Tip of the Day: Autumn is a popular time to shoot engagement photos. A big trend is going casual in what you're wearing and setting a tone that captures your love for this glorious season — kicking back, getting cozy, wrapping yourselves in a warm blanket and cuddling. If that's your couple style, bring that into your engagement photos.

Tip of the Day: Send a test invite to yourself before you mail all of your invitations! "Let's face it — the Post Office isn't always so careful when handling mail," says Nichole Rocero of Nic.Roc. Designs.
"If your invitation comes back bent out of shape, consider housing your invitation inside of a pocket holder, card stock envelopes, or a boxed mailer," she says. If you're not happy with the way your invite looks, she suggests adding an envelope liner, which adds character.
Also, keep in mind that cotton envelopes tend to pick up more debris and dirt, so you may want to consider using metallic envelopes, instead.

Tip of the Day: One of the main draws of the internet and social media for brides-to-be is the mind-boggling number of creative ideas it puts at their fingertips. To avoid becoming overwhelmed, wedding planner Shawn Rabideau suggests approaching sites like Pinterest and Instagram in a methodical way.
First, ask yourself, What do I like about this particular image? The answer will help you pinpoint your likes and dislikes, so that you can better articulate your wishes to, say, the caterer or invitation designer. As you gather more images, look for common threads — color, texture, mood — to help you stay on stylistic track. Next, categorize. Set up separate boards, albums, and inspiration folders for things like your tabletop decorations, wedding-party attire or day-of makeup looks. Finally, be selective about whom you share these ideas with or invite to follow your boards. "Decide early on whose opinion matters to you," says Rabideau.

Tip of the Day: Autumn has arrived! If you're throwing a fall wedding, consider serving heartier menu items like lobster or corn bisque, mini pot pies or small cups of tasty beef stew and braised short ribs at your cocktail hour. Dinner menus might include popular entrée options like rack of lamb or Cornish hen. Selecting seasonal fare is not only appealing to guests, but may also help you save on your budget as well.
