Hey! I recently got married (October 20) and the best advice I can give you is to check out things online. The Knot (
http://www.theknot.com) and Ultimate Wedding (
http://www.ultimatewedding.com) are great resources! Also, if you're interested, there is this great message board of brides that I used (and still use today...just cause the girls are so great, I love chatting with them) at
http://www.frugalbride.com . The site is a Canadian brides site..but there are about 20 or so Americans who just came onto the site to get/share ideas! That's where I got my ideas for a lot of wedding things!
I'd agree with not skimping on a photographer (esp. since you said you're not getting a videographer). Personally I'd also put a vote in for thinking about a videographer....or even having a friend videotape it or something! My wedding video is the greatest thing I have.....it shows things I missed, things that pictures never would have caught....like how I looked every second during the vows. I will treasure it always! Actually, if you'd like I have my wedding video trailer (a 5 min piece) online and if you PM me, I can send you the link!
Feel free to PM/email me anytime with wedding questions, I'd love to help!!!
And good luck with your wedding planning....it's a lot of fun!!!!!
