Tip of the Day: Add a charming design element to your cake by placing it on a stand. "You will want to select a stand that compliments your wedding cake, décor and the overall feel of your wedding. It can even be something unique such as a hanging stand, a floating glass stand, a bird bath, or even displayed on the back of an antique truck," says Carissa Hobbs from Cakes By Carissa.

Tip of the Day: When completing your gift registry, think beyond the household essentials. If you and your fiancé are wine connoisseurs, add some bottles of wine that you wouldn't treat yourself to through a wine and spirits registry. Jacki Strum, founder of ThirstyNest says, "I always recommend registering for a mix of both special age-worthy wines and everyday options. You want bottles you can open and savor in the future and something to pop open with weeknight take-out and Netflix."

Tip of the Day: Find a band for your wedding day who not only has great taste in music but will also pay attention to the crowd. Brian Pincus of Bob Gail Music says, "it's not much help if the band is great, but they ignore advance requests and then play a bunch of songs that the couple doesn't enjoy." Sit down and go over styles of music you appreciate and what you'd like to avoid so the band can build a list around that.
