The bride wore a plumed headdress and a white hoop skirt. The groom wore a pirate-worthy three-corner hat and black vest. Both masked their famous faces as they repeated their vows beneath a purple and green canopy at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach last May. Behind the masks were Heidi Klum and Seal, renewing their marriage for the sixth time in a celebration orchestrated by Mindy Weiss, a Beverly Hills, Calif., celebrity event planner.

Weiss brings her star-studded wedding ideas back to South Florida Feb. 9, appearing at David’s Bridal in Hialeah to sign her latest resource, The Wedding Planner & Organizer (Workman, $28.95). The notebook-style organizer helps couples do her job, from budget setting to cake tasting, to dress fitting to ceremony planning. “Not only does it allow you to keep track of all there is to do…but it becomes a fabulous scrapbook of memories,” she says.

For Weiss, whose wedding clients have included Fergie, Ellen DeGeneres and Gwen Stefani, the planning and organizing is all in a day’s work. We asked her to share a few trends and tips from her weddings, and she willingly obliged.

• For Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s wedding in India, the mix of fabrics and marigold flowers made for a colorful, energetic event. “Color adds energy!” Weiss says.
•  Hilary Duff’s vintage-inspired wedding included a mix of plates, glasses and flower vessels. “I love taking different containers from my collection and mixing them all. It makes for a very unique look.”
• Trends Weiss sees for 2012 include wedding gowns with lace appliqués, very elegant receptions using low lighting and flowing tablecloths.
•  Lavender is still a big color; also look for platinum and tangerine.
•  Bridesmaids dresses will be very high-fashion. “Girls will really want to wear them again. Hand-tied bow ties for the guys are a must!” she says.
