Tip of the Day: In regards to a venue's preferred vendor list, always make sure to do your own research as well! "A venue's preferred vendor list can be compiled based on merit and experience, but it also can be more of a marketing partnership, meaning that vendor has paid to be a part of that list," says Danielle Aspromatis owner of d'Luxe Events.

Tip of the Day: If you're registering for wine glasses, add universal options to your cart first. "They’re perfect for a beautiful tablescape when you don’t know what you’re serving or to limit the number of glasses to wash," says Jacki Strum, founder of ThirstyNest. "My favorites are these Fusion Air Universal Wine Glasses that are super gorgeous and delicate and come with a 10-year warranty in case they break!"

Tip of the Day: Wedding photography does well in the stock photography business, so consider contacting a local stock photographer to capture your real wedding. "Find a local stock photographer and offer him or her a signed model release in exchange for the photos," says Serban Enache, Dreamstime.com's CEO. "They would be able to sell the photos on stock photo websites to be used for ads, magazine, or digital articles, while you will get the images for your personal use."

Tip of the Day: Take bridal portraits a few weeks before your big day to use as a complete trial run for the wedding. "It's a great opportunity to test your full ensemble before the wedding day and take photos that are dedicated to capturing your bridal glow," says Joshua and Kariss, the owners and head photographers at Pharris Photography. "And, you have time to make changes if something doesn't turn out how you'd like, such as your hair or makeup."
