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.

White Wedding Cakes
Your wedding cake can be your main dessert, but it’ll also be a part of your wedding photos for years to come, so you’ll want it to look as good as it tastes. Here to take us through some amazing white wedding cakes was our site editor, Anja.
