Tip of the Day: If you're having calligraphy pieces made for your paper goods, make sure to check with the company about how long the materials will take to complete. According to Taryn Sutherland from Twinkle and Toast, it takes about two to three weeks to complete the calligraphy for about 100 invitations. "Often brides contact me once they are ready to send out that week, instead of planning for enough time to get them done," she says.

Tip of the Day: If you're having trouble finding your dream wedding gown, take a step back and avoid getting frustrated. Choose a reputable retailer and find a bridal consultant who makes you feel comfortable. Bring only a select few loved ones to your appointment and be open to trying on styles and silhouettes you may have never considered before. And, never feel pressured to buy something at your first appointment or cry tears of joy — every bride's experience is unique!
