Forget a 3-tiered cake! The centerpiece of this reception is a real-life mermaid, well…sort of. For Season 5’s Mermaid Bride wedding, David Tutera merged the bride’s passion for aquatic princesses with the groom’s love of the 1940s. The result: A retro, pinup girl-inspired mermaid to really flip your fins over.
