Tip of the Day: While it's encouraged to take inspiration from other weddings and Pinterest, always go with a theme that's personal to you as a couple. "People always ask us what our favorite theme, wedding colors, and décor are. Hands down, the only 'theme' we suggest is whatever resonates best with the couple. We want this wedding to scream your name and have guests walk away saying, ‘that was SO them!’ Personalize details, big and small, subtle and dramatic. You want your wedding to be one of a kind, and the only way to accomplish that is to make it be a celebration of the two of you," says Vikki Marsee from All You Need is Love Events.

Tip of the Day: Add a charming design element to your cake by placing it on a stand. "You will want to select a stand that compliments your wedding cake, décor and the overall feel of your wedding. It can even be something unique such as a hanging stand, a floating glass stand, a bird bath, or even displayed on the back of an antique truck," says Carissa Hobbs from Cakes By Carissa.

Tip of the Day: When completing your gift registry, think beyond the household essentials. If you and your fiancé are wine connoisseurs, add some bottles of wine that you wouldn't treat yourself to through a wine and spirits registry. Jacki Strum, founder of ThirstyNest says, "I always recommend registering for a mix of both special age-worthy wines and everyday options. You want bottles you can open and savor in the future and something to pop open with weeknight take-out and Netflix."

Tip of the day: Can't decide on the exact color you want your bridesmaid dresses in? It used to be a logistical nightmare to guarantee that the entire order was from the same dye lot, but nowadays color variation is popular. Stick with the same color scheme, but work in a few different shades.
