Money Matters
| Q | We're thinking of getting wedding insurance. How do we go about this? |
| A | The Team says: Whilst everyone, of course, hopes that their wedding day will go without a hitch, unfortunately, things can, and do, go wrong. And when they do, it can leave you significantly out of pocket if you don't have insurance! With the average cost of a wedding coming in at around £20,000, it's a major financial commitment that you want to make sure is protected. Wedding insurance covers you for things such as cancellation and rearrangement, failure of wedding services suppliers, personal liability, damage or theft of your ceremonial attire, wedding gifts, wedding rings, photography … and more. Here's a few things to be aware of when you're shopping around for a wedding insurance policy that's perfect for your big day. 1. Getting the right amount of cover. Many wedding insurance plans offer different levels of cover. So, work out the cost of your wedding and then choose the level of cover that covers this planned spend. 2. Don't delay Whilst the wedding to-do list may seem never ending, it's important to not delay when it comes to buying wedding insurance. 3. Cheap isn't always best! Make sure to shop around and compare policies. Look at things like the details of the cover, customer reviews and the reputation of the insurance providers. 4. Double check the cancellation policies Cancellations are never fun, but they unfortunately do happen, so reviewing the cancellation policy is important and ask questions if needed. Protecting your special day is a small price to pay for peace of mind. |

A touch of frost
| Q | We're getting married this winter and want to transform our venue into a winter wonderland. Do you have any suggestions of how we can incorporate our theme into the big day? |
| A | Jane MacDonell says: A really popular idea for a winter wonderland theme is to incorporate lots of white, silver or ice blue for the chair decor and table centrepieces together with lots of tea lights and candles to decorate your wedding venue. If your budget allows, extra finishing touches like charger plates and diamante brooches on your chairs are a really lovely touch. |

Puppy love
| Q | We want our dog at our wedding, but aren't sure how to transport him – or who will care for him on the day. Do you have any suggestions? |
| A | Rebecca Cater says: You can absolutely have your fur baby at your wedding! Hiring a professional dog chaperone service can help to solve any worries you may have. A professional to be your dog's plus one ensures that their every need is catered for before, during and after your wedding. Having a service on hand specifically for your dog also means that you and guests can enjoy the wedding and the joy having a dog there brings, without worrying about glamorous things like transport, feet wiping and poo picking! We can walk your dog, feed him, help with greeting the guests, provide transport and even overnight care, as well as being on hand to help with getting those all-important snaps! Having dogs at weddings is becoming more and more popular, with many venues now allowing them to be involved in some, if not all, of your wedding, so if you do decide to hire a professional chaperone make sure you get them booked early! |
