Seize the day: Expert tips from the man behind top celeb events
Celebrity wedding planner Preston Bailey says couples can create memorable weddings by focusing on their own priorities instead of copying social media trends. His approach matters because he believes personal choices and thoughtful entertainment can make celebrations distinctive at any budget.
Bailey has planned events for Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, and India’s Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, whose 2024 wedding had 14,000 guests. He advises setting a clear tone, building the evening gradually with small surprises, and investing in table centrepieces; orchids can last three to six months, while candles offer a simpler altar option.
In short
- Preston Bailey warns that copied wedding trends can lose their meaning.
- He says small surprises can keep guests engaged throughout an event.
- Personal priorities and thoughtful centrepieces matter more than lavish spending.
