Prepare for Your Wedding After Lockdown
Has your wedding been rescheduled several times due to the Coronavirus pandemic? You’re certainly not the only one. Couples up and down the country have been forced to re-book their entire day order for their loved ones to attend. Although you may be apprehensive about planning your wedding due to the unprecedented situation, it would be a good idea to start thinking about some of the aspects you can control so you can look forward to tying the knot. Although the date and number of guests may still be up in the air, the following pointers should help you get your wedding planning started:
1. Wedding gift list
Although the gift list may be the last thing on your mind, it is one of the aspects that does need consideration. Of course, these items you ask for will be highly dependent on your current needs and wants concerning whether you’re looking to move into your first home together or are already set up in your own place. There are many independent gift list services online to browse through. On the other hand, some couples ask for money towards a honeymoon – it is your call.
2. Hair and make-up trials
In relation to COVID-19 rules and regulations, it is impossible to book hair and make-up appointments at the current stage. You may have an idea of the style you’re looking to go for, so why not experiment with your own hair and make-up to get a feel of the look you’re going for? There are plenty of tutorials online to try your hand at, determine what suits you, and be a really helpful factor in selecting wedding hair and make-up styles.
3. Online shopping
For the time being, wedding fairs and events are out of the question due to the current restrictions, so you may need to purchase most of the supplies online. When it comes to buying bridesmaid dresses, for example, it would be best to speak in a group chat to discuss the style, colour, and fit they’re happy to wear beforehand. It’s easy for an Indian wedding to buy suitable wedding Asian clothing online in a range of colours and sizes. Showing your bridesmaids pictures of your preferences will ensure there are no disputes later down the line.
4. Venues and suppliers
As a result of weddings being cancelled left, right, and centre, you may find that some of your ideal venues are fully booked for the year ahead. Therefore, now would be the best time to arrange a date and decide on a venue. Many venues are now offering virtual tours online, so you can see what it has to offer and make an immediate booking, should you wish to. It would also be wise to research suppliers and make arrangements as soon as possible after booking the venue.
Do remember that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed when planning your wedding. Living in such an unprecedented time is enough of a burden without a wedding’s additional stress; however, make arrangements slowly and carefully will ensure your big day is planned to perfection.
