Tip of the Day: "While online browsing, use Pinterest or another bookmarking service to collect the dresses you are immediately attracted to — you may be torn between three or four styles that you like equally. Then, send that to your bridal stylist at the salon prior to your appointment. It will help smaller more personalized boutique owners and stylists pre-select dresses they feel you will like best, and will make the shopping experience more enjoyable," says Malinda Macari from Your Dream Bridal.

Tip of the Day: One easy way to save on photography is to go with a smaller photo package up front with the potential to upgrade after the wedding, such as ordering your DVD later. Or put aside some of your wedding gift money to buy prints.

Also, if you're having a small wedding, you might only need one photographer. Cutting a second and third shooter from the list can save at least 20 percent.

Tip of the Day: Cut down on floral costs by asking your florist to suggest fabulous fillers. For example, bear grass has a striking architectural look and costs 60 to 70% less than some other greenery. When it comes to baby's breath, it may not be as cheap as you would think: A bunch may only cost $6, but for an impressive arrangement, you'll need a lot of it, which will add up.

Here are some more examples of beautiful fillers:

Tip of the Day: If your pet will play a role in your wedding celebration, hire a pet sitter to be responsible for bringing them to the ceremony, taking him home after, or watching him during the reception. That way, you won't need to worry aboutwho’s feeding the dog (or keeping him away from the chocolate).
