As an Oklahoma wedding planner, its a true statement, that if you dont like the current weather wait 5 minutes its likely to change.

When you’re planning every last detail of the décor, meal, and music for your big day, it’s difficult to imagine anything not going exactly as expected. But as with anything in life, and our unpredictable Oklahoma weather sometimes things can go awry. After you’ve spent so much time preparing to walk down the aisle, you should have some peace of mind that your investments are safe. It’s the day you’ve always dreamed of, after all.  But, in case bad luck strikes on your otherwise perfect day, wedding insurance can help you recoup your losses if you need to cancel or reschedule your event.

Suppose an unusual spring season renders your reception location damaged by severe weather. You might get your deposit back, but are forced to reschedule for a later date—plus reprint invitations to reflect the change, rebook a new caterer, and secure a different DJ who can accommodate the new day. Can you imagine attempting to recoup the payments made to vendors and deposits lost? Between vendor mishaps, emergencies, and even serious illness or family crisis, scenarios like these happen more often than you might think.

Enter wedding insurance—a must-have for making sure your wedding day is protected. Policies are simple and affordable, offering priceless peace of mind in case you need to cancel or reschedule your event for reasons just like the above. With multiple options and levels of coverage, you can choose the policy that best fits your needs and customize as your budget allows.

I always advise my clients to explore the options, peace of mind is worth the few added dollars to your wedding day.

Know that wedding dress regret is normal….

There is so much pressure about the wedding dress. Thanks to shows like “Say Yes To The Dress,” women are almost wired to think that choosing a wedding dress is the biggest decision a bride will ever make.

We also assume that when we find “the” dress, we’ll stand in front of the mirror and weep happily. Reality is? This does not really happen. 

In fact, many brides worry they purchased the wrong dress, and they face a ton of anxiety about it throughout the wedding-planning process.Part of the problem is the dress purchase happens so early on, and then we have a ton of time to overthink our decision.

Trust your gut. You purchased your dress for a reason. And turn off the reality TV shows!
