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.

Bonus: you can keep those items and use them in your home after the wedding day!
