Household insurance policies recommended for weddings

 

Couples planning on tying the knot have been urged today to consider taking out all risks home insurance prior to the big day.

 

The advice follows research which showed the average value of wedding presents tops £1,400.

 

Many couples are failing to take out appropriate cover on their matrimonial household additions.

 

Switching to a provider that automatically accounts for this represents a simple and effective solution.

 

Andy Sampson, of Legal & General, commented: "With the stress of arranging everything for the 'Big Day' it helps to know that the extra insurance cover is in place to cover the wedding outfits and accessories plus all the wedding gifts future married couples may have, both before and after their wedding day.

 

"Couples should just check that the home contents insurance cover under their house insurance policy or their parent's house insurance, if the wedding items are being stored there instead, is adequate to cover the additional value of their wedding ensemble. This is particularly important if the couple are planning to be away on honeymoon."
