David Tutera Partners With Jo-Ann for Wedding Accessories Line

David Tutera Joann Down the Aisle in Style


David Tutera, a celebrity wedding planner, has teamed up with Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores to create Down the Aisle in Style, a line of wedding accessories. Brides can use the accessories and embellishments to create wedding attire, decor and favors. The products also include tips, called Tutera Tips, to assist brides with creative ideas.

David Tutera said, "I'm excited to create a line of wedding products that do not substitute affordability for elegance. Not every bride can afford to hire a personal wedding planner to design her big day; and so many brides enjoy a hands-on approach to their wedding preparations. We're thrilled to provide an alternative to those who still refuse to settle for anything but perfection on a day they have been dreaming of for years."

Tutera's collection is available on Joann.com and at Jo-Ann stores.
