Wedding Worries
| Q | Will I be covered for payments and deposits already paid prior to purchasing wedding insurance? |
| A | Mark Brown says: Yes, in the event of a valid claim the policy covers all proven payments and deposits that you've paid to your wedding suppliers. Wedding insurance can be purchased up to a maximum of 30 months before the big day and a minimum of one month before the date, and so the best time to take out wedding insurance is as soon as you've paid for any part of the event and you have a date and venue locked down. Wedinsure offers 10 levels of wedding insurance cover ranging from £6,000 up to £100,000, with prices starting from as little as £38.99. And whilst everyone expects their day to go without a hitch, sometimes things can, and do, go wrong and it can leave you significantly out of pocket when it does. Which is where wedding insurance comes in. It provides financial protection for cancellation and rearrangement, financial failure of wedding services suppliers, personal liability, damage or theft of ceremonial attire, wedding gifts, wedding rings, photography … and more. Get covered for your big day. |

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. |
