Tip of the Day: When purchasing a wedding ring or band, always get paperwork that explains the quality of the stones. "It is important for insurance reasons and also for understanding the value of your ring," says Christine Scott of WP Diamonds. "This can simply be a jewelers or insurance appraisal, however, we recommend that all diamonds over 0.5ct be certified by the GIA, the leading authority in gemology."

Tip of the Day: Always set a limit to how many guests you can invite so you never go over the quota allowed at your venue (or break the budget!). While not everyone will attend, don't account for that and end up inviting more than you can have. Janel Grant of Janel Elise Events says, "expect that 10-20% of invited guests will decline to attend so don't underestimate people's desire to be there for your wedding day."

Tip of the Day: Before sending out your batch of invitations, mail a test invite to yourself first to see how it looks. "If your invitation comes back bent out of shape, consider housing your invitation inside of a pocket holder, card stock envelopes, or a boxed mailer," says Nichole Rocero of Nic.Roc. Designs. If you're not happy with the way your invite looks, she suggests adding an envelope liner, which adds character.

Tip of the Day: Use pieces from your ceremony throughout your reception to create a cohesive theme. "Once you pick those style elements that you love, use them in more than one way for a 'pulled together' wedding design," says Aviva Samuels, the creative force behind Kiss the Planner.

Tip of the Day: Find a local photography school or a professional photographer who organizes wedding photography workshops and let them you are interested in offering them the experience of a real wedding day, in exchange for photos. In the modeling photography world, the concept "time for CD" or “TFCD” means the model(s) are working for free and they get to keep the photos.

This is a great option for weddings says Serban Enache, Dreamstime.com's CEO. Usually, the photographers who are going to such workshops are semi-pro enthusiasts who are trying to push the boundaries of their knowledge a little further. By trading time and experience with these photographers, you could get your wedding day photos at a major discount!
