Tip of the Day: "While online browsing, use Pinterest or another bookmarking service to collect the dresses you are immediately attracted to — you may be torn between three or four styles that you like equally. Then, send that to your bridal stylist at the salon prior to your appointment. It will help smaller more personalized boutique owners and stylists pre-select dresses they feel you will like best, and will make the shopping experience more enjoyable," says Malinda Macari from Your Dream Bridal.

Tip of the Day: Cut down on floral costs by asking your florist to suggest fabulous fillers. For example, bear grass has a striking architectural look and costs 60 to 70% less than some other greenery. When it comes to baby's breath, it may not be as cheap as you would think: A bunch may only cost $6, but for an impressive arrangement, you'll need a lot of it, which will add up.
Here are some more examples of beautiful fillers:
