Tip of the Day: If you’ll marry in a house of worship, ask if there are any rules you should know about in advance, especially with regard to your wedding dress and décor. Some churches have strict policies about bare shoulders, aisle runners, and what guests are allowed to toss after the ceremony. Avoid a wedding disaster with a simple phone call before you purchase anything!

Tip of the Day: When you’re getting your bridal portraits taken, pretend that you have a wire attached to the top of your head, gently pulling it upward. This will help you stand straighter. Also, lift your chin slightly and pull your shoulders back. The result is a longer, leaner, and more beautiful you in all of your stunning bridal portraits. And keep this tip in mind during the actual wedding reception as well. Great posture always looks awesome both in-person and in photos!

Tip of the Day: Cultural wedding elements aren’t just found in music and ceremony rituals. One fun way to honor your heritage is to serve a signature cultural dessert at your Viennese Hour. Include an accompanying sign written in your culture's language and have an attendant there to answer guests' questions as they're being served.
