What Would the Countess Do?: Tasteful Celebrations; Getting Inked Up

When it comes to etiquette, manners and overall good behavior, even celebrities need help navigating the rough waters of stardom! It’s a good thing Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York is joining forces with OK! to school them on the right thing to do! In a rough situation, we just ask, “What Would the Countess Do?” This week the Countess discusses throwing a large, tasteful event, and the tattoos spreading across celebrity skins everywhere!

How do you keep a celebrity event like a wedding tasteful — even if you want it to be a big, grand event, like Kim Kardashian's wedding will surely be?

Large, celebrity filled weddings can be just as tasteful as small, intimate ones if care goes into the planning. The venue is key and it is better to use a space that just fits everyone, rather than one that has too much open space. Choose tasteful colors that are appropriate for the season and use warm lighting. Music is key to setting the right atmosphere. Centerpieces should be low enough so that guests can see each other across the table. Have an appetizer waiting for guests at the table and keep the champagne flowing.
