2021 brides and Covid-19

Mine is in June 2021. My state has been one of the heaviest hit but we’re already starting to reopen. I think after the holidays people will have to start realizing that we’re just going to have to live our lives and hope for the best. I’m not too worried about my June wedding and neither are any of my vendors including my wedding planner. People are already talking about a second wave and all of this has happened in roughly 3 to 4 months time frames. I cannot see this lasting all the way through summer of 2021. I’m hoping for the best.

View Quoted Comment That’s what my FH says. If you don’t mind me asking how big of a guest list are you planning for?

I've been planning for April 2021 since before the pandemic started. I am a bit worried. My state is just starting to re-open, but they're still making people wear masks and keep 6 feet apart. I know that our wedding (~160 guests) couldn't possibly work as planned under those circumstances. The worst part is the lack of information. I keep hearing that "2021 brides just have to wait and see," which makes me feel really helpless. We haven't started making back-up plans with vendors, but we would probably do a micro-wedding if it came to it.

Mine is June 2021 and I live in I believe the hardest hit city in one of the hardest hit neighborhoods but we’re reopening and our numbers decrease daily. I already had the talk with my fiancé that whatever happens next year June we are getting married as planned at our venue even if it’s just us and 10 other ppl and he completely agrees. I had to realize that it’s a good chance covid will be apart of our lives just like the seasonal flu. So there’s no outrunning it just adapting to a new way of life. Id rather get married however I can on my date than keep postponing and prolonging that fear and anxiety because it can take a toll. I do feel confident that venues and vendors will have protocols in place to safely host weddings and offer wedding services. It sucks but 2020 weddings have become the test drive year for venues and vendors to figure out what works and what doesn’t. So by 2021 I believe us as people will be properly equipped to live our lives normally amongst covid with minor adjustments and the same for venues. I think it’s mostly about embracing our new way of life and once that’s achieved you feel less fearful of what’s to come.

Mine is February 2021 and although I'm 50/50, we've the state has been reopening more so I'm definitely trying to stay hopeful. We've had to move our date twice already (other reasons than covid) and we would just really hate to have to change it again so we'll be moving forward and just hope for the best.

A few weeks ago, I officially finished booking everything having to do with the wedding, and now I only have small details left in planning. My wedding is Feb. 2021, and I was literally panicking a few weeks back that we're gonna have to postpone, that no one was going to be at our wedding, but after a lot of advice from the people here and by talking with my best friend and my fiancee, I'm more comfortable with wedding planing in general.

View Quoted Comment We also have a large guest count. I’m mainly worried about whether my vendors will be accommodating if I need to change.

View Quoted Comment Lol so we initially said only 65 people. That turned into 110 we are now at 90-95 total and we are very happy with that.

View Quoted Comment Lol that’s around the same amount we have

We just postponed from 10/10/20 to 10/2/21 for reasons specific to our Vegas destination wedding plans (amidst the pandemic, protests and overall madness of 2020). I wasn’t “nervous” since there was time to postpone and we only have 65 guests. But it was ultimately a better plan in our situation.

I’m not going to feel better until this thing is gone! My wedding is 4-10-21. My FH and I have discussed that if things don’t clear up by then, we’re ok with pushing the date back to the Fall of 2021. Mainly because we have a big guest list and most of them are older. We don’t want anyone to not feel comfortable. I’m still going forward with planning but I will admit that this added worry in the back of my head is very unsettling.

August 2021 bride here. I'm also nervous about there still being some restrictions in place next year, but we're moving forward with planning and remaining hopeful.

Mine is in October 2021 it is later, and I think we should be okay. but I can't help but still be a bit nervous about restrictions due to Covid-19. I don't think I'll be truly comfortable until Covid is history.

My wedding is July 18, 2021. We booked our venue end of January. I started booking the bulk of my vendors once quarantine happened because I was afraid the vendors I wanted would get booked up from all the rescheduling brides. I have all vendors booked except hotels, transportation, and my dress. But I am nervous about COVID still being an issue as well. I live in CT, just 30min from NY, so we and my family/friends all are in the tri-state area where it has been hit the hardest. But I know we have to move forward right now and hope for the best. I just keep thinking, it is still over a year away, it just HAS to be better by then! I can't imagine having my wedding and everyone wearing masks! But no one knows. I'm not looking forward to have to try on dresses with a mask, and the restricted number of people allowed to go with you. Shops I looked into are allowing anywhere from just 1 other person to 3 people max to come with you, and all wearing masks. Kind of defeats the purpose of seeing everyone's facial expressions and mine when I find the dress. But there is no way around it right now. I am thinking of looking in August - so hopefully some restrictions lift a bit by then. I try to think positively that if I only have to go through dress searching with a mask, I'd be thrilled!! Just please let the wedding be mask and COVID free!
