• There are no white roses, stiff-as-frosting dresses, nor Tiffany solitaires; if you have any imagination, you can dream these things up yourself, and LP readers are very capable, I believe, of forming their own opinions.
• It's your day, after all, and if there is one day where you're allowed to insist on your taste, it's this one. Consequently, I've attempted to give three more idiosyncratic aesthetics: The Purist, The Adventurer, and The Romantic.

• Cost, however, was no object. These pieces are intended to inspirational, rather than a how-to guide. I have absolutely no idea how to plan a wedding. Perhaps just this one piece of advice: don't try to control everything.
• When it comes to cosmetics, I've already written an article on bridal makeup. In general, I would suggest fresh, classic makeup that is not much more elaborate than what you might usually wear, because it is a major buzzkill to worry about makeup.
