7. If you are interested in a new cut or color to your hair, don't wait until right before your wedding. Make changes during initial consultation with stylist, so that you don't have any unpleasant surprises down road.

8. After you have decided on your style, make sure you walk around with it. Your wedding day will be a long one and you certainly don't want an uncomfortable hair do causing irritation!

9. Your veil length will have some influence on your choice of hairstyle. Normally, veil is longer than hair. It is often secured in back swept hair (for up dos) and it's important to make sure style can hold veil in place.

10. What accessories are you going to wear? You will already (hopefully!) have your headpiece picked out. Flowers, pins, and beads can be used to add an extra sparkle to your hair, and you can and should coordinate them with rest of your jewelry.

It may sound like choosing a bridal hair style is a strenuous activity, but care and preparation is simply to make sure your wedding day is best it can be.

Following this ten point checklist will ensure your wedding day hair style is a delight, not a disaster!

Music With abundance of music available for (legal) download via internet, it’s easier than ever to create your own CDs to play at wedding. It’s great to have creative control over music and it gives you and your future spouse a project you can work on together. A lot of rental halls will have equipment available for you to play your CDs, but you can also rent this equipment fairly inexpensively.

Invitations Save on invitations by only ordering paper invitations for family members. Everyone else, including your friends and extended family, can be invited via email. You may think it’s tacky, but it’s really best way to get an accurate headcount. It’s much easier for people to respond to an email than to have to mail back a response via snail mail. But still use paper invitations for your family, since this is more traditional route. You can get very inexpensive invitations these days through various printing websites.

In addition to recommendations I have listed above, there are many other little ways you can save. For example, going to discount bridal stores for your dress, getting a friend to make wedding cake, etc. - but I have found that trying to micro-manage every little item on your checklist will make you crazy. So just keep it simple with big items that I listed above, and you will have ultimate dream wedding – a beautiful venue, excellent food, plenty of beverages, your favorite music, all on a budget!
