David Tutera Makes DIY Easy With New Michaels Partnership
Entertaining expert David Tutera has a brand new line for DIY lovers that allows them to make their own flowers for any special occasion, including birthdays and weddings. Tutera sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about creating the line and what he hopes people get from the project.
Tutera also talks about his shoe line that is exclusively for special occasions, saying the shoes are perfect for brides on their big day since they are shoes "that should be seen." The entertaining expert, who has planned numerous celebrity weddings, gave his take on the Royal Wedding next year, including what he thinks Meghan Markel will wear on the big day.
As a style expert, Tutera is well versed in all things fashion and he says he knew ultra violet with the Pantone color of the year in 2018 before it was even announced. Tutera's DIY Sizzix line is exclusively available at Michaels.
