Tip of the day: Can't decide on the exact color you want your bridesmaid dresses in? It used to be a logistical nightmare to guarantee that the entire order was from the same dye lot, but nowadays color variation is popular. Stick with the same color scheme, but work in a few different shades.

Tip of the Day: Find a band for your wedding day who not only has great taste in music but will also pay attention to the crowd. Brian Pincus of Bob Gail Music says, "it's not much help if the band is great, but they ignore advance requests and then play a bunch of songs that the couple doesn't enjoy." Sit down and go over styles of music you appreciate and what you'd like to avoid so the band can build a list around that.

Tip of the day: Make sure you schedule time to ease pre-ceremony jitters!

For more than 80 years, Alfred Angelo has been helping brides and bridesmaids find their dream dresses, but as of yesterday, the retailer quietly shut down all of their stores. Imagine purchasing your dress for an upcoming wedding and now not knowing if you'll ever receive the gown you already paid for. Or, heading to the bridal salon to pick up your gown to find it shut down with no notice. Unfortunately, that seems to be the reality for brides and bridesmaids across the country.
