Just Said Yes December 2020

Couples getting married on December 5, 2020 or have just had a wedding?

Hi everyone just wanted to know how December 2020 wedding are doing because am over here feeling so stressed. So we are in Florida and having our wedding close to Fort Lauderdale. We were going to have it this month (October) but pushed it to December and with the Covid going back up i spoke to my fiance about pushing it again but he does not want to. Our list went from 90 to 47 people for a big venue which is fine since we have to be distant. I wanted to do 1 maid of honor and 2 bridesmaids but he has more friends so it was hard for him to pick so we decide to do just the maid of honor and best man. Unfortunately we are not sure if the best man will be able to make it that day as he is in the army and he has already asked if he can take that day and they have not responded to his request. So we are in the air i don't know what to do if to add the bridesmaids or not. One of my friends who just had a beautiful baby girl last month, would be my bridesmaid but i am wondering if it would be too much for her right now. I have not bought the dresses for my maid of honor or flower girl yet since i want to make sure the dresses are all the same color (Emerald green). The venue is already mostly decorated all we would need to do is put the flower center pieces and decorate the table for my fh and i. My mother thinks i should hire someone to decorate but Is it worth it hiring someone for that? On top decorator's charge 600+ which i would be paying for. Is a bridal shower a must? I know a lot of people have not been working so i had asked my mother and my maid of honor not to do a bridal shower, did not want to be an extra expense for anyone, but they think i should have one. I just honestly don't know what to do anymore.

Should i start buying the dresses now or should i wait till we know how many people we are having for bridesmaid?

Makeup and hair for bridesmaid/ maid of honor do we pay for that or do they?

I wanted to know if it's rude to do temperature checks on the guest as they arrive?


If you just had a wedding what was it like with covid? Did you have any specific safety measure for your guest? During the dance were people spread? Were you able to dance with your guest?


Thank you

    Usually the Maid of honor will purchase her own dress and the flower girls parents will purchase her dress. Of course if you wanna provide that for them that’s great too. As far as makeup and hair, if you are REQUIRING that they get it professionally done, then you would have to pay for it. If it’s optional, then no.
    As far as covid goes, I don’t think it’s rude to do temperature checks. I don’t know how effective it is since not everyone with covid gets a fever. We just had our wedding and We provided masks, but most people walked in with their own. We provided hand sanitizers as favors (they were cute). There was hand sanitizer all over the venue. I will say, people get careless as the night continues and the drinks begin. Majority of people walked in with the mask and wore it during the ceremony, but ended up taking it off later. There was dancing but our dance floor was fairly large and we could maintain distance.

    Hi Amanzano014! I'm sorry you've been dealing with so much wedding stress!

    First I'd figure out your bridesmaids situation. Since the best man's schedule depends on the army I wouldn't wait on his final decision (especially because it could change!), and would go ahead and ask your bridesmaids. (And let your friend with a newborn know she can pass if that's too much right now!) Then I'd get those dressed ordered once you've locked down your bridal party! 👗

    Like Alma said - if you are requiring your bridesmaids to have professional hair and makeup done then that is a service you would pay for. But you can make it optional as well and share the pricing with your bms but leave the decision up to them! 💄

    I don't think it's rude to do temperature checks on your guests as they arrive, but I would add that information to your wedding website or a details card so your guests know what to expect! (And those extra safety measures might help a few of your guests who are on the fence decide to attend!) Here's a helpful post from a recently married bride who detailed all the safety precautions they took at their wedding: Our covid precautions - No one got sick!, and you can see more recent WeddingWire weddings here: Last Week's Wedding Photos.
