Tip of the Day: Invest in wedding planning insurance from the very beginning says Kawania Wooten of Howerton+Wooten Events. "It may feel like an unnecessary expense, but it is worth every penny if you find that you need it," she says. "As a planner, I have seen the most carefully made wedding plans get derailed because of unexpected incidents such as theft, vendor/venue closings, hurricanes, government shutdowns and severe illness. Your professional wedding planner will lead to charge to develop a Plan B, but your wedding insurance will pay for that Plan B."

Tip of the Day: Keep in mind what you'll be wearing while getting ready for your wedding day, especially if you'll be having a photographer there to capture the moments. "A bridal robe ensures you're ready to be papped when your photographer arrives bright and early and it's also easy to change into your dress without ruining your hair and makeup," says Rebecca Lau Marsh of White Runway. "Sweaters or t-shirts are a no-no as it can ruin your hair and makeup when you change."

Tip of the Day: While it might be nerve-wracking at first, don't be afraid to ask your bridesmaids for help during the wedding planning process. "Assume that you are loved and that your loved ones want to be a part of your big day and ask for their assistance," says relationship expert Tara Caffelle. "Not only will it take the pressure off of you, asking for help will also help your family and friends to feel included."
