Today’s tip comes from Melissa Oretta, owner of All Dolled Up Beauty + Bridal:

Remember: You Still Get Your Marry Your Love

“Keep your eye on the most important prize—you are going to be marrying your best friend! Nothing can stop that! I think it’s also important that brides who are planning don’t put it on hold because right now things are changing at what feels like every minute. If you have your eye on a specific vendor you really want to be a part of your big day, reach out to them and lock them in!”
