Motivation

Aw i am sorry to hear.

i am not a covid bride but i am MOH for a covid bride and she pretty much is telling me she's just putting some stuff off til the situation feels better but she's still enthusiastic and hopeful that things will be ok

October bride too. I wanted to elope in the first place, but my fiancé wanted to celebrate with family. I just randomly do wedding things- I mean eventually I’ll need the signs and bouquets right? We are still planning on getting married in October (we always were planning a backyard wedding). We are hoping if not all 90 guests are allowed, at least 50. We’ll even save about 3K with just 50 guests. Anything less than 50 we will probably just go an intimate original day and a celebration later next year.

Girl I totally know how you feel! October bride here and I'm in the same boat and don't feel motivated at all. My girls also don't have their dresses yet. They ordered them back in Feb/March through Davids Bridal and they are still yet to be found. I haven't even thought about what the guys are going to wear. I still need to design and order my invites, but it's hard getting motivated too. My maid of honor hasn't even asked how I'm doing, just my family, and we're all just trying to stay positive. We're still planning to get married this fall no matter what, even if it's in the backyard.

It’s extremely hard for me to find motivation at the moment with quarantine and anxiety of what’s going to happen after quarantine, my fiancé is in Afghanistan and we aren’t sure when he’s going to be home, my family is driving me crazy and I’m helping my neighbor homeschool her kids. So throughout all of this my only motivation is knowing that I am going to marry the man of my dreams and begin a life that I have never thought I could live. That’s usually how my motivation starts. I wish you the best and I am beyond sure that you are going to be a beautiful amazing bride

July bride. I’m over it. I have zero motivation to plan.


Our wedding planner wants us to wait a month before deciding if we will postpone. We have cut down the guest list and now I just feel like it’s a waiting game. It’s hard to get excited about something that may not happened this year 😕

I am you...we are the same bride 😊. Guys don't have suits, girls are no where to be found, and I'm just blah about the entire wedding due to covid-19.

It’s so hard to plan things with such uncertainty. Stores are closed so we can’t go and try things on, can’t meet with vendors, can’t do tastings. I’m honestly just praying that things open up in the summer and I can rush plan for my November wedding! You’re not alone!

Getting married 11/13/20 and I feel the same way! Was planning almost everyday (or thinking about the wedding everyday) up until lockdown. Now I try not to think about or plan because it just puts me in a mood. Agreed, every little detail that you thought you needed doesn't really seem all that important or necessary anymore. Me & FH are still deciding whether to cancel all together (before our 2nd payment) or postpone. CA seems to have strict guidelines but we'll see more down the road. You're not alone in this thinking! All the best!! ❤

Getting married in October and I’m still hopeful we’ll be able to have our intimate wedding. Part of me is nervous though. I feel inspired & excited when I see new ideas pop up on Pinterest. I’m also excited to get my dress. Idk that’s just where I’m at.

I'm in Phoenix, and they have just lifted restrictions this week. My wedding is October 10th at the zoo. I am mostly finished with the planning; I just need the cake, the flowers and alterations for my dress. I'm ordering my invitations through Minted; we need to choose a design. I think my state relaxed the restrictions too soon, so I'm nervous that everything might get shut down again. I hate the uncertainty.

Luckily I had most everything planned out before this whole started. Hopefully it still pans out. I haven't done anything since pandemic. Sort of lost my motivation not to mention working in health care and I have had so much stress lately. I guess I am just trying to have a plan B in case it is needed but not waste my time and also know in my heart what is most important to me. The uncertainty stinks. Cheers to all of you too I am sending all good vibes to all of us. I hope things work out for the best.

Thank you ladies! We are all in this together. Praying and sending good vibes for all you beautiful humans!

This is tough. it is usually at 4 months out that women order gowns, a little lass for some, because they usually take only 2-8 weeks to come in. And BM hate to order early and change sizes, paying a few hundred in alterations for a dress that only costs $100-300 to begin with. and mens things are not ordered til 2-3 months, normally. I don't think it is not caring. Just that after all the time since being asked, it is usually in the last 4.5 months that WP needs to do things. and I think everyone is pretty much paralysed. Not wanting to start putting out money for things that may not happen . Understandable, but I am so sorry for you. All the work, all the planning, this is when you usually suddenly get a lot of support from your ladies, finally their time to do things, and everybody is worried about doing anything in a group. Anything in public. Very disheartening for all of you. We only had a 5 month engagement, nothing planned before 4.5 months out. and planned a full formal wedding, venue to vows, in 4.5 months, with name maker gowns, and all the things we really wanted. You are already well underweigh. It can be done, in the short time you have, and done well.
If you only knew where you stood. My heart goes out to you.
