Coronavirus and postponing your wedding
You are stressing, you don't know what to do about your wedding plans now that this Coronavirus has taken over our lives. It's OK- I've got you. We have options..
1- If your wedding is quickly approaching, postponing and rescheduling for a later date is a great option. Your deposits and payments can most likely be transferred to another date by all of your vendors. Yes perhaps each and every vendor, family member, guest and bridesmaid may not be available on your new wedding day- but this is a viable option and what most all of my brides are in the process of currently. What is the MOST important vendor for you? If it's your venue, try to secure a new date ASAP so that you get the first options. If some of your vendors are not available like your DJ or Photographer, they may have associates that work under them in the same company. I still create timelines, schedule meetings, edit and deliver your galleries, but I have an associate shoot your wedding for us IF I’m already committed to another wedding that day.
2- Make it happen but smaller!!! "Micro-weddings” are quickly becoming extremely popular. Some of the elderly and hardest hit can join on a streaming service or enjoy your photos and videos whenever they are published. It’s your same wedding but a smaller version of it. Imagine all the extra time you’ll have with a handful of guests instead of trying to visit with 157 people!!!
3- Elope!!! How romantic!!! Talk about intimate and all about you!! There are so many benefits to eloping- ALL that extra money you saved can go right to your honeymoon fund, you can avoid family drama that comes with large gatherings, and it simply is about YOU nobody’s expectations but YOURS!!!! Think of all of the options you'll have when you chose locations, times, places to explore with your Photographer. They make for dreamy photo-shoots that are ALL ABOUT our couples!
The wedding industry is being rocked, we feel your pain, we understand your struggles. Trust in your vendors to take care of you. We're all devastated with you with each email we get... Your wedding day is and will always be about the two of you and your crazy mad love. If your date, venue, or vendors change, you still have each other and tons of crazy pandemic stories to tell the grand kids in 30 years!!!
