Wedding Tips From The Pros
Break With Convention
Mix the sexes. Consider a "Best Woman," or a "Man of Honor," and/or throw a coed bachelor/bachelorette/shower.

All That Jazz
If you find a wedding gown that's too simple for your taste, but that you really like, find a seamstess who will add some trimmings in lace or a color.

Preserving Your Wedding Cake
It's easy if done correctly. Wrap the top layer really well in plastic wrap. Then re-cover in aluminum foil. Don't use foil only, because it leaves a mettalic taste. Store the cake in the back of your freezer where temperature remains constant.

Be Sure To Thank Parents
No wedding is complete without thank you's. Floral arrangements in your parents' hotel rooms or at their homes, the day before the wedding, is a lovely way to say, "You're really special to us!" Make sure to include a personal note.
