One of the most common uses of wedding insurance is for supplier failure, since sadly it is all too common that a service provider or supplier of items necessary for the wedding is unable to fulfil their obligations. This could be due to illness, bankruptcy, poor organisation or even traffic issues. With many weddings incorporating the services of a growing number of suppliers, there is a greater likelihood that one of them will be forced to let you down.

Imagine, for example, that your limousine driver was forced to pull out because the head gasket of the limousine blew the day before. Or your florist failed to deliver because she's just been diagnosed as having Swine Flu. Perhaps your DJ isn't too bright with paperwork, double booked himself, and had to let you down, or your wedding cake can't be delivered because the van was involved in an accident and the cake was squashed.

Believe it or not, all of these problems really have happened - sometimes more often than you'd credit. There are so many reasons why suppliers of wedding services let people down, either due to careless planning, ill health or financial problems. Wedding insurance is absolutely vital in such cases, either to allow you to afford to replace the service provider with someone else at the last minute, or at least retrieve any deposit you may have paid.

Of course, if the supplier failed to deliver as promised then they may well offer you a full return on your deposit. However, these are not the best of times economically speaking for many businesses, with a growing number suffering, and being forced to declare themselves bankrupt. In such cases you may be entirely unable to obtain your deposit, and wedding insurance will be the only way in which you can claim it back.

When you consider than the average deposit is well into three figures, yet you'll find wedding insurance prices in just two figures, you can see very easily that it's well worth having. If you don't need to claim on your wedding insurance then you're hardly like to complain - since it means that your wedding went smoothly, everyone delivered as promised and you are now happily married!

However, should you be let down, you'll be very glad of your wedding insurance as it will allow you to either put things right financially, or if you have had to postpone your wedding, you'll be able to afford to rearrange it much sooner.

It's important to remember that many suppliers of goods or services for weddings are just people, and therefore fallible. Relying on a business name, assuming it will always be there, always untouchable is to forget that if national chains such as Woolworths can collapse under the pressure of today's financial woes, then any of your suppliers could face the same fate.

With weddings planned many months in advance, it's impossible for you or them to predict whether they'll still be trading at that time. Wedding insurance may not offer any guarantees that businesses won't collapse - but if they do, at least you won't be going down with them.

How do you imagine your winter wedding? Is it just like every other wedding, or is it playful and spirited, with whimsical decorations, a special menu, and unique bridesmaid jewelry full of charm? If the second one sounds more like your style, get the ball rolling with a whimsical winter wedding invitation.

What sets an invitation apart from the pack is being a little different. Or sometimes even a lot different. It depends on the size of your guest list and the size of your wedding stationery budget. If you have a small guest list and a large budget, you can do some really creative things. One fantastic idea is to have relatively large gingerbread cookies made in the shape of a chapel. They can be decorated with the traditional white icing in fanciful patterns to create an edible wedding chapel invitation. You could write the wedding details right on the cookies with icing, or if that does not allow enough space, overlay the gingerbread chapel cookies with a piece of vellum printed with the invitation details. Of course the whole creation will need to be carefully packaged to ensure that it arrives in one piece, but what a unique (and tasty!) way to invite your friends and family to join you for your winter nuptials.

Another fun idea for a non-paper winter wedding invitation is to have a professional calligrapher write the wedding details on large Christmas ornaments. The frosted glass balls will make the best backdrop, and they are easy to write on. Tie a large festive velvet or tartan bow to the top of each ornament as an extra festive touch. Again, careful packaging will be key so that your amazing invites arrive safely. This would be a spectacular invitation for a holiday theme wedding where the bridesmaids are wearing traditional velvet dresses with claret crystal bridesmaid jewelry.

There are certainly some charming winter wedding invitations made in the more traditional paper format. A cute idea for a cozy reception in a rustic ski lodge is stationery made with a classic red and white Nordic ski sweater pattern. You could even customize it with a monogram across the top that is designed to look like it was knit. Yes, there really is a knitting font available for both Macs and pcs! It would look wonderful to present the invitation in a brown paper envelope tied up with a red piece of yarn. Everyone would definitely get the style of your wedding from these special invitations.

