Summary
Wedding season is here and top-rated events producers Marcy Blum and Melissa Sullivan weigh in on etiquette, trends and curious requests they’ve run into while on the job at some of the jaw-dropping weddings covered by Vogue.
When it comes to speeches, Blum has strong feelings: “If it were up to me, never.”
Blum and Sullivan sit down with Chloe Malle to take us behind the scenes and reveal what it really takes to get Snoop Dogg to perform at your reception.

Plus, Nicole Phelps joins for headlines to talk about Henry Zankov's appointment as Artistic Director at Diane Von Furstenberg, the Knicks' big win, Naomi Osaka's court side serve, and Chloe's favorite film of the year so far.
