Tip of the Day: Before you start your wedding planning, sit down with your fiance to create a thorough wedding budget says Kawania Wooten of Howerton+Wooten Events. "Of course, the budget should include your typical wedding expenses such as attire, flowers, catering, music, beauty, honeymoon, etc. But, don't forget the ancillary expenses such as taxes, delivery charges, service charges, gratuities, alterations, additional staffing, corkage fees, cake cutting fees, and vendor meals."

Tip of the Day: If you're seeking a whiter smile before your big day, look into the best teeth whitening options early on. "There are in-office whitening procedures, over-the-counter whitening products, and take-home products that can be purchased from the dentist," says Nancy C. Aft, DDS at ProDent NY. "I recommend starting with over-the-counter whitening strips, ie Crest Whitening Strips. and then consider professional treatments," she says. "Any procedure that you choose, you should start at least one to two months prior to the wedding for optimal results and be sure to follow the directions! Beware, some of these products can make your teeth sensitive, so use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth until the whitening is complete."