A very sweet design for a whimsical winter wedding invitation is a letterpress design featuring a pair of reindeer with hearts hanging from their antlers. Choose a chic brown and pink color palette to take the reindeer motif away from its Christmasy associations. A pair of reindeer with interlocking antlers is another charming motif. Think of it as the winter version of a pair of lovebirds. It is both romantic and whimsical at the same time.

Unique and playful invitations will help set the tone for your wedding. From DIY to custom to imprintables, there are some charming options available for the offbeat winter bride. Make the most of your only chance to make a first impression with a special winter wedding invitation that no one will ever forget!

To commemorate and celebrate your ancestral roots of Old Mother Russia, there are a lot of things you can do at your wedding ceremony or reception. Whether you are a Russian bride and/or groom planning your special day, these Russian customs will bring you some great ideas.

KISS LIP-PRINT NAPKIN - Before the actual ceremony or your wedding, one of the bridesmaids will present a napkin to the groom-to-be with various lipstick kiss prints all over it. If the groom guesses the wrong print, he has to pay a fine to the bride!!!

WEDDING BUTTERFLIES - Instead of rice or flowers, live butterflies are often released! This makes for some really interesting pictures.

THE BREAD PRESENTATION - Before the actual wedding ceremony, a member of the bridal party will often present in typical Russian wedding custom, both the bride and groom with a wedding ceremonial bread and salt tray. The bride and groom are lead into the actual ceremony hall where the actual rites and vows are to be held. (The platter of bread is symbolizes the hope for a healthy long life with prosperity for the couple.)

At the ceremony, the bread is then eaten by both the bride and groom, and the traditional joke is that the one who takes the largest bite will be the one who wears pants in the family.

BRIDAL PARTY SASHES - It's tradition for the best man and maid of honor to wear sashes over their clothing.

THE FANCY DECORATED CAR - Many Russian couples will hire a fancy limousine and have it decorated in gold streams, decorations and yellow and white flowers. When the couple cannot afford a limo, most just have their bridal party pretty up their own cars, or borrow a friend's car. No matter what, the bride and groom end up riding around their town after the ceremony in style.

Quite often, neighbors and other people in the city will see the couple's names painted on a side window. They always cheer and run to the car and wave good luck in support of their peers' happy day.

5 STOP TRIP - For most Russian brides and grooms, the traditional town bridal tour is not only a matter of showing up in a specific and often scenic location for a great photo shoot reasons, the long ride symbolizes a long and happy marriage to come. The newly weds make pitstops at 5 different places around the city that hold special meaning for citizens. There they engage in various wedding photos and leave flowers to symbolize their contribution as husband and wife to the town.

POPULAR DOVE RELEASE PHOTO OPP - The bride and groom often arrange to simultaneously release a white dove near a waterfront for a beautiful picture together. This release symbolizes the purity of their love.

Pronto, e benvenuto, spose-a-essere! Hello, and welcome, brides-to-be! Whether you're Italian, getting married in Italy or simply having an Italian-themed wedding, you just might want to thank your guests for sharing your day with a small gift that lets them take the fabulous flavor of Italy home.

According to a 2007 Harris poll, more people in the US choose Italian food when eating out than any other. And whether it's the olive oil or the other ingredients (fresh vegetables, garlic, fish, etc.), Italian cuisine-happily for us-is healthy! In fact, a recent Nurse's Health Study suggests that The Mediterranean Diet reduces the risk of heart disease and many cancers by up to 30%.

There's no doubt we love the tasty treasures Italians have brought to this country, so why not honor their contribution with Italian wedding favors? Here are five favor ideas that celebrate the cooking that conquered our hearts!

• What's the first thing you think of when you hear the words Italian food? More likely than not, you'll think of pizza, and there's actually a pizza slicer available in wedding-favor form. The pizza slicer comes in a gift box designed to look like a pizza box, but it has a circular window on the top so the slicer shows through. It's the perfect size for one of those small, personal pizzas we love!

• There's one ingredient you'll find in practically every Italian recipe, and it's olive oil. You simply can't cook Italian food without it! Wedding favors that bring this essence of Italy to your guests include small, personalized bottles filled with gourmet olive oil, or you can opt for a favor-sized olive oil dispenser in Tuscany-themed packaging. Guests can fill it with their favorite brand of EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil-it's a Rachael Ray thing) when they get home.

