How can I make my bridal portraits feel unexpected? I like to be very free and flexible when shooting. To capture a more unique photograph, ask your photographer to mix up the camera position or angle. Also, putting wedding dresses in nonwedding situations (like we did in this issue’s fashion feature on the streets of New York) helps a shot feel a bit edgier and less “bridal.” @tomcorbettnyc

I’m originally from South Korea where buttercream flowers are very popular. I love how buttercream allows you to create elaborate details and texture, while still tasting delicious, so I began experimenting and making my own designs. Sugar and fondant cakes have been the status quo for so long, and I’m trying to broaden what’s possible when it comes to how cakes look and taste. It’s more than a trend—it’s a wider creative canvas. @riceandflower

What’s your favorite way to incorporate personalized details into weddings? Interesting installations can take personalization to the next level, like an escort card display where each card is a portrait of the guest, or a photo booth vignette that incorporates family pictures. Installations give me the freedom to create something truly memorable and one of a kind for my couples. @rocketscience.events

Have you seen any original ideas in weddings? I love how couples are creatively including their pets in their weddings. While sometimes it’s logistically difficult to have your furry friend physically at the wedding, brides and grooms are featuring their dogs and cats in different ways, like save-the-dates, props for their photo booth and cookie favors (like our Dream Wedding couple did). @mbouse01
