Have you thought about purchasing special insurance for your upcoming wedding or event?! In a recent issue of a wedding magazine, that question was asked, and answered.
If you cancel your event because of a sudden illness or bad weather prevents someone crucial (like the groom) from traveling, or a busted pipe floods your venue, basic insurance will reimburse the costs your site and vendors won't. There are also other types of insurance you can easily and inexpensively add on, including loss-of-deposit coverage, in case a vendor closes its business after receiving a deposit from you or doesn't show up, reimbursement for speical attire that was lost or danaged before the event; and photography insurance, which actually pays to reassemble everyone, plus flowers and cake, for new shots if your original photographer doesn't deliver.
I'd encourage you to get additional special event coverage if you are paying big deposits early on or if one of you has an unpredictable job (like the military). Coverage also can cover weather problems that come up. Premiums can be as low as $200. Check with your individual insurance agent about what he/she can offer so you can be protected on one of the most important days of your life!

December Dreams!!!
The year 2011 ended with a beautiful wedding held at Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster, MD and the reception at Skycroft Conference Center in Middletown, MD.
Events by Lexi worked with bride Jennifer Maggi (who was planning her wedding from Greensboro, NC), for just a few short months before Jennifer and Josh Herring's December 17 wedding!

First look!!
It was a chilly December day, but the bridal party ventured down to Main Street in Westminster before the ceremony for some great shots in front of the Carroll County Arts Center.
Jennifer read Scripture to her Bridesmaid's and Flower Girl before the service.

Event Details Done Differently!!
From a recent issue of "The Knot", there was an article about details to incorporate in your event or wedding . . . .
Cake -- use "Push-Up Pops" filled with layers of cake, icing, and flavored fillings and sprinkles! www.cakeshooters.com
Centerpieces -- add an unexpected vegetable, like red radishes, to a garden-inspired centerpiece of tulips, roses, peonies, and cymbidium orchids.
Favors -- give useful (and fun!) tokens like a deck of cards, dice, refrigerator magnets, having them personalized to the event!
Ice Sculpture -- make miniature ice sculptures to put into each glass; goes especially well with a signature cocktail! www.IceBulb.com
What other ideas do you have?! Share them with the group!

In the Pink!
In the January, 2012 issue of Brides.com, there was information about rose gold jewelry/rings! What a beautiful and unique idea!
Tell us more about your engagement and wedding rings -- my engagement ring is gold with a marquis-shaped diamond with little diamonds on each side of it; it makes a set with my wedding band which also has little diamonds on it
If you are already married, what other jewelry did you wear on your wedding day? My now-husband and I wore watches that we had given each other. My maid of honor had just given me, for my birthday, a gold and pearl bracelet which I wore; and I wore a small pearl necklace and earrings to match.
If you are engaged and planning to get married, have you thought about what jewelry you will wear that day? Wearing something from your mom or grandmother is a wonderful way to incorporate that "something borrowed" element into your wedding! On your wedding day, don't forget to move your engagement ring to your right hand before you walk down the aisle!
Share with us your thoughts and ideas!
Happy "Leap Day" -- I have a wedding on Leap Day this year at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum -- more on that later!
Have a great week,
Lexi

A beautiful summer wedding!
Hello all!
I thought for this blog, I'd include some pictures of a wedding I had in August 2011, as well as the vendors who made the wedding perfect for this young couple! The remainder of the pics will be on my facebook page.
