Say Yes to the Dress premieres tonight at 9/8c with a special celebrity guest: Kelly Ripa! The morning talk show host steps into the role of Kleinfeld bridal consultant (complete with slicked-back bun and head-to-toe black ensemble) to guide real bride Comora Robertson on how to select a dramatic, show-stopping wedding dress.

"I don't think Kelly has any idea how much really goes into a bridal appointment!" said Randy Fenoli, Fashion Director.

Watch this exclusive sneak peek from tonight's episode:

Ms. Ripa proves that this dream job (who doesn't want to look at bridal gowns all day?) isn't as easy as it looks, even for a starlet who's used to working with stylists. Will she be able to overcome her nerves and deliver the vision that Comora and her tough entourage are looking for? (Love the sassiness of the girl who says the bride-to-be looks like she belongs in a couture photoshoot, puffing on a cig in that dress!) We'll be tuning in and setting our DVRs to find out!

In the meantime, let's chat: If you could pick any celebrity to be your bridal consultant, who would you choose?

While in the grand scheme of things, the color palette I choose will not make or break my wedding, it will be an opportunity to set the scene and determine the “feel” I want my wedding to have. I’ve been debating long and hard about a color scheme that would best suit my big day…and I still don’t have an answer. Feel like helping a girl out?

First, let me tell you a little bit about the venue: it’s got sleek, hardwood floors and exposed plumbing on the ceiling. There are ivory twinkle lights hanging over the ceremony space and strung upon beams in the reception area. I also have the option of shining a color of my choice up along the walls. This space is really conducive to almost any color scheme. 

Here are some more things I’m keeping in mind: I will have white, ivory or black tablecloths and either white or black chairs at the reception. My fiancé Corey also wants to wear a black tux.

These are my top contenders!

Option #1: All shades of purple + slate + ivory
