A little daydreaming about your fantasy wedding never hurt anyone. That's what Who What Wear's Kristen Nichols and Eliza Huber did in Wholesale Replica Bag episode of Who What Wear With Hillary Kerr.

Nichols and Huber have already created the ultimate guide for 2023 brides, which includes everything from wedding dress trends to how couples design their table settings.

Now they're taking those insights and applying them to the dream weddings they'd plan if money was no object. For Nichols, that includes focusing on the classics. A little archival runway Chanel moment, perhaps? Huber has her eye on a Prada S/S 22 shift dress that she can't get off her mind.

Let's say your wedding is this summer, and there's no budget. There's no spending limit. What is the ultimate wedding setting and head-to-toe bridal look that aligns with your personal style? Because I'm generous, I will allow you to choose one key piece of wedding decor as well.

Eliza Huber: I always said that if I got married, I'd want it to be pretty small. Maybe 10 to 15 people. Usually, when people ask, I always say I'd have my post-vows dinner at Lucien, which is in the East Village. It was my first favorite restaurant when I moved to New York. Because it's so small, you could really take over the whole place.

If I had no budget, I would pick Balthazar. I would take over the whole place, which is quite large. I lived in Soho for a long time and used to go at least once a week and sit at the bar and get a cup of soup or something small. It's just a really amazing vibe inside.

Outfit-wise, I've been obsessed with Prada's S/S 22 collection since it debuted. There are two looks that I always thought would be just incredible wedding looks.

They're not very traditional—and neither are white on the runway—but I've seen white takes on similar dresses from Prada. I think if I had no budget, I could get it in white. It is looks 36 and 37, and it's basically a high-neck shift minidress made of satin. One is baby pink, and one is a soft mint green. It has this long train, so it's kind of gives bridal anyway.

That with the shoes that were styled with it on the runway in white. For my decor item, I would have a giant lemon tart as my wedding cake.

[Nichols], what about you? What's your fantasy wedding?

Nichols: I had to think about it for a little bit when you asked, but it was fun to imagine. I think in terms of setting, I haven't really nailed that down. I love the idea of a destination—regardless of how far or close that might be. I feel like my friends and family live in so many places, so it would be fun to bring them somewhere special that I could return to again and relive the day. I love places that have a blend of history and also feel updated and modern. One place that comes to mind is Mezzatorre in Ischia. I feel like that feels like a really special place.

My style is a little more on the classic end of the spectrum. I think Chanel is the ultimate dream in my realm. Whether that means a vintage archival runway look, so digging something like that from the archives would be incredible.

It could also translate to a really beautiful tweed piece for a pre-wedding look, even if it's not the actual wedding day item. I think some pieces from Chanel will probably be in my fantasy wedding.

I also love this idea of a really special jewelry piece that carries some sentimental weight that you can wear on your wedding day and beyond the wedding day.

Whether that's a watch with a special engraving that only you can see when you take it off or your something blue item. I think that would be a really special piece to wear as well.

In terms of decor, I have a few ideas. My first is I love florals. There's this really beautiful florist based in Paris called Castor Fleuriste. They actually work with a lot of fashion brands. But they have this really artful but still classic and beautiful take on florals that feels really special and very different [compared to] a lot of what we're seeing out there in the floral world.

Another idea I love is taking something simple but executing it in a really unexpected and elevated way. The Row had their runway show in Paris last year. I took 1000 screenshots of guests arriving because there were waiters carrying these beautiful silver platters with just very ripe figs and fresh green juices. It was just the most simple but elegant idea.

I think adding elements like that would make a wedding feel really cool. It's that special unexpected detail that guests remember for years and years later.
