Weddings, as we know them, have changed and no one truly knows how long or how permanent the change is. Nevertheless, life truly does go on.
So, if you’re planning to tie the knot in the current climate, then nothing should stop you. There are a couple of this you need to take into consideration, here are a few of them.
Create a Vision Board

Just because it may not be as grand an event anymore doesn’t mean you don’t have to put in the same effort. Planning a wedding that’s social distancing compliant, has a shorter guest list and is generally a lot ‘less’, will not be easy. So, you need to visualize it in your mind and create a kick-ass vision board. You could opt for something physical or simply go for a virtual one. Either way, map your route all the way to the D-day and it’ll go a long way to keep you grounded.
Shift everything online
Whether you’ve had to cancel your wedding or have recently decided to tie the knot, it’s easy to get discouraged in the present climate. But, you can still do a lot now that most vendors have moved online.
You can pick your flowers, your centrepieces and so much more on various online platforms. But don’t just stop there, shift everything online so all your information in one place. Rather than receiving physical mail with information concerning your wedding, try to use sites like physicaladdress.com so you can receive them virtually. That way, you’re not scatterbrained when you should be calm.
Communicate with your vendors

These are the people who are ultimately going to help you build your wedding from the ground up. So, you need to talk to them a whole lot. Although walking into a bunch of physical stores is a bit risky at the moment, you can take advantage of technology. You can either hold one on one calls or loop in vendors with related jobs. Either way, you have the liberty to vet DJ’s, decorators, and even your photographers.
Find the best Wedding Get up

Whether it’s a dress or a tux you’re looking for, going in for a fitting right now may not be ideal. But rather than taking the dazzle out of the occasion, book appointments and bide your time. There’s that special feeling that comes with having your squad there when you get your fitting done, You can still experience it once the restrictions are relaxed.
Don’t feel bad
The truth is that no one expected that the pandemic would change life as we know it. But you cannot let it put you down, this is still a full-blown wedding you are planning, so treat it that way. Take everything that comes your way with a stride and adjust as much as you can. That’s the ultimate way to keep your big day special.
