Brides who have rescheduled, how did you get the wedding spirit back?

I’m still struggling with this, I keep thinking I’ll care more in 2021. My bridal shower and bachelorette party are planned so I’m hoping that will help.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for sharing, yes maybe having those events to celebrate the upcoming day will do it!

I postponed to 2022. Not gonna lie, I lost almost all excitement towards my wedding for a while once we made the decision. I imagine that more excitement will come back when my new date is closer, but in the meantime, some of the things that have helped me get at least a little bit back are:



1. These forums. I love reading about everyone else's weddings, seeing their pictures, and hearing about their plans.

2. Looking at areas of my wedding where I maybe ran out of time to plan or didn't put much effort in before, and coming up with new ideas! Since we have a lot more time before our new date, I have more time to come up with fun ideas/extras (and more time to save up the money for these ideas) that I wasn't originally planning to incorporate.

3. Not focusing on my wedding for a little bit. Sometimes, taking a short break from wedding thoughts made it a more exciting topic to think about once I did return to wedding planning.

View Quoted Comment Thank you, honestly my dress fitting was not fun at all. I dreaded it and it wasn’t exciting like I planned. Thank you for number 3, I have to remember that it’s okay to feel this way, even if others close to me don’t understand why.

View Quoted Comment It is absolutely OK to feel the way you do! People who haven't had to go through the emotional roller coaster of postponing a wedding sometimes don't understand all the emotions. 2020 has not been a good year for brides. Make sure to add some fun, non-wedding related plans (date night, weekend getaway, spa day with friends, etc) in there as well to help lift your spirits. And on a positive note, now you have more time to figure out everything with your dress! Your wedding will happen, and it will be beautiful!

View Quoted Comment Thank you Lisa, and I will take those suggestions. 😊

It’s been so draining having to replan. Honestly I try to get back in my thinking how I can change things since I’ve chosen a new season. I changed from fall to sting but to be completely honest I just want it to be over because the process has been so stressful

View Quoted Comment Yes! I feel ya, over with and no more wedding worries about will it or won’t it happen.

I definitely lost momentum for about six months. I just allowed myself to feel sad and disappointed. When my fiancée and I decided to move the wedding out 4 months, I felt relieved. Suddenly, this week, it’s has been hitting me that I’m sad about changing my date from a winter to a spring wedding. I haven’t been able to connect to any of the springy wedding colors Bc I never pictured myself having a spring wedding. So, I just let myself be sad. I spoke to some friends about my feelings and they all encouraged me to do whatever I wanted. Today, I heard back from a hotel I’ve been really wanting to book and I’m starting to get excited again. It comes in waves, just ride it. It’s a weird time!

I feel all of this! We were supposed to be married 8.22.20 and postponed to 06.18.21 , and I am not in the mood. At all. I just got back onto wedding wire and that kinda is helping reading all these forums. I may just reach out to vendors to know they are still there lol. I feel like we are already married and I just can't remember anything about the wedding its so weird and sad. I dont know how I feel about moving it from August to June but I'm hoping the excitement will come back soon, and its going to be a beautiful day no matter what. Fingers crossed for everyone here and let's stick together! ❤

View Quoted Comment I will ride it out, thank you! Glad to hear you have a supportive crew. 🥰

View Quoted Comment I feel the same- all of a sudden all the wedding details I was so excited about.. I can’t remember! Hoping that the forums help me too and that when my planner and I review my binder in January it all comes back. ❤️
