Tip of the Day: Find a band for your wedding day who not only has great taste in music but will also pay attention to the crowd. Brian Pincus of Bob Gail Music says, "it's not much help if the band is great, but they ignore advance requests and then play a bunch of songs that the couple doesn't enjoy." Sit down and go over styles of music you appreciate and what you'd like to avoid so the band can build a list around that.

Alfred Angelo Closes Doors, David's Bridal Steps Up
For more than 80 years, Alfred Angelo has been helping brides and bridesmaids find their dream dresses, but as of yesterday, the retailer quietly shut down all of their stores. Imagine purchasing your dress for an upcoming wedding and now not knowing if you'll ever receive the gown you already paid for.

Tip of the Day: Don't let the excitement of wedding dress shopping (or loved ones) push you into a gown you don't love. I always remind my brides it's not about designer labels or the latest trends.
