Tip of the Day: Discuss your hard budget with your significant other before beginning the wedding planning process. While you've probably dreamed of this day forever, you should create a realistic budget upfront. "You don’t need a lot of money to get married, it’s all in how you plan and the choices you make," says Ngoc Nguyen Lay of Skybox Event Productions. "What you do need a lot of is communication with your future spouse about what your budget it from the beginning; before you pick a place before you pick a date. It needs to be a decision you make as soon as you’re out of the fog of your engagement so that you both can start your life together in one accord."

Tip of the Day: Take time to talk with your wedding band before the big day to discuss what type of songs you and your guests will enjoy. "Have your band strategically choose genres throughout the night that will get different crowds up and dancing at various points in the evening," says Brian Pincus of Bob Gail Music. "That way once the band goes into new music sets, the whole crowd will have already been won over."

Tip of the Day: Having trouble deciding on what style necklace to go for on your big day? Lee Birch of bespoke Jewelry brand Veritas Gifts says, “always take into consideration the style of dress and hairstyle chosen for the day. You want to choose a subtle piece that complements the whole look rather than taking over, like delicate yet beautifully crafted silver chain necklace with a simple diamanté or pearl in the Centre – this way it is adding a touch of glamour without overdressing the décolletage.”
