Tip of the Day: Call your resort ahead of time to utilize romance services during your honeymoon! Many offer butler service, where someone is assigned to take care of everything from helping you check-in to arranging excursions and reservations. As a couple, decide what is most important to you during your stay -- great food, candlelit bubble baths, or activities. Your concierge can customize your service so everything is exactly what you want it to be upon arrival.

Tip of the Day: Make sure to have your floral designer do a mock-up of your centerpieces a month prior to your wedding date. "This way you can fine tune all details and have nothing to worry about on your wedding day," says Caroline Bailly, Owner of L’Atelier Rouge. "I suggest making centerpieces no higher that 12"-14” when going low. If you want to go high, go high. The last thing you want to do is block the view and interaction between your guests."

Tip of the Day: Don't limit yourself to a traditional venue -- you can personalize a non-traditional space to fit your tastes. “Non-traditional venues offer couples a blank canvas, with the freedom to customize details that are most important to them,” say New England wedding planners Francie Dorman and Britt Cole of 42 North Weddings.“Floral and lighting installations, unique bar setups and even entertainment and musical performances can not only be visually stunning but also reflect a couple’s style in a unique way.”

Tip of the Day: Gently exfoliate your skin the night before your wedding and make sure to use an ultra-nourishing exfoliant so your face will be as fresh and radiant as you are! "Be sure you use an ultra-nourishing exfoliant so your face will be as fresh and radiant as you are! Your skin will be free of dead cells and ready to give you that much sought-after bridal glow," says Licensed Esthetician Alana Mitchell, owner of Skincare by Alana.

"After your shower, use a light moisturizer all over your face. Avoid heavy scrubbing when it comes to exfoliating. You don’t want redness or irritation on your big day! Don’t use anything too harsh or abrasive, and use gentle circles with your fingers when exfoliating."

Tip of the Day: If you plan to have personalized goods made for your wedding, make sure to allow for enough time for it to be made. "The obvious perk of this is that they are made just for you," says Sari Mintz of For Your Party. "While this is simply the best in all of its unique glory, it does mean that a longer production time is typically needed to get your fabulous products to your door. Allow plenty of between ordering and your party!"
