Warm Weather Wedding Cake Tip:
Avoid certain frostings for outdoor weddings, such as butter cream and whipped cream. Also keep these types of cakes away from sunny windows. Fondant is recommended for warm weather weddings as it does well in the heat and high humidity.

Wedding Day Makeup Tip:
Schedule a consultation and a complete makeup application with your makeup artist before your wedding day. You can plan it for the rehearsal dinner, a romantic evening out alone with your groom, or a luncheon with all the bridesmaids. A lot of time and thought goes into choosing your dress, ring, flowers, and hairstyle. Your wedding day makeup is just as important!

A limo isn't the only way to travel on your wedding day...there might be some unique alternatives available to you. Try renting an antique automobile or a flashy sports car for the bride and groom and a limo for the rest of the wedding party. Just check with the local car rental agencies for availability and pricing, or do an internet search on antique or classic vehicle and car rentals along with the city where your wedding will be held.

Wedding Registry Tips: Be sure to Register 6 to 8 months before the wedding, so that your list will be in place before any parties or shower takes place. The list will usually be maintained for at least one year after your wedding date. Choose a company with a reputation for excellent quality, customer service and accessibility, with items in price ranges for all budgets.

The wedding music you choose will set the tone for your wedding, so it is very important that you select your entertainment carefully. You may find that you require two sets of performers, one for the ceremony and another for the reception. These choices may include a live band, disk jockey, solo singer, piano/organ, harpist any combination of those. Some wedding bands usually have audition nights at which you can hear them in person, or will supply an audio or videotape, upon request, and Bridal shows sometimes showcase bands, djs, and other wedding musicians.

Budget Wedding Tip: A good time to shop for bridesmaids dresses is during prom season and after New Years. Be open to options other than a wedding shop for your bridesmaid dresses, as prices might be a bit cheaper elsewhere.

Wedding Day Hairstyle Tips for the Bride:

• Experiment with hairstyles before making your final choice, however, make your decision before you pick out your veil and headpiece. Once you've made your decision, stick to it!
• Hair should be trimmed with a color touch up two weeks before the wedding.
• Choose a style that will be easy to maintain and will not get get blown out of place by the wind in case of an outdoor wedding.

Destination Wedding Tip: Don't be upset if some of your closest friends or relatives are not able to attend your destination wedding. Travel fees for airfare, hotels, and rental cars can really add up, and there is a chance not everyone will find it within their budget.

Budget Wedding Tip: Serving beer, wine and one select cocktail of choice at your wedding reception can be a moneysaving substitute to having a full bar.

Budget Wedding Tip: Consider having your wedding on a Friday or Sunday, rather than a traditional Saturday, for which reception halls and wedding event centers usually charge the premium amount. This one change alone might save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

With a destination wedding, send your save-the-date cards off as early as possible, preferably at least eight months in advance. Because this is a destination wedding, some of your guests may integrate it with their family vacation. Give them time to shop for the best airfares and fit the trip into their budget.

Instead of individual bachelor and bachelorette parties, host a combined his and her "thank you" event for all your wedding attendants. This can be a wonderful way to introduce the wedding party to one another, create a festive atmosphere, and provide an increased comfort level with the development of new friendships prior to your wedding day.

Consider the climate of your destination wedding location when choosing your wedding dress. Don't choose a dress made of material that is guaranteed to make you sweat in the tropical humidity, especially if your wedding will take place outdoors or on the beach.

For those of you planning a wedding on a budget, use more greenery than blooms in your church arrangements or garlands on archways and trellises. Ferns and vines are usually inexpensive and sometimes even free!
