August 21, 2010 Leave a Comment

One of the most important vendors that you hire for your wedding day is the photographer. Many years later you and your beloved are able to sit back and look back on your big day with happiness. That is of course unless you suffer the horror of horrors and your wedding photos are ruined or your photographer does not show up. This is where a good wedding insurance policy can come in and save the day, at least financially.

If your photographer were to go out of business a few days before your wedding and you had taken out wedding insurance you may be able to claim on your policy and get back any money you have paid. Your biggest problem then is rushing around to get another photographer to cover the wedding. At least you do not suffer financial loss.

Should the photographer’s camera be faulty and your photos are ruined or if the film is not developed correctly you may be able to claim and then have a re-run of the wedding and retake photos.

When comparing wedding insurance you should bear in mind that not all policies offer the same benefits and cover. Some may offer more for the same in premiums than you may get with other providers.

Reception Ideas For Your Wedding Day

July 26, 2010 Leave a Comment

The typical wedding reception is held in a room with a buffet and a DJ playing music with the hope your guests will mingle and all join in and dance. However you may wish to spice up your wedding reception and have something different that will leave your guests talking about your big day for a long time afterwards.

You may wish to take on a themed wedding. This for instance could be set in the style of cowboys and Indians, characters out of a fairytale or your favourite TV stars. You send out invites to all of your friends and family telling them what you expect them to wear to the reception and be sure to tell them this theme is just for the reception and not the wedding itself.

If you don’t think your guests are likely to want to turn up in fancy dress then you may want to just have a theme for the reception itself. This could include decorations, table names, statues and room decorations.

When planning your wedding day you may wish to cover against the unknown and take out wedding insurance. Wedding insurance covers many things including being let down by your venue and you cannot hold your wedding reception.
