Beautiful Weddings

Planning a wedding can be a daunting experience. Most people won’t have organised a large event before, so it can be difficult to know where to begin.

Once you’ve decided on a date for the big day and booked the venue for your wedding or civil ceremony, the very next thing you need to do is book your reception venue.

The more popular wedding get booked up as far ahead as 3 years in advance; so to guarantee the fairytale wedding venue that you’ve always dreamed of it’s best to make this a priority from the start. In many cases you’ll find that if you’re not overly particular about the exact date you enter in to married life, then 6 months is often plenty of time to book the venue of your choice.

The majority of wedding venues will ask for a deposit as soon as you book and for the balance of the hire fee well in advance of your wedding day. The venue hire fee, which often includes many other costs for your wedding such as catering and entertainment, is often one of the largest investments of your day and people can feel uncomfortable parting with such a large sum of money so far in advance of the big day.

This is where wedding insurance is important. From the moment you start spending money on your wedding you should have a good wedding insurance policy in place. Wedding insurance doesn’t just cover financial losses incurred on the big day itself, but can help protect many costs incurred in the run up to your wedding including Wedding Dress cover , Wedding Rings and Transport cover and importantly Failure of Suppliers cover.

Specifically thinking about your venue, wedding insurance can help protect you in a number of ways in the run up to your wedding and on the day itself, including:

Cancellation Cover and Rearrangement Cover – Could help protect you from some of the significant costs that could be incurred if for instance your venue was unable to hold your wedding reception due to damage to the venue or if perhaps an important supplier such as your caterer didn’t turn up on the day. The Cancellation Cover in your wedding insurance could even help with some irrecoverable costs, such as deposits, in the event that yourself or your partner were made redundant before your wedding day.

Personal Liability and optional Public Liability Cover – With a large number of people gathered together to celebrate with you on your wedding day, accidents can sometimes happen. In today’s litigious environment it is wise to protect yourself against the cost of civil claims, for example, accidental loss or damage to a 3rd party’s property at the Wedding or reception venue. Wedding insurance can help protect you against such costs.

When they first start the search for their venue, many couples head straight for the big hotels. These hotels often offer a variety of packages for your big day covering everything from the catering and of course accommodation to flowers and even wedding cars. These packages can offer good savings compared to booking all the elements separately yourself. Often good value and undoubtedly convenient, be aware that some hotels run more than one wedding a day, so you could find yourself bumping in to another equally blushing bride in Reception, potentially taking some of the shine off your wedding.

 

For something a little different, have a look at stately homes and historical buildings. Many of these venues allow you to hire them exclusively giving you a more intimate feel to the day. Some people are put off by the fact you often need to book the catering etc yourself, but more and more of these potentially beautiful wedding venues will offer to help you plan your big day for those brides who would prefer someone else to take the strain.

Stately homes and historical buildings often come with beautiful grounds and therefore the opportunity for a romantic marquee wedding. Marquees come in all shapes and sizes, but for 200 people you could be looking at around £10,000 to hire a marquee that included everything you’d need such as carpets furniture, power and heating.

Although very pretty you must remember that marquee’s are only temporary structures so it is not unheard of for marquees to suffer damage while they are being hired out. Some marquee companies will expect you to cover all the costs of any damage, which could turn out to be considerable so it would be prudent to have in place wedding insurance with the additional Marquee cover option if a marquee is your ideal choice for you wedding venue.

Also don’t forget to check out local society buildings and halls as potential wedding venues; these can often offer far more interesting and memorable surroundings than a hotel or a stately home as they often hold special personal memories for couples and families alike and can be more convenient for friends and family travelling to your big day.

Start the search for your wedding venue online. There are a whole host of websites that allow you to search for the venue by area, by price and type of venue. An excellent feature of many of these sites is reviews of the venues by couples and guests that have experienced them first-hand. Make sure you read these reviews; a venue can give a really good impression when you go to have a look around, but it may be a very different story on your wedding day or vice-versa.