• Parmesan cheese is almost as prevalent in Italian cooking as olive oil, and you can give your guests a loving reminder of you wedding with a Parmesan cheese shaker. The cheese shakes out of the glass jar through holes shaped like hearts in the lid. Parmesano-Reggiano, its official name, was first produced in the Italian province of Reggio-Emilia and quickly spread to Parma and Modena some time before the 13th century, and we've sprinkled it on our favorites ever since.

• The best Italian olives are grown in Italy's Umbria region, but most of the Mediterranean basin is perfect for producing olives and, believe it or not, the olive is a fruit. Some of the olives are used to make olive oil, and the others are tiny, tasty treats that add pizzazz to any meal. While a tiny, personalized jar of olives might make an interesting favor, a better option is a favor-style, ceramic "Olive You" olive tray that says "LOVE" in the center with a green olive replacing the O, beautifully packaged with a olive-themed spreader.

• It wouldn't be an Italian wedding without biscotti, so individually wrapped, personalized biscotti is a great way to go! Delicious biscotti wedding favors come in a variety of flavors, like lemon, orange, chocolate, hazelnut and almond, and you can have them dipped in white, milk chocolate or dark chocolate with the personalization on the chocolate. What a yummy way to wind up your wedding!

Effective communication between you and your wedding guests is essential in the months leading up to your wedding. But in this stressful time, how can you maintain healthy relationships with your family and friends when you're flooded with questions and feeling in over your head?

You know your wedding guests ask for details because they care about you. They want to feel involved and informed during this exciting time in your life. And admit it, it's nice to have all the attention focused on you and your Big Day! Yet it can often be a bit overwhelming to answer the same questions over and over again. Or maybe you're concerned that important wedding details will be forgotten or misinterpreted.

In just a few simple steps, you can create easy and accessible sources of information specifically for and about your wedding. When your wedding guests feel informed, confusion will be minimized for them and for you. Everyone wins!

Sources of Information:

1) Both Sets of Parents - Of course, your parents will probably know all about even the most minute detail of your wedding, but remember to go over the basics to ensure that they will share accurate, up-to-date information. Chances are, your parents will receive inquiries when you're not around, so be sure to advise them of any details you wish to have passed along.

2) Bridal Party - This involves everyone from your bridesmaids and groomsmen, to your ushers and guest book attendants. Your wedding guests will definitely direct questions at these individuals, and they'll want to be ready to offer assistance.

3) Bridal Consultant or Wedding Planner - Obviously, this individual will be in tune with your wedding itinerary and details, but ensure that he or she has a quick reference to any and all questions that may be presented.

4) Personal Wedding Website or Wedding Webpage- Post all essential wedding details online so accurate information can be displayed 24/7! Send the web address of your personal wedding website to everyone on your email list. Also include the web address of your wedding website with your wedding invitations so your guests can come back often to view any new details you choose to post.

Important Details to Communicate:

1) Schedule of Events - Include expected starting dates and times for the wedding ceremony and reception, along with the appropriate addresses and phone numbers. Relay maps or driving directions and if necessary, any parking specifications or restrictions for each venue.

2) Wedding Gift Registry - Tactfully and effectively share what your wedding guests really want to know: what you need and where they can go to get it!

3) Contact Info - List the "go to" person you've delegated for any further details.

4) Allergy Alerts - A must-have if your meal selections contain ingredients that trigger well-known allergies.

5) Dress Code Guidelines - If certain dress codes are in effect, it is essential for your guests to be aware of this ahead of time.

6) Special Requests - Special care needs to be given to potentially delicate information such as "adult only" requests or "invited guests only due to limited space". These issues should be presented kindly and firmly, but in a sensitive manner.

7) Travel and Lodging Info - Share special rates you've negotiated or related accommodation details such as blocks of hotel rooms reserved under your names. You may need to supply a unique code for your wedding guests to provide at the time of booking.

8) Weather Restrictions - If any part of your wedding celebration is being held outdoors, convey all back-up arrangements should the weather not cooperate.

