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:

How to Invite Your B-List Wedding Guests Without Being Rude

Trying to get the number of wedding guests absolutely right is a feat in and of itself. While most weddings have up to 85% of guests RSVPing “yes,” depending on your date and location, that number can certainly fluctuate. Having a B-list is a good way to ensure that your celebration is filled with family and friends, but it can be a little dicey if B-listers realize they weren’t first picks. Here are five tips for keeping things friendly when planning your B-list.

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).

Tip of the Day: Incorporate a unity ritual into your wedding ceremony to make it even more meaningful. For example, this couple poured salt — instead of sand, which is more commonly used — into a glass vessel to represent their union coming together. Salt carries a lot of symbolism, from "making sure your life always has flavor" to "softening the tough parts of life" and other positive wishes for your happy life together.
