July Brides

View Quoted Comment

We were May 24th, too - I loved that date! It felt pretty much perfect with the day after being a holiday, and feeling like you had a couple of rest / weekend days leading up to the big day. Ours is now 7/25 - hopefully! We were going to do 7/11 but by the time I got my fiancee onboard to move it from May, that date was taken. Best of luck to you!

I'm July 12th and I am completely torn! We've had this date for TWO YEARS! I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I want to follow this thread. Its tough...should I start buying favors, center pieces, etc. or wait... My MOH suggested to buy them because if this all goes way I'll just be scrambling come June...

I’m also July 11th and we made the decision to postpone. My brother is overseas in Italy and from what he’s heard they have travel restrictions until beginning of June. Things could be prolonged depending on if things don’t improve. It was a tough call, but all the guests have been understanding and agree it’s a good idea.

Hello beautiful brides! It is heartbreaking that the world seems to be in limbo right now. The unknown is really hard. My early July wedding is in Montana and my family is from California. My venue is giving me until May 1st to decide to cancel with my full deposit back. I dont think things will settle by May 1st but I am sure we will have a better understanding of what is to come by then....I HOPE! I feel very fortunate to be able to have so many discussions and support through all you lovely ladies.
The best part is we get to spend time with our forever life partners, and when we come out of this pandemic we will know our relationships can conquer all :-)

I am July 11th! Staying positive and no plans to cancel yet 🙏

View Quoted Comment We’re July 26th and also holding out until mid-May to make a decision. Sending positive vibes to everyone!

I’m July 11th too and getting nervous

July 17th here! I’m holding out too. We are in this together!! Stay well friends

View Quoted Comment I can totally relate! I’ve been trying to psyche myself into using this time to do some wedding prep for our July 18th wedding, but it’s so hard to get motivated when the whole thing might get postponed! We’re going to make the call in mid or late May.

View Quoted Comment Same date here! We're still waiting it out. Going to make a decision in May. I'd be lying if I said I wasnt anxious. I'm also a teacher, so things have been pretty hectic. The other day one of my students asked on our Zoom call was my wedding canceled & I had to pull myself together real quick .

View Quoted Comment Thanks for replying! I am between a rock and a hard place right now as I have to make a decision within the next 2 weeks. The second payment is due to my venue on April 25 so my father wants a decision made before he pays that money, hence why I am freaking out right now. I’m afraid within the next 2 weeks that we still won’t know what June and July will be like. I’m just at my wits end with all of this. I really don’t want to postpone as I’ve heard people saying this virus could also come in waves, the next one being this fall. This is all just so heartbreaking and I hope this will end soon.

We are July 11th also, and we are torn. My fiancé did not want a big wedding to begin with, but we ended up with 200 guests on the list due to family inputs. We are supposed to be married at our church, but services are currently canceled in-person indefinitely. We are in Arkansas, so things have not hit as hard here, but we are on the line between Texas and Louisiana as well, where things are worse. We have considered changing to a very small ceremony with just the bridal party and parents outdoors at his dad's house, but we have discussed waiting to make the decision until May 1st. However, I'm stressed, and the fun has been taken out of the wedding planning right now. I simply cannot fathom to keep planning a wedding that will not happen, but I also do not want to throw planning from the last 6 months away. We've been together over 7 years, and we are supposed to moving elsewhere for him to go to pharmacy school, so postponing is not an option for us. I would really like to know what to do already, but I am just so stressed and feel like it may be too early to make a decision!

View Quoted Comment You too!! Stay well!

View Quoted Comment We have a similar plan b after reading thru all of these comments. We think, if by July we can at least get married with immediate family (which is the bridal party +1) and hopefully, by that time, we can gather in small groups to have dinner. I’d hate to rob myself of wedding dress and my dad walking me down the aisle by “just going to the court house.” We will have the photographer and get a videographer as well. Then postpone the reception only, show a clip of the ceremony at the reception, and then grand entrance like we would have at our wedding once the clip is over...in a perfect world.
Our venue won’t even discuss plan b until May, which makes sense and keeps me from complete panic. But it does suck the fun out of planning completely...to order favors or not to order favors.... ugh :,(

Our wedding was supposed to be May 8th and we postponed to July 17th so I'm really hoping things will be ok by then! I can't imagine having to postpone again. Just trying to stay positive and am really just hoping for the best!

I'm a July 11th bride! My anxiety has definitely grown over this weekend. My FH and I have started talking about alternate dates after planning for a year and a half. We are thinking maybe August. However, I would hate to postpone and have to postpone in August again if things arent better. We are planning to have a large wedding and we want to be considerate of our guests which further complicates the issue. Bachelorette weekend was planned for May... pretty sure it will be cancelled. I just dont feel like we're having the experience we've been excited for. Hopefully by the end of the month we will be able to make a more informed decision and send out invites with July 11, August date, or worst case 2021 date.

We are July 4th, and hoping not to have to reschedule... We will make a decision by end of May. I'm worried the longer I have to postpone, the less likely my Dad will be with us.

We had our original date for May 23rd but have decided to postpone since we are now quarantined till end of April. It's really hard not to freak out about postponing but I would say wait till end of May and see how things are looking.

I’m July 10 and I think we will end up postponing but I’m wait til mid May to make a decision. Knowing I absolutely do not want a winter wedding but realizing that’s really the only other time of year with out waiting until next summer my Fiancé and I decided plan B will be a destination wedding in Mexico! So which ever way it goes will be happy

View Quoted Comment Hi! We have the same date. I haven’t cancel anything yet. We are on isolation until May, I am being optimistic. I would hate to miss the very important date. 23rd July means a lit to me.