9) "RSVP By" Date - Have a deadline by which all RSVPs must be sent in. Set your "RSVP By" date far enough in advance that you can deliver an accurate guest count to your caterer and organize proper seating arrangements for your tables.

10) Currently Unknown Details - Your input is needed, even if you do not yet have a definite opinion or a decision made regarding a certain aspect of your wedding. Sometimes it's helpful when your wedding guests can realize that you have not yet finalized a certain element of your wedding, but will be sure to share more once you have reached a decision. This can ease the pressure put on you and your decision-making process. A personal wedding website is especially effective in these instances, since you may post a "More info coming soon!" page on your wedding website.

Your wedding guests will be thankful for the lines of communication you've established for their benefit. With this in place, you can get back to enjoying your family and friends, rather than feeling overwhelmed by their questions. Clear communication is critical to effectively plan a stress-free wedding. After all, informed guests are happy guests...and happy guests are ready to celebrate your amazing, unforgettable wedding day!

Photography make up is slightly different from daily make up applications. Here are some pointers -

Lighting:

• Use natural lighting - for example, near a big window with lights coming in
  


• If photography is taking place outdoors, do so around 4pm to 5pm, when the sun is about to set. Soft lighting makes a person better

Preparing the face:

• Wash, exfoliate, tone and moisturize your face before applying make up
  


• Oil control is very important. If you can, use oil free formulated products
  


• Keep hair away from the face
  


• To reduce puffy eyes, use Preparation H

Foundation:

• Choose a thicker formulated foundation rather than the sheers ones that are used in daily applications so that all blemishes are covered easily
  


• Blend foundation from chin to neck so that they are of the same colour
  

Powder:

• Use lots of it, and reapply between shots, to create a mat finish look

Concealer:

• 2 shades lighter than skin to cover blemishes and dark spots; apply before foundation application

Contouring:

• Contour cheeks and eyes to create a sculpted look
  


• Use foundation in a shade that is 2 to 3 shades darker than normal skin tone

Eyes:

• Highlight eyebrow bones using light shadow to create lively eyes
  


• Avoid eyeshadow that is too frosty or shimmery - it'll appear shiny
  


• Apply eyeliner with precision
  


• Use waterproof mascara
  


• Overall application needs to be than normal make up

Lips:

• Use lipstick and liner of same colour, in a shade darker than natural lip colour

When planning to hire a limousine service, there are many things to consider. The following are tips to help you find an exceptional limousine service that will not disappoint you.

Research:

Check the Company's name with the Better Business Bureau ("BBB"). Some limousine services may not be registered with the BBB, simply because of the cost. It is best to avoid the ones listed there as clients have had negative experiences with them.

Ask for references and reviews and be sure to check them.

Preparation:

Before contacting the company, have an idea of the following:

Number of passengers; this will determine the limousine size you require.

All major intersections, from the initial pick up to final drop off.

Time for pick up and drop offs.

If it is a wedding and you are unsure what time the initial pick up should be, ask for suggestions.

Reservations:

Ask the availability for your event/occasion.

Amount of deposit required.

Are they flexible, if changes need to be made?

Be sure to contact the company whenever there are changes to your schedule or locations.

Be sure to ask about their experience in catering to your type of event.

Price:

Does the company charge by the hour? Package? At times, price may be an issue; if so, tell them and ask if they will negotiate before you move on to a company that has prices far less than what most charge. As the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for."

Are HST and driver gratuity included?

Percentage of tip? (Tipping rules: 15% is average, 20% is for great service).

Do they charge extra for long distances?

What is included in the price? (drinks, red carpet, champagne...)

What is the cost for waiting time charges?

What is the cost for each additional hour?

Is there a grace period and how long is it?

Discounts:

Are there discounts for off season or non-Saturday weddings and other occasions?

Is there a discount for booking more than one vehicle?

Is there a discount if you also book vehicle(s) for your stag/stagette?

Condition of Vehicles:

Is the car in good condition?

What guarantee does the company give that their limousines are in good condition?

Chauffeurs:

Experience of chauffeurs.

How will the chauffeur be dressed?

