August and September weddings 2020

We moved our June wedding to August. We're from NY too. I feel pretty confident by then things will calm down but my guest list is also under 50 people. Lots to think about! Good luck I'm sure it will work out.

View Quoted Comment We are “fingers crossed” getting married in Philadelphia in September. I’m freaking out! Where are you getting married? We were going to decide in early July, but since we are still on lock down to June 4th I can’t imagine will have a better idea but July 1st.

View Quoted Comment We’re getting married at Union Trust. You? The uncertainty is killing me. I would like to make a decision now but it looks like we’ll have to wait it out a little longer to make a decision.

I was planning as scheduled then was told by a 3rd party that our venue was cancelling all events/rentals from now til-Sept 30th. I'm beyond devastated and angry that I haven't heard a single word from our venue; and now we might have to reschedule after getting all the invitations and reassuring other vendors. I did look on the venues website to fact check. But this just doesn't make sense as our state is opening up and our date is 4 months away. Why cancel it when there is the potential to still have it?!

I live in kansas so cases here arent as much as other places. Our date is September 6, 2020. We decided to cancel our venue and scale down our guest list and plan to marry on our date. We are now having a backyard wedding. Now number of ppl will depend on how many we are allowed to have at that time for gatherings in our state. Right now only 10 so we have that list ready. We have a list ready for 50 and a list ready for 90 when our date gets closer. We arent going to finalize bookings until we know for sure number of ppl. We wont do that till a month b4. Ughhhh! That's so frustrating!!! For the ppl who we sent save the dates to we I'll send out web invitations so they can watch the ceremony in the comfort of their own home. We will also provide health bags with mask and hand sanitizer so those who are invited to come will feel more comfortable and secure.

View Quoted Comment Buffalo NY. The uncertainty is a disappointment on its own😥

I can totally relate. We are scheduled to get married on Sept 26, 2020. I go back and forth with my emotions. Some days I'm so down and frustrated because I feel like I cant get get excited about it or even finish up wedding planning because we really just dont know what to expect. My FH and I already planned a smaller wedding (50) to begin with and we really just wanted to have a simple and beautiful wedding. Theres so much outpouring from people saying to postpone it and such. We wanted to keep the date because it is our actual anniversary. Anyways, I've just been taking it day by day and moving forward with the wedding until I am notified otherwise by government. Best wishes to all brides going this. I'm so glad that there has been a forum like this to discuss thoughts/feelings regarding this. It feels like when you communicate with people you are close with, they just dont get it. It's not because they dont want to get it but they arent going through it, so it's always great to not feel alone with stuff like this. Best of luck to all the summer/fall 2020 brides!! ❤

You are not alone! Our wedding is August 15th and I am losing my mind over all this! I’m trying to keep my chin up and hope and pray things are okay for our wedding but I start to worry “what if they tell us we have to reschedule” “what if family can’t make it because of this” “what if we can’t get everything we need for the big day”, currently our bridesmaid dresses are on hold until September and I can’t find anything else to get here in time and that came similar to what the girls had ordered. I’m stressing and freaking out!

You are not alone. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions for me and my fiancé. Our wedding is August 10, 2020 and it’s a destination wedding (Oahu). We live in Washington state and we’re currently in Phase 1 of reopening however we are under stay at home order until May 31. I contacted all of our vendors and coordinator to see if we could have a plan B in case travel restrictions don’t get lifted by June/July. Hoping for the best but there’s just so much uncertainty it’s unbelievable. Hang in there!!

We’re getting married on 8/29/20 and moving forward as planned. We’re having a small wedding though, inviting 60 but planning for 40. I hope we’ll be ok!!!

View Quoted Comment You should be okay! I think you can get creative with a small gathering, even with restrictions. I am envious of brides that can carry on with planning because their weddings are smaller! Good luck!!!

View Quoted Comment Omg yes all the bridal shops are currently closed and we had a appointment scheduled for our bridesmaids to try on there dresses right before all of this! I feel like we might be able to pull this wedding off right in the nick of time. I will be okay with that!!!!🙏🏾

My wedding is scheduled for 8/9 and it was originally supposed to be 5/30. I want the full wedding experience but I don’t want to reschedule again. I’m scared if we do, we will be in the same situation a second time 😏. I’m trying not to think about it until mid-June. I bet there is going to be a cap of 50 people and in that case we will just have family and maybe not have a reception at all.

My wedding is September 19th in Tennessee. We are going ahead with planning as normal. We actually just mailed our invitations today. My FH and I chose to not make contingency plans until we absolutely have to

Hello,

My wedding is scheduled for July 18, at least for now, but not sure what to do either as far as moving the date and when. My fiance and I have been engaged for 1.5 years and are not living together. We are Christians and want to save ourselves for marriage so the road has been a tough one. We just want to be married already, but now we don't know when that's going to happen. Everyone has been telling us to have a small ceremony and to still get married, but since we waited this long it's difficult for me to abandon my dream wedding of having everyone there, but we also do not want to wait another year. I don't know what to do. A part of me says, if I can control when I can get married (for the most part) then I might as well not settle for something I might regret later, especially when I see everyone having large ceremonies again, etc. You're definitely not alone. This is an awful time. I wish you the best though and will say a prayer for you. Fight for what you want! You're not wrong in waiting, it's your day, your memories & your love.

Rachel

Yes this seems feasible if everyone can distance themselves safely

View Quoted Comment Ugh it's so frustrating that your venue isn't being more flexible considering the Governor isn't letting your region start the reopen process yet either. I want to stay optimistic for you! Not being able to work with vendors is the toughest part. Like I didn't even start my alterations process and who knows when we can do that. Kinda hard to stay 6 feet apart when you're doing measurements and such. Hang in there!! Sending as much positivity your way as possible!

View Quoted Comment Hi Desaray- I’m a 9/5/2020 bride from Upstate NY (Syracuse) and going as planned until I hear otherwise! I think the next month will be huge for us and will give us lots of answers! Xoxo

View Quoted Comment My venue has done great job at getting back to me and helping with a refund. It is frustrating that we arent sure how many ppl can be there when it get close to our day. Hopefully it will be all figured out soon. Davids bridal informed me also to wear a mask and I could one bring one person with me to the appointment and they need to wear a mask aslo.

You are definitely not alone! I try to remain optimistic and plan as best as I am in control of. My wedding is not until end of October 2020 but it is a destination wedding so that makes a difference plus I am here in northern New Jersey, this COVID19 has impacted us badly as everyone knows so we have know idea when the lockdown will conclude if anytime soon and when they allow international travels to the Caribbean again. At first I was hesitant with booking flights and even sending the details out but for the consideration and allowing planning for my guests I moved forward with those details at least giving all respectful amount of time since it is a destination wedding. Allow them to make the choice if they are willing to move forward with attending as well. So all I do is stay positive, work on what I am able to and continue to count down to the most important day of my life thus far -Walking down that aisle to my handsome fiancé. Everything will work out!
