Crystal Schwanke has over a decade of experience in beauty and fashion. Why are you giving advice on Love You Tomorrow? I was the LovetoKnow beauty and fashion editor and writer for their makeup, hair, jewelry, and wedding channels. I also had a beauty column in Fayette Woman Magazine for around six years—this included covering bridal makeup.

I've been interested in jewelry and what different stones represent since childhood when I started collecting beaded bracelets and received a turquoise and sterling silver ring from my grandmother's collection around age 11.

Pause to take mental snapshots and soak up some special moments during the planning process and the wedding day. Sometimes, things will go wrong. It will all be okay in the end. You're making memories and building a happily ever after.
