This year has been a really strange one for any people planning a wedding. Some of you managed to get in just in time, before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, when lockdown was announced in March and suddenly every wedding for the next year was up in the air. It has been a terribly stressful time for many, and with weddings permitted again but with severely restricted numbers, there has been an increase in the number of engaged couples looking to elope in 2020 instead of having the traditional wedding that they might have originally planned. You can still get suited up, find the perfect wedding dress and look your best for your wedding day, but why not elope to do so and cement your love with the chance to party at some point in the future when this is all over?
It is an incredibly frustrating time for any couple that are engaged and trying to plan a wedding. With the Covid restrictions on all weddings currently and the uncertainty surrounding so many aspects of life it can be really hard to make a decision on what you should do for your own wedding. Should you postpone or elope? Most couples that traditionally elope, do so because they want to help cut the cost of the wedding. It can cost much less in total to elope and not have to worry about the high cost of big wedding parties with loads of guests. There are costs that can run into the thousands that include the hiring of the wedding venue, the wedding food and the entertainment, music and other factors that make for a great wedding party.
If you do decide to elope, it doesn’t mean that you have to forego some of the essential aspects of a wedding that we all know and love. As a bride to be, you can still find a bridal boutique that allows you to experience the joy of finding your perfect wedding dress (and you might even have a few more pounds to play with because you’re not paying out on loads of other aspects of the wedding!). Finding your perfect wedding dress is a great way to maintain that special feel to a perfect wedding day.
If you are engaged and in the midst of planning your wedding, you might be considering a few different options due to Covid-19 and the massive changes that have been made to weddings across the land. Whatever you decide to do, whether it is to elope this year and get married in a more intimate setting with just you and your loved one, or wait it out and go for the big wedding with all of your family and friends some time in 2012, make sure that you are looking your very best. With the Covid wedding rules, it is no surprise that more people are eloping than ever before, but there are still key parts of the wedding planning process that you can get joy from, including finding the perfect bridal gown and wedding suit for you as a couple.
