View Quoted Comment We move our date from June 13 so August 22. I am glad we’re able to have it on the same venue. We are able to get the same photographer. But I think we are losing our videographer. At this point in time, I don’t mind getting another videographer. I also lost my hairstylist. But all I have to do is find another one. The DJ was supposed to have a wedding for that day. Good thing, he got canceled And we were able to get him back. Hanging in there ladies. It will be over soon.

View Quoted Comment Hi Mary,


I’m sorry that you & your daughter are going through this tough time. My wedding was scheduled for June 6th and I ended up postponing until later this year. Since no one knows when this will be better, I would suggest just holding onto the date but start brainstorming backup plans. If the venue isn’t available until next year, maybe have your daughter start looking at different venues. She might be able to use all her same vendors (photographer, videogrpaher, etc.) besides the venue if she starts looking and putting dates on hold now. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, just remember to try and be safe for you & your guest who might be compromised at the gathering. I hope all works for you & your daughter!!! I really do. I know how tiring, confusing & frustrating this can be. Just stay well & healthy 🥰

Hi Ladies, since I’m the one who started this discussion board I thought it was only fair to give an update. Showers have been rescheduled to August, bachelorette to September, and our June 6th wedding has officially been postponed to October. It was a TOUGH decision to make, especially because no one knows if anything will be better for any of the dates I just listed. My fiancé and I decided we’re going to try one last time before we resort our last plan- that would be having a very intimate wedding (whatever social distancing rules allow) and live streaming the ceremony. Luckily, all of our vendors were available so it was an easy transition. Minted offered 75% off for our Change the Dates and Zazzle did free re prints of our wedding invitations! I’m keeping all you brides in my thoughts and prayers- I know this is a difficult time but please try to stay healthy & stay positive. XO

I am clinging to hope for my June 6th wedding after moving it once. Restrictions are lifting here and I am trying to come up with creative ways to modify the event to avoid “serving” to eliminate any residual fears. It will be a small intimate wedding with those closest with streaming options for those further away or at risk! I feel like I have annoyed my vendors to death!

View Quoted Comment I know that’s one thing I felt uncomfortable about, I kept having to email my vendors but it’s their job and it’s a hard time for everyone! I really Hope June 6th works out for you!

I have been checking this post daily to see what other June 6 brides are doing, and I still haven't come to a full decision yet. I have been engaged for 2 years now, and my fiance and I are graduating in May. Our graduation was canceled and it is devastating because we will be dentists and have been in school for 20+ years and will have no celebration to end it. So I was hoping our Chicago wedding would be a great time for a celebration. But I just don't know what to expect. I have 120 people expecting to attend, and my venue keeps saying that plan to be in full swing on June 1st. I don't really believe them, but I also refuse to move my date, and I won't use the same venue if I can only have 50 people. I have been looking into having an intimate destination wedding in Santa Fe, NM, but again, still not sure what phase we will be in. I am missing out on so many experiences and celebrations (no wedding shower or bachelorette party, no graduation) that I want to be selfish and still have my wedding. The uncertainty and inability to control this has caused many tears every night.

I'm getting married on June 20th in Vegas. My venue told me two days ago they plan on being open on May 1st...so I am still holding out hope that we can still go. We know some might cancel...but we are ok with that. I changed the wedding favors and I am making masks that are embroidered with our names and date and then a picture as we are doing a themed wedding. My hope is that if people know there will be masks there..they might feel better about attending, but I still struggle with the idea that we might be putting them in danger too...I'm hoping that since it is 2 months away yet, this thing will have died down...all we can do is wait and see.

We ended up postponing to next May. Our wedding is in Sioux Falls, SD the current hotspot so there is no chance things will be better there by then.

June 6th brides, I’m in MS and was seriously considering moving my wedding back until the end of June, but after talking to my venue there are assuring me they plan on being open June 1. They are looking at new ways to serve food and the best way to set everything up. I’m so hopeful to have my wedding of 125 people June 6. I know some guests may feel the need to cancel, but with me and my fiancés jobs, postponing just isn’t our favorite option. Please keep this post updated with what y’all are doing bc I’m in desperate need of advice

Hi! My date is May 30 and we are still moving forward! Our plan is to make a decision at the end of April. We are going to get married on May 30 regardless, but are trying to figure out exactly what that will look like / if we will do a reception at a later date. We have postponed by bachelorette party and bridal shower, and plan to do them after this all calms down even though it will be after the wedding. There are no rules!!

