Lockdown Wedding Ideas

Millions of couples are facing the harsh reality of having to postpone their weddings due to the impact COVID-19 has all over the world. If you are in limbo of whether to cancel/postpone your wedding, had your wedding postponed or you are looking to plan a wedding we are covering everything here. 

We know this is a global pandemic and it is horrendous to hear of loved ones passing all over the world but it is absolutely ok to feel upset about your wedding day not being what you originally planned. I mean who thought this could ever happen? You probably spent months of planning and maybe even years of wondering and day dreaming of what your special day will be like. 

Now you are faced with lots of changes we want to show you how to begin planning a wedding in lockdown.

Lockdown Wedding Ideas

1. Plan a much smaller intimate ceremony and move your wedding reception to 2021 so you can still get married in front of your family and close friends whilst knowing you get a party a few months later. Now we know it may be hard to choose but your family and friends will completely understand and in a time where everything is digital you can also stream a live video of the ceremony and all your loved ones can toast to the happy couple. I mean who would ever forget that! 

2. Plan a wedding at home. Have a few friends and family join you on your special day and hire a photographer for a few hours, as long as they can keep to social distancing rules you can wear your dream dress/suit and get some beautiful photo's.

If You Have Postponed Your Wedding in the UK

Your date has changed, suppliers moved, travel dates amended, honeymoon rescheduled and once that is all finally over you may start to think what now?

1. Make your wedding breakfast at home. Share a special moment just you and your partner and try to re create what would have been your wedding breakfast on the day that should of been your wedding. It will be lots of fun and a very romantic night in.

2. Get your cake maker to make a mini version of your cake something for you and your partner to enjoy - I mean who would say no to extra cake?

3.Host virtual wedding drinks with your wedding party! Play some games like "MR & MRS" and enjoy a few drinks. I am sure you are missing lots of friends and family so it's a great way to e-meet. 

4. The Countdown begins! Whilst your new wedding day countdown begins why not start a wedding journal, keep an eye on the latest trends, do a little diy for your table centres. You will probably have a lot more time than you thought for lots of last minute extra special touches to make your day very unique. 

Your friends and family will be so excited to begin counting down to your new wedding day so whilst planning a wedding during lockdown can be difficult there is lot's to look forward to. We do not know when weddings will be able to resume in UK but what we do know is there is always a way to make sure you get your special day.
