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."
