Tip of the Day: "Make sure you have a packed dance floor at your reception by creating a floor plan and atmosphere that prioritizes dancing.

Lighting can also help to create a festive party atmosphere.

Tip of the Day: "No one knows what you didn’t do or wasn't able to afford for your wedding. For example, no one is going to receive the invitation in the mail and call you to find out why you didn’t splurge for custom postage or add the extra envelope liner. Focus on your priorities," says Danielle Couick from Magnolia Bluebird design & events.

Even if you don't think your future daughters will wear your dress someday, it's a good idea to get it cleaned soon rather than later to deal with any stains and smells. When you pull it out of your closet in the future, you want to remember how pretty you felt in it, not those 5-year-old champagne and sweat stains.
