Hi all! I know we’re all stressed about the virus situation and the affect it’s having on our weddings. We have a backup plan for our June 6th wedding. I really hope we still get to have the wedding we’ve planned for. Unfortunately, my fiancé’s brother and his family in New York are pretty certain things aren’t going to clear up in time and they obviously wouldn’t be comfortable coming with things staying as bad (or getting worse) as they already are. I don’t blame them, especially since they will be traveling with three young kids.
Anyway, whether or not we have our full wedding depends upon whether they can and if the vendors will still come. We’re giving it until mid-April to decide what to do. If we can’t have our wedding, we plan to have a small ceremony with immediate other family and friends on our original date, then a ceremony either in the fall (hopefully) or 1 year after for a vow renewal.
My question is...what is the etiquette of wearing your dress?! I want to wear my dress at our small ceremony because that’s when we’re getting married and the ceremony/actual marriage is more important to me than the party. However, I also want to get to show it off for as long as I can (ha). I love my dress and just want to wear it all day! 😆
Also, I’m only going to pay to have my hair and makeup done once, and again, I’d rather use that for the ceremony itself.
My thinking is I’ll just get a pretty, simpler dress for the reception/vow renewal and get all prettied up for the ceremony, even if that means I’m only showing it off for a little while and to a handful of people.
I know this is a first-world concern but really, I just love my dress so much and you only get to do this once. Lol.
What do you all think? What are your plans for those who are doing a small ceremony and later reception?
