2. If a new date can’t be found, ask your chief bridesmaid to help you inform friends and family of the date change.
3. After friends and family have been informed you must tell the vendors and try to recoup any costs. The quicker you tell them, the most likely you are to get a refund.
4. If you have to down-size your day because guests can’t make it, arrange a blessing for the summer months – it gives you a chance to wear your dress again too.
5. If you're planning on marrying abroad, you must take out the right level of wedding insurance. Wedding insurance and wedding insurance for weddings abroad do differ. The latter should cover you for things like…
• Cancellation and expenses