View Quoted Comment Ugh, I’m sorry to hear all this is happening to you. Congratulations on your graduation, how awesome! I don’t know what you will decide to do but I postponed my wedding 6 months out. I think that decision was a little easier for me to make because it wasn’t a significant amount of time. I really hope that you get to have your full wedding with all the people you love. Sending positive vibes!

I live in CA. My wedding is June 28. I emailed the venue asking about postponing and when they called me back they said they’re not postponing June weddings yet. They are waiting for the governor’s conference at the end of the month to make the decision. Everything was pretty much set except my dress being altered, sending the invitations, and making the table seating. I think best case scenario is that we would have 100 guests instead of our original 200.

Mother of the bride here! Just stopping by to commiserate and seek answers like this is a magic 8-ball. Lol. My daughter’s wedding is set for 6/6 in Kentucky. Venue still holding out and advised not to cancel/postpone just yet as they are hopeful we can continue as planned. Our deposit was $1500 so I hate to lose it. We just don’t know what to do or how to plan. We are very worried, that even if it can go forward, that no one will come. All of our side are out of state and would be traveling in for it. Not to mention the worry about grandparents/elderly either missing it or getting sick as a result. I know no one has answers. Just wanted to tell you sweet brides that you’re not alone. We’re all in this sad, scary, disappointing boat.

My wedding is scheduled for August in Maryland. I have come to the realistic realization it is not happening. Sure my venue is holding out hope and refuses to let me cancel until our Governor says it won't be allowed. But honestly, its basically May..Maryland is seeing more cases. The phases were laid out and Maryland will not be in Phase III by August. I have several friends and family members in the healthcare system and they said things will not be normal again and weddings will not be occurring this summer and possibility until next year. I can't see the state allowing my wedding of 200 people to happen. I am waiting patiently to cancel my wedding with my current venue to find a new one.

View Quoted Comment I completely understand this! My life has been literal hell the past few years and finally I was going to have something good happen. We weren’t going to have a wedding because we didn’t want to inconvenience anyone but finally decided that we deserved to have a day for us. I don’t want to move my date and I don’t want to miss out on all this stuff that I only get to do once and I cry several times a day over it at this point

I’m so sorry you’ve had to cancel so many things. It’s so heartbreaking. The president wants things to start opening up again May 1. Of course this up to

My wedding is booked for 5/29/21 but we are strongly considering cancelling and just eloping or something so that we dont get too far in the planning process to where we are unable to get deposits back. Its not worth the risk to me. we will likely just have a big reception later when its safe.

My original wedding date was June 20, and my venue let me pick an alternative date of August 7. I knew June wasn't going to happen ( I live in Los Angeles), and the August date just didn't sit right with me because I felt forced into picking any available date. I haven't even had my bridal shower or bachelorette in Vegas, so that's playing a big role in my decision as well. I've been playing different scenarios since mid March , and I have finally had time to process everything logically rather than emotionally (LOTS OF CRYING). After talking it out with family, some BMs, and even brides here on wedding wire, I have decided to reschedule for 2021 which is something I originally did NOT want to do. I want to be able to have my shower and my Bach in Vegas, and I don't see how Vegas will happen in July if my wedding was moved to August. Also, WH task force Deborah Brix said we will most likely be social distancing through summer, and I don't want my guests having to wear masks or not wanting to dance! I am hoping for the same date next year, June 20, 2021 (which is a Sunday and cheaper!), just waiting for my venue to confirm. BUT, I feel REALLY good about this decision. It will allow my fiancé and I to buy a house this year and keep saving money for our wedding which I think will be bigger and better than ever! I hope you find a silver lining throughout all this! I know it sucks so bad, but once you commit to a decision, it's such a weight lifted off. I even feel happier and in a much better mood!
