kate Moss. Or if you’re going to be wearing a fitted dress, which might show bra and panty lines, there’s our Canova collection of bottoms (from $38) and bralettes ($88); it has no darts and…

1. Cut a No. 10 can in half. 2. Drop in a piece of charcoal (look for a brand with as few chemical additives as possible) and ignite it with a long-reach butane lighter. 3. Once the charcoal starts glowing, use metal tongs to transfer it to a cast-iron pot. 4. Place the pot on the table in front of your guests (consider confining the s’mores roasting to just a few tables to keep the venue from getting too smoky), along with piles of bamboo skewers, Hershey’s bars, graham crackers, and marshmallows. Chef Baxtrom’s Marshmallow Recipe 2 cups cold water 3 cups sugar 2 cups light corn syrup 6 packages gelatin powder 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 vanilla beans, seeds scraped and reserved ½ tsp. salt 1 cup powdered sugar…

“HE’S THE BEST-DRESSED MAN I’ve ever met,” Rameses Tritto Crisi, 35, remarked to the sister of his friend Keith, 31, far before the pair ever started dating. Once they fell in love and decided to get married, it was clear that Keith, a master tailor for Hermès, would make the clothes. He crafted a blue velvet tailcoat for his husband and a red-and-yellow tailcoat, inspired by Gilded Age hunt balls, for himself. They set the mood of a “1930s house party” at a former hunting lodge with a solarium and walled garden. For his part, Rameses, a creative director, designed the invitations, which he based on those of royal weddings. Of the dressing gowns his husband also created for the day, Rameses says, “We’ll rewear those for our first anniversary.”…

1 THE NECKLINE: Sweetheart (Badgley Mischka) This gown shape is more romantic than a straight-across strapless; a pearl on a classic 16-inch chain plays that up ($496 at the Clay Pot; clay-pot.com). 2 THE NECKLINE: Off-the-Shoulder (Carolina Herrera) The silhouette is traditional; a richly colored stone—like this teardrop ruby—makes it feel fresh ($2,725 at Marisa Perry; marisaperry.com). 3 THE NECKLINE: V (Galia Lahav) Seven descending round brilliant-cut diamonds follow the dramatic plunge of the dress ($8,000 at Greenwich St.Jewelers; greenwichjewelers.com). 4 THE NECKLINE: Illusion (Lela Rose) A simple diamond pendant won’t snag the fabric ($5,200 at Marisa Perry; marisaperry.com). 5 THE NECKLINE: Straight (Anne Barge) Don’t compete with the clean line of the dress—this delicate silver choker is just a millimeter wide ($48 at Catbird; catbirdnyc.com).…

What sparked the idea for this new registry service? As a wedding planner for 16 years, I’ve consistently found that my clients are stressed about their registries. The process has only gotten more daunting, because now, instead of going to Bloomingdale’s with a scan gun, you can choose from thousands and thousands of products online. It seems convenient, but nobody, especially when planning a wedding, has time to sift through all that. Slowdance is a free service where a design professional consults with you and makes recommendations and works with you from beginning to end—we’ll even answer questions from your guests. Where do couples need the most help? China is a tough one. A lot of people choose an all-white china pattern, for instance, which has no personality. But on…

How do people want to smell on their wedding day? It’s about being draped in your best personal fragrance ever but also one that fits the setting. Like for my sister’s wedding in France, I customized a fragrance with French flowers and herbs like anise, lavender, neroli, and mimosa. For a friend who worked for the designer Todd Snyder, I did a rich jasmine chypre with a big dose of a rare pungent oud from Thailand. That’s not actually something you would be able to buy in a storeoud is so rare because it’s a natural oil that the agarwood tree produces only when infected by a specific fungus—but the point is it was very personal. It’s about the mood you want to create: Do you want a south-of-France kind…

IF YOU CONSIDER THEIR TIME LINES, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been emulating Jessica Douglas and Lawrence Florio for a while now. For one, the couples happened to end up at the same Jamaican resort last year within days of each other—which was when Jessica, 32, and Lawrence, 34, realized that, well, they sort of looked like the future Sussexes. “We noticed the resemblance,” says Jessica, who works in business support. They would also share a wedding date: Jessica and Lawrence married in front of their 200-plus guests on May 19, a year to the day before the ceremony at Windsor. For the reception, they created blowups of themselves, initially intended to decorate the photo booth, but they migrated around the venue at the hands of their partygoers. “I…
