Tip of the Day: As part of the big day planning, don't forget that your smile is just as important as the makeup. "Start by looking at your smile in recent photos to decide if you would like to see an improvement for your wedding photos, then make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible," says Nancy C. Aft, DDS of ProDent NY. From there, your dentist can help you achieve the perfect smile, from something as easy as using over-the-counter whitening strips to more involved processes, like straightening your teeth with braces or Invisalign, or getting veneers.

Tip of the Day: Ask your wedding coordinator or maid of honor to pull you and your new spouse away from the reception for a few minutes to take everything in. "Use this time to stand back and behold the community of love you've created together," says Cat Greenleaf, owner of The Catskill Mountain House. "As a couple, these reflections will be the ones you remember the longest when looking back at your big day."

Tip of the Day: Discuss your hard budget with your significant other before beginning the wedding planning process. While you've probably dreamed of this day forever, you should create a realistic budget upfront. "You don’t need a lot of money to get married, it’s all in how you plan and the choices you make," says Ngoc Nguyen Lay of Skybox Event Productions. "What you do need a lot of is communication with your future spouse about what your budget it from the beginning; before you pick a place before you pick a date. It needs to be a decision you make as soon as you’re out of the fog of your engagement so that you both can start your life together in one accord."

Tip of the Day: Take time to talk with your wedding band before the big day to discuss what type of songs you and your guests will enjoy. "Have your band strategically choose genres throughout the night that will get different crowds up and dancing at various points in the evening," says Brian Pincus of Bob Gail Music. "That way once the band goes into new music sets, the whole crowd will have already been won over."