So remember, start looking early to make sure you find the venue that’s right for you, listen to what other people say and of course, make sure you have a good wedding insurance policy in place before you start spending a thing as you never know what will happen before your big day.

There is a wide misconception on exactly what a wedding sponsorship is. The type of people who seek out sponsors for their wedding are, for the most part people who understand budgeting. The concept of wedding sponsorship has been around for quite a while but still in some circles controversial. People have read articles and heard stories about couples who have gone this route and saved thousands of dollars in the process but the interesting thing about some of these couples, is that they could easily afford the wedding in the first place. So why go through the process of locating sponsors? Could it be that it just made “good sense”. Now I would have said “business sense” but that’s where it gets controversial. I have listened to heated arguments about this exact topic, almost as if the discussion was about politics. Some argue that this is a special day and it should not be tainted by the domination of corporate involvement. Just to be fair, most of these arguments take place due to lack of information on this subject. I think that most people when they here the words “Corporate Sponsor” they think of banners, flyers, display booths, print media and even publicity gimmicks. At the very least have a preconceived image of the words “Sponsored By…” etched in their minds.

Sponsored weddings are not corporate events and should not be treated as such. The form of sponsorship, which appeals to most wedding couples and corporate sponsors alike, are cross promotion and barter opportunities. As an example, if you were already prepared to pay $7000.00 for the wedding venue and the vendor said to you “ look, if you give me the names of three more potential wedding couples that I might call to promote to my venue, I will give you a 70% discount ($4900.00). Now if you knew three couples that were getting married in the next year, you might be inclined to pass the name on to the venue owner, and take advantage of this discount. There is no different between this scenario and what a wedding sponsor can be. Two things to remember; everything is negotiable on some level and everything has some value to someone.

Talk about hindu weddings ,and the first thing that comes in to mind is the joy, charm, rituals and colourful ceremonies that extend for several days. The  flamboyance and charm that is seen in hindu weddings is unparalleled and unmatched.Right from wedding attire to gifts, wedding venue to food , cards to accessories everything is a pefect display of grandeur . 

Hindus attach a lot of importance with the wedding ceremonies . The ceremonies start days before the actual wedding day and last for many days after the wedding takes place.The pre-wedding ceremonies include enagagement where the groom’s relatives are invited to bride’s place and the lagna patra is written .Then comes the big day ‘wedding day’ followed by bride’s welcome to the groom’s place often called reception . others like mehndi, geet sangeet are few other very important and enjoyable ceremonies . Unlike the western marriages , hindu marriages are much more celebrated and talked about . One of the reason being ,that marriage is a good time when all family members, relatives and friends irrespective of physical or emotional distances get together  for a common goal, wedding. They share their happiness together and enhance the beauty of the occasion by contributing in various ways like dancing and singing.

Hindu weddings are a perfect example of extravagance and flamboyance. From the heavily embellished and much too expensive attire and accessories of the bride and groom to the exotic wedding venues everything demands lot of money and resources. The preparation of a wedding is also a very challenging task. It involves everything from booking the wedding venue to arranging caterers plus the decoration, cards distribution and the list of tasks goes on , Therefore the preparation starts months before the wedding. But at the end of the day its worth spending that much amount of time and resources on weddings as for hindus marriage is a once in a lifetime occasion. A lifetime bond made in heaven and performed here by us.

On the wedding day the bride and the groom exchange garlands called varmalas infront of all the people attending the ceremony.And then after much of celebration and naach gaana the time to take pheras come. Hindu wedding ceremonies are conducted in Sanskrit. These are called mantras which are uttered by the holy priest in the presence of the auspicious fire, one of the panchkarmas.The bride and the groom are then asked to take saat phere around the holy fire. After completing pheras , bride and groom seek blessings from the god then the priest and then the parents. And then comes the time of “vidaai”, when the bride finally leaves her parents house for her husband and in laws .This is the only time when the entire happiness and cheerfulness in the environment turns a little gloomy. But it is just a momentary emotional outburst and ultimately everyone from both the sides blesses the holy bond and enjoy and celebrate their happiness.
