When and How to Reschedule a Wedding
As Mr. Vondy and I worked at our dinning room table, drinking blackberry tea, listening to the rare Los Angeles rain, writing emails and a guide to help our couples navigate this tricky time, it occurred to me, what a historical period this will be to have lived through. That doesn’t make it easier in this moment, but it sometimes is is important to reflect on the good when there’s so much negativity surrounding us.
The coronavirus has put us all in an uncomfortable position, to say the least. It’s a lot to navigate. With new news and regulations being announced daily, it’s hard to know what to do when it comes to your wedding.
Not sure if it’s time to postpone your wedding? Maybe you’re already strongly considering rescheduling your wedding. Perhaps you’re in the middle of jumping through the hoops or just don’t know how to even start. Regardless of where you are, we are so, so sorry. We know you’ve spent so much time planning this milestone event, we can only imagine how devastating, frustrating and infuriating this is for you.
As a business who strive to help our couples have the most stress free and wonderful wedding day possible, this is hard to watch! After feeling a bit helpless, we realized there is something we can do! We’ve actually experienced weddings being postponed from fires and deaths in families, so we thought, let’s put that into a guide to help our couples! But we could do even better… we could share this guidance with so many more of you! So that’s what we’re doing.
Since we are getting new and up to date information everyday, we will be revising the guide and will notify you with changes as well!
This was compiled quickly so we could help as many people as possible, so if you’ve experienced something while rescheduling or have any additional tips, tricks or just see a typo, please let us know and we’ll revise it for another couple!
WHEN TO RESCHEDULE?
updated in March 2020
Original March/April Dates
What To Do: Postpone :(
All of our March/April weddings have rescheduled their weddings. We are so sorry, we can only imagine how hard this is for you. To help, we suggest getting our Rescheduling Guide above to help you get through this as easily as possible. You’re day is going to be amazing whenever you decide to have it!
Original May Dates
What To Do: Postpone :(
If you’re late May, you can wait if you’d like, but most of our May dates have officially opted to reschedule their weddings. We know this is a tough decision, but after our couples made this decision they actually feel much more at peace now having a plan in place. Plus, if your wedding is mid-late May, with everything most likely closed until then, it will be so hard to get your suit rental or dress fittings. Get our tips in our Rescheduling Guide above to help! We promise you’re wedding day will still be amazing no matter what!
Original June Dates
What To Do: Monitor until April 1; Prepare with our pre-postponement tips in our guide to get ahead
As of now, as hard as it is, we’d advise you sit tight! We know it’s SO frustrating not having a plan, but unfortunately, no one has answers for at least a few more weeks. You can pre-plan for a potential reschedule with the tips in our Rescheduling Guide. We will also email you with up-to-date rescheduling news as we receive it!
Original July/August Dates
What To Do: Monitor until May 1; Prepare with our pre-postponement tips in our guide to get ahead
For now, all of our July/August weddings are “a go”! We’re keeping our fingers and toes crossed that these weddings won’t be disturbed and this whole Corona mess will be behind us. If you’re worried, we totally understand. Go ahead and download our Rescheduling Guide to pre-plan for a potential reschedule. We will email you with up to date rescheduling information!
Original September Dates and On
What To Do: Proceed and monitor
Let’s sure hope that by the time fall comes, this whole Coronavirus will be a distant memory! We recommend keep moving forward with your wedding planning as best you can.
IMPORTANT! If you haven’t hired all of your wedding vendors yet, vendor’s fall schedules are filling faster than ever! We booked 2 fall 2020 weddings this week, so we highly recommend using this time to virtually meet with your vendors asap! We still have October wedding dates available and we’d love to chat with you if you’re in need of a photographer! Contact us to set up a free meeting!
Our hearts are heavy for those who are strongly affected by COVID-19. We are so thankful for our medical workers and thinking of the elderly and immune compromised and anyone else who need extra love and support. It's a scary and uncertain time for everyone. But you need not feel alone.
We are all in this together. Everyone. And we will get through it together.
If you're worried about your upcoming wedding, nervous about where your next paycheck will come from, wondering when grocery stores will go back to normal again, or maybe just feeling a bit unsure of what to do with yourself, we're here for you. Feel free to reach out anytime. We’re just an email away.
