Do i need to be prepared to postpone?

Hello


My wedding is further out than yours (August 22nd 2021) but I haven't technically postponed anything for the actually wedding. Now my engagement photos were supposed to be done next month in Chicago along with food and cake tastings now those did get pushed back. I have vendors who arent even accepting deposits on next year because of everything going on so technically u are not late. You have 10mos before your big day so I still think you will have time to get all that done HOPEFULLY at the latest this is all over by August 2020 and you can kick your planning into overdrive

You have 11 months I’d start now and get everything I can in advance. It’s very important to get a head start. You can try to book vendors that you don’t have to necessarily go out and see like flowers, dj and photographer/videographer. You can see their work online. But caterers and venues you pretty much have to go and see/Taste. You can also try on dresses at home and send it back if you don’t like it.

You still have some time so i wouldn’t be too worried. Some venues are still open so possibly could still do a walk through. If not definitely at least still reach out to the vendors to see if they are currently available and at least get pricing so that once everything gets back to normal you can quickly make your decision and put down the deposits to lock everything in

My wedding is also in March of next year. I’ve continued to plan my wedding as if it’s going to happen. I did however have vendors book prior to Covid so my focus now is more so on decor, bridesmaid, things like that. I would say try and plan what you can. When things open back up just go full speed ahead.

My wedding is Feb 2021 and I feel the same as you! I've been waiting to continue planning because I'm worried about the planning process... I have the dress, venue, photographer, and flowers. At this point... I feel like everything else should fall into place. I hope! Good luck!
