Tip of the Day: Before deciding on a resort to have your destination wedding at, make a list of important wants and needs for you and your guests. Think: Do they accept wedding insurance? Offer transportation for everyone flying in? Have a policy in the case of bad weather? Allow the use of outside vendors? Verify all of the details in writing before signing on the dotted line.

Tip of the Day: In the midst of hectic wedding planning, remember to practice self and relationship care. "You can't marry anyone if you're exhausted or sick, or if you're so disconnected from your partner that you are strangers on the big day," says Tara Caffelle, writer and coach for couples. "Take some time out to rest and recover as you go, and you’ll be able to come back rejuvenated and connected," she says. Whether that's drawing a bath once a week, hosting date night, or devoting an entire day to non-wedding planning tasks, find what works best for you as a couple.

Tip of the Day: Always try to secure your venue before completing any other wedding tasks so that you can make a realistic budget around it. "After you've secured your venue, you'll have a better idea of what else you'll need; some venues have in-house audio visual, lighting, staging, dance floors etc; some even come with tables and chairs," says Sara Fried, Owner of Fête Nashville.
