Having a wedding forces couples to become proactive not only in planning but protection as well. The percentage of potential risks are high. Using some foresight is key to thinking about what could possibly go wrong and find a solution before it does. Are you worried whether your photographer will deliver pictures for your wedding? Pay a deposit and then the full amount only until you receive the photos. Are you worried about your cake surviving the summer heat? Ensure that your vendor is nice and cool for it to stay safe and obtain its shape. Concerned by lack of communication from vendors? Draw up a list with everyone’s phone numbers so each person can be reached. By shifting the risk for any of these scenarios is an easy way to protect yourself from paying more than you need to.

Times are changing and so are weddings. The new generation (aka millennials) have looked more towards loft spaces and barns as opposed to traditional church and banquet when it comes to settings. The days of sitting in a big ball gown with chandeliers and a tall wedding cake have slowly faded.
