Tina LaMorte started Oh So Fabulous (201-981-7280; ohsofab.com) in 2003 after a career in advertising and marketing in NYC. She got tired of the 9-5 and quit to pursue her desire to bring gorgeous and unique weddings to couples.

Oh So Fab is known for whimsical and dynamic events that are never cookie cutter and are always on the pulse with the latest trends in the bridal industry. Taking cues from fashion and interior design, Tina and her fabulous staff enjoy taking risks and pushing the envelope with their event design. Tina loves her role as a wedding designer, but her best production yet is her son Charlie, whom she loves to death, along with her husband, Danny.

I love the idea of a pink wedding—pink dresses, pink flowers, pink tables, and even a pink groom (well, actually just his tie). But my fiancé is afraid of it turning into a girly event. Any ideas on how I can get him to come around?

Pink can be scary for some men. If you really love the color and you want to infuse it into your wedding design, here are some ways to make your wedding pink without being too girly.

First, try pairing it with a more masculine and dominant color like black or navy blue. The contrast of pink with either of those two very dramatic and dark colors will definitely tone down the *girly* feel of the wedding and it will look very rich and quite chic.

Another option is to limit the use of pink to only certain aspects of the wedding. You might want pink EVERYTHING but sometimes too much is exactly that...TOO much. You might make a bigger impact with unexpected splashes of the color pink with maybe just the linens and flowers. You might not need EVERY single piece of stationery the day of to be pink, and you might not have to have every bridesmaid wear the same pink gown. Switch it up, because sometimes a little color goes a long way and makes a bigger impact.

I want to truly go out of my way and specially thank my parents at the reception, in front of everyone, for all that they've done. Do you have any ideas on how I can do this?

Something really gorgeous and thoughtful that you can do for your parents is have their old Super 8 home movies or vintage photographs from their wedding made into a DVD that you can show to your all the guests at your wedding as a surprise tribute to your parents. It's a very special and sentimental way to make a few moments at the wedding about them, and to really focus on their lives together and pay tribute to the example that their love has been for you and your fiancé. Many videography companies will be able to create a short DVD for you.