Safety

Ask if they have commercial insurance. When limousine services charge $200 - $300 less than other providers for weddings, there is a good possibility they do not have commercial insurance. God forbid anything happens to you or your guests, for you will not be compensated for your injuries.

Ask if they are licensed.

If you trust the company and decide not to view the limousine, they should offer a written guarantee that your limousine will arrive in excellent condition, terms & conditions, interior and exterior photos of your limousine. If it is a wedding, the details of what comes in your wedding package and an itinerary sheet for you to fill out should be provided.

Be sure you have a signed contract stating all of the particulars for your day.

Ask if they have a contingency plan in place in case of a breakdown. Don't believe or trust any limousine service that tells you they have back up limousines in case of a breakdown. Limousines depending on the seating capacity and year, cost $15, 000 - $100,000. No one spends that amount of money to have it parked, waiting for a breakdown.

Confirmation:

Confirm your reservation with the transportation company 1 week before your wedding date.

Be wary of limousine services who want to collect full payment before your wedding date.

If you follow the tips provided, you will end up with an excellent limo service that will take care of all of the details and provide peace of mind on your special day.

Russians are very superstitious people. They will deny this, but it is true. These superstitions affect my life on a daily basis. Most of the time they are harmless and I go along with them to humor my wife. Sometimes I tease her about them.

New superstitions pop up all the time, as new situations arise in our life. I keep telling her that I need a rulebook for them. Perhaps someday I will codify them in a book.

Russians are raised with these superstitions so they have no need to consult a manual.
Here are some of them. It is by no means an exhaustive list:

1) You can't whistle in the house or car, as they believe that you are whistling away your money.

At a dinner party at our house, a friend of mine started whistling. My wife silenced him immediately. She explained to him, "You can whistle in your own house, but you can't whistle in mine. In my house, it's my money you are whistling away."

When she first came to America, she would see people standing at intersections holding signs. She asked me what they were doing. I told her they were asking for money. She asked me why. I told her that they had done entirely too much whistling in their house for their own good.

2) If you step on your spouse's shoe by accident, you have to let the other person step on your shoe, or you will have an argument.

I never tested this superstition. It seemed easier to go along with the remedy than pay the price for violating it.

3) If you leave your house, you cannot go back inside for something you have forgotten, or your trip will result in 'nothing good,' as my wife says.

4) If you must go back in to get the forgotten item, you can try to mitigate the bad effects of returning by looking into the mirror at your own reflection for a moment before you leave again.

5) Never demonstrate another's surgery or wound on your own body with your hand or other means as you are likely to visit that upon yourself.

In the few times I have done this, my wife has tried to remedy this by wiping away the spot where I made the imaginary incision with her hand, blowing on her hand to blow it away to the wind, and covering it with the sign of the cross.

6) Never give a Russian woman an even number of flowers. Even numbers are for the dead. Always give odd numbers. When you order a dozen, or two dozen roses, for her, ask them to throw in an extra one for good luck.

7) Never give yellow flowers to a Russian woman. It signifies infidelity and may mean that your relationship will not last.

8) Never give a watch as a gift to a Russian woman. Time is running out on your relationship.

9) Never give knives or handkerchiefs as gifts. I don't know the reason for this one.

10) Never celebrate a birthday early. You are pushing your luck.

11) Don't show your newborn baby to strangers until after forty days. They are waiting for their soul to arrive and they may take on another's soul or energy during that time.

12) It's best to cut your hair or nails during a full moon.

13) It's considered bad luck to shave or cut your hair when a family member is in danger or bad health.

14) Whenever someone praises you or offers a positive comment, you knock on wood or imaginarily spit three times over your left shoulder so that you are not jinxed by the comment.

15) Do not shake hands or kiss over the threshold of a door. It forms a bridge that allows the devil or evil spirits from the outside to enter the house this way. When I have done this by mistake, my wife usually pushes me back outside or pulls me inside before greeting me with a kiss at the front door.

16) Before anyone takes a long trip, the whole family sits together silently for a few minutes before the traveler leaves.

17) The truly superstitious have been known to eat 'lucky' bus tickets, when the sum of the left three numbers equals the sum of the three numbers on the right.

18) Recently, while preparing to give my infant daughter a bath, the little tyke peed on me while I was taking her clothes off. My wife laughed and said that it was good news. It meant that I would live to dance at my daughter's wedding!

