WEDDING WORRIES Will I be covered for payments and deposits already paid prior to purchasing wedding insurance? 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. Here at Wedinsure, we offer 10 levels of wedding insurance coverage 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. Mark Brown www.wedinsure.co.uk STEP INTO SPRING We’re getting married next spring and want pictures that reflect the season. What do you suggest? Moving away from the darker, warmer tones of winter, for a spring wedding I would showcase it as bright and zingy. This can be achieved by photographing with bright backdrops using the sun as much as possible and pops of the season’s gorgeous colours that are often found in flowers and foliage.
