Tip of the Day: Invest in wedding planning insurance from the very beginning says Kawania Wooten of Howerton+Wooten Events. "It may feel like an unnecessary expense, but it is worth every penny if you find that you need it," she says. "As a planner, I have seen the most carefully made wedding plans get derailed because of unexpected incidents such as theft, vendor/venue closings, hurricanes, government shutdowns and severe illness.
