The Knot LIVE Season 5/Episode 1: Wedding Fashion Trends for 2012, Hot Tips from Event Designer Ed Libby and Gorgeous White Wedding Cakes

This week on The Knot Live, we kicked off our fifth season with the best wedding tips from celebrity event designer Ed Libby (he has worked with Kelsey Grammar and Kimora Lee Simmons!). The Knot's fashion editor Jennie Ma took us through the hottest bridal fashion trends for 2012 -- and they were hot! Think slits, low-cut backs and plenty of sparkle. Then The Knot's site editor Anja Winikka told us how to pull of a white wedding cake in any style. We finished this premiere with a Knottie of the Week -- The Knot's own Stephanie Fraiman, and a wedding etiquette panel.
