There are a lot of sources for managing your finances while planning the wedding you want. But we still really like the Wedding Survival Guide by CBS MoneyWatch. The feature "9 Tricks to Trim Wedding Costs" is especially full of good, solid advice. Hope this helps some ladies who, like a lot of us, are managing our champagne tastes on beerin style!

Keep your eye on world-renowned wedding designer Diann Valentine. She's giving out great planning tips on her website and keeping the industry abreast of upcoming trends. But she is also launching her new line of wedding invitations and save-the-dates on WeddingPaperDivas.com. Take a look.
