Combining Parisian elegance with French romance, celebrity wedding-dress designer Delphine Manivet divulges her step-by-step tips for planning the ultimate, chic wedding day.

Delphine Manivet has mastered the art of chic, unforgettable weddings. Two decades ago, as a young designer and bride-to-be in search of the perfect white gown, she found only fussy dresses that didn't suit her style. In response, she designed her own, creating a sensation and launching her career as a designer. Delphine's inspiration is the quintessential Parisienne-with elegance, style, and a je ne sais quoi mix of laid-back chic that reflects her "simple, spectacular, sensual" mantra.
