Tip of the Day: If your bridesmaids all live far from one another, consider hiring a wedding coordinator to help them plan the bridal shower and bachelorette party. Wedding planners know the best locations and vendors in a given region, so they'll find the best ones for your budget and handle all of the back-and-forth communication. Can't afford one? Create a group Pinterest board to share all of your ideas and use Skype for some face-to-face time!

Plus, check out what your bridesmaids are really thinking.

Tip of the Day: If you're throwing a small wedding, consider using a faux bottom for the bottom two tiers of the wedding cake. If you're having a bigger wedding, choose a smaller version of your dream wedding cake. Then, get a regular sheet cake (in the same flavor) that can be cut in the back and served to guests. They'll never tell the difference!
