Tip of the Day: Avoid inviting anyone to your bridal shower who isn't invited to the wedding. This prevents any confusion among guests and ensures no one feels left out during your wedding events. The only exception? Your office shower. It's understood that the bride isn't always able to invite all of her co-workers to the wedding so there's no miscommunication.

Tip of the Day: Finalize your dress accessory details, like shoes, jewelry, and that something blue, about four to five months in advance says Meha Bhargava, founder of Styl Inc. It's always a good idea to give yourself a little extra time to focus on other wedding aspects. " And, avoid waiting until the last moment so you don't end up buying anything and everything in a rush," she says. In the final days, you won't have to stress about anything other than just getting married.

Tip of the Day: For a backyard wedding venue or a vintage feel, find unique home items to use as décor. "Details like mismatched plates, teacups, and glasses add a quirky vintage touch, and it can be fun poking through secondhand shops to find old plates for your collection," Joanna Tovia, editor and writer at Houzz. Bonus: you can keep those items and use them in your home after the wedding day!

Tip of the Day: If you're considering having a cosmetic procedure done before your wedding day, plan it with as much carefulness as you are planning the big day says Dr. Stafford Broumand of 740 Park Plastic Surgery. "Time your procedures so that any potential swelling or bruising goes down and your new appearance has time to settle," he says. And, always make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.