This list is not exhaustive by any means. Superstitions vary by country and locale. There is a popular Russian television show that travels around the country exploring the unique superstitions of each particular town or village.

Many of the superstitions came from folk tales or fairy stories, Russian Orthodox tradition, or had peasant or agricultural roots. Most Russians are only one or two generations from the farm or village.

At any rate, be aware of the superstitions and try to show some respect for them whether or not you believe in them. Your Russian friends will appreciate it.

Getting a home security system is not something to put off for the future, to jot down on that list along with getting fit and picking out a great outfit for your cousin's wedding. It's something that should qualify as a top-level priority for anyone seriously concerned about their own well-being, that of their family and that of their personal possessions. These days, installing a security system is far from being the colossal hassle it was in previous years, when the technology was still fresh and adequate knowledge confined to those with an understanding of sophisticated electronics and complicated, arcane computer user interfaces. Wireless security cameras and home security sensors, of both the infrared and contact variety, are sufficiently easy to install that you can learn all you need to know in an hour of web-surfing. What's more, they're cheap enough to make the cost-risk equation a real no-brainer.

Wireless security cameras: simple and easy to install

It's possible to set up a wireless webcam to serve as your personal, wireless security camera, even if you possess the tech-savvy of an 8-year-old. These devices, which are getting smaller by the day even as the resolution available increases to levels of sharpness far beyond the human eye, can be concealed in any desktop ornament - you can install them, Hollywood style, in teddy bears, toys, paperweights, even behind two-way mirrors. It's as simple as drilling a hole in your table or mantelpiece for a feeder cable, cutting a sufficiently wide lens-hole in the side of the ornament to be used as their disguise, and arranging the camera within it. By running the feed cable to a USB port on your computer, you can simultaneously charge the device and record footage. Simple motion detection software, such as that available for download at Bit.ly, can ensure that your computer records only when there's a disturbance in the camera's visual field, making your new home security system both functional and efficient.

Save disk space by making the most of your home security sensors

It's also possible to have the device activated by various kinds of home security sensors. Infrared sensors activate when an object of sufficient heat moves across their detection field. Contact sensors, by contrast, are activated by the opening of a window or door, an action which either opens or closes the circuit made by the two installed sensor pads, which in turn sends a signal to the central home security system hub to which the sensors are wired. Another type of home security sensor utilizes UWB (ultra-wideband) radar. For the purposes of motion detection, these sensors function by 'staring' over a fixed range and sensing any change in the average time taken for the signals the device emits to be returned.

These are the same kinds of motion sensors that activate your porch light when someone walks across the driveway. The technology has been around for a long time, and has just about been perfected, to the point that upper-range home-security systems incorporate sensors with pet-human discrimination technology. PIR detectors can be made to discriminate between pets and humans by use of a modified lens or mirror that vertically stretches the zones in regions closer to the sensor, an effect that reduces the size of the 'blip' created by, say, a cat, and increases that created by a person. The industry term for such discriminator home security systems is 'pet immune'. Wireless security cameras can be programmed with software for a similar effect.

If you plan to install a home security system incorporating wireless security cameras and home security sensors all by yourself, there are a few important considerations you'll want to keep in mind. One is location. Ideally, cameras and sensors should cover those areas through which an intruder will have to pass in order to access the house. So doors, windows and skylights should be first. Be more concerned about those entry points that are off the street and shielded from public eyes, as they're the ones morel likely to be used by intruders.

Sign up with a good security agency

Perhaps even more importantly, you'll need to think about the monitoring of your system. If you're going fully independent with your system, the best thing you could possibly do is install a loud alarm siren to be activated upon intrusion, or, if you're really willing to go the extra mile, an automated telephonic system to contact the police with a looped, pre-recorded voice message. Neither of these options is as effective as being signed up with a good home security company. Home security companies, such as ADT, offer better response times than police in most parts of the world. Furthermore, if consulted from the beginning, such security companies will install your wireless security cameras and home security sensors in a fully integrated home security system that they'll be responsible for monitoring - which, for a relatively small fee every month, will really be the ultimate assurance of peace of mind.
