Tip of the Day: A popular trend now is to get eyelash extensions, which are individually bonded with your natural lashes (much like hair extensions). But master lash guru Suzette Zuena, owner of Lash House Beauty Boutique, recommends that you have these applied at least two weeks before your wedding in case you have an allergic reaction to the adhesive and to ensure that they're comfortable for you.

If you choose the more traditional false eyelashes, opt for individual pieces rather than strips to withstand a torrent of joyful tears on an emotional day.

Tip of the Day: Split up your honeymoon stay. We’ve all been there — you start browsing photos of the hottest hotel in your destination of choice, "just for fun."

“Let’s say you want to spend six nights in Bora Bora. Some couples get so intent on having the glamour of an over-water bungalow, but you don’t need to have it for the entire stay,” says Peggy Knipp, a honeymoon expert and the Senior Travel Specialist at Honeymoons Galore travel agency. Knipp recommends bunking up in a less-expensive beach villa and just spending the last two nights over the water.
