July Brides

View Quoted Comment This is great info, I’m a 6/27 bride. We switched dates to 9/6 since it’s still available. Did you get all your vendors to move? My photographer wants to charge $900 to move the date because it’s “too soon” to call. Everyone else was super cool.

My wedding is July 11th also and I live in NY, so far it doesn’t look good at all, but we are also trying to wait it out and hopefully things get better.

So far all of original vendors have been supportive and available (luckily), but there have been a few fees and adjustments along the way. We had a similar situation with our photographer. She asked us for a new deposit for the new date ($400 if we committed to the new date by last weekend, $800 if we waited). As a compromise. we asked if she would deduct it from our original package instead of charge it as an extra fee if government restrictions were in place on July 11th. She agreed to that, so it is up in the air if we get that back or not at this point. We will also be paying an additional $300 to our chair and linen rental vendor because they were already booked on our new date and they will need to bring on an extra truck and staff to do our wedding. The extra $300 will pay for the additional staff, truck, gas, etc. We also needed to make some changes with the DJ. The individual DJ we had booked was not available on the new date, so we are using a different DJ from the same company, and as far as I know there will not be an additional fee.

I'm July 10th, and I've already rescheduled for next year. Right now most vendors are allowing you to reschedule free of charge and without losing your deposit. If you wait too long, they might not honor that. Better to be safe then sorry!

Hey Stephanie!

Our wedding date is July 25th & it's a destination wedding! We are waiting until May 1st to make determinations because most of the planning is done and most of our guests have purchased their flight & room accommodations. I think it's important to note that China's quarantine period was about 2 months ( although we have higher cases ). I'm hoping that'll be the course this takes in the US. I am considering creating a plan B in order to be ready in the event we are not back to normality. Like most of the brides I'm just crossing my fingers.

To all 2020 brides, remember the date can change, the location can change but our significant other and their support during this process is what matters! Your wedding celebration doesn't indicate the success in your marriage...Let that sink in!

My wedding was originally going to be in Vegas on October 9, 2020. Due to planning and family issues and such we moved it to July 25, 2020 at home in CT. Way earlier than I wanted but my father is paying for our wedding since it is being held at home and we got a discount for the date from the venue. I am already half booked (deposits down for venue, caterer, and florist, dress is bought, save-the-dates sent out) and was making plans to meet with bartender and bakery, which of course got postponed due to all of this. I feel really bad for those having weddings now or in May, but I cannot help but freak out about mine since July is still a ways out. My invitations came in the mail this past week and I have zero clue when I am going to send them out. Everyone's saying Oh now is a great time to plan while you are home but to be honest I have no motivation as I have no clue if my wedding will even happen. So it's nice to hear from other July brides who are feeling the same way.

I'm July 12th, and I'm still going forward with the planning.

Oh god I'm in the same situation. My wedding is July 17th and we are waiting it out. My fiance and I will have a big talk mid April. Which will also entail calling our vendors. Good luck.

View Quoted Comment I so appreciate this info. Good luck to you.

We're scheduled for July 31st. The date is important- my late father's birthday, we lost him in 2018- so rescheduling for another date later in the year would be heartbreaking, cutting the guest list down to 10 people (including the priest, photographer and musician!) isn't feasible, and moving it a whole year doesn't seem doable. I'm trying to hold out hope that this won't be a problem in July, but my anxiety about it all is off the charts. We're in VA, so the stay-at-home order is through June 10th. I'm hoping and praying it's back to normal by then (or sooner!!!).

View Quoted Comment Hey Sabina !


My wedding is also scheduled for July 25th! I feel like that date is perfect . That’s my fear as well, that July will roll along and everything will be sorta okay. We started looking at back up dates just in case !
Good luck and hopefully everything is back to normal by our original date

Thanks Virdiana,

Good luck to you as well!!

Lets just keep hoping and praying we won't have to postpone!!!

I’m July 3. So far we are waiting and watching. Ours is relatively small, 50ish guests. If we have to move it, I still want to be married on the 3rd; then have a party when we can.

Hi ladies, I’m July 3rd and officially postponed to September 3rd, 2021. I’m still heartbroken and emotional but it’s for the best. Good luck to everyone ❤️

July third here, as of now we’re still having it and waiting for the end of April to make a decision.

View Quoted Comment Thanks, same to you!

View Quoted Comment Lots of love to you! ❤

I am July 25th and I am holding out. I won't start trying to change plans until June.

I'm July 11 as well and still tentatively keeping our plans. Our engagement photos were planned for March or April and our May 4th wedding shower is postponed to June. Fingers crossed and stay inside!

Our wedding is July 18th! We we’re waiting until the end of May. It’s a “semi destination” wedding lol in NOLA. We live in TN, but I know New Orleans is having a really hard time right now.
