June Brides: How're you feeling about Covid-19?

We have a community hub of all our COVID-19 information, including cancellation guides, monthly planning posts, and advice on how to get additional support.

Hi! Our wedding is June 14. Our wedding planner and the venue advised waiting until May to make the call. Which makes sense. Once you reschedule you can’t go back. So I am going to try to take some deep breaths and go with it.


We are adding an extra note with our invites though to flag that we understand the nature of the situation, and will let everyone know if there’s a change of plans.

Hi Melanie! It seems like a lot of June couples are in "wait and see" mode for now and monitoring their local situation for a few more weeks, but the stress from uncertainty is totally understandable!

Here are a few active discussions right now where June brides have been connecting about their Covid19 concerns:

June 2020 Weddings - How's everyone feeling?

June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!

Hi Melanie! My wedding is currently scheduled for 6/12/20 in Southern California and I am also getting very worried. My fiance and I are going to give ourselves a couple more weeks to decide, but are pretty confident we will need to postpone. With how everything is progressing, it does not look like this will be over by June. Obviously the most important thing is ensuring we keep ourselves and our guests happy, healthy and safe. However, even if CDC regulations/ shelter in place ordinance's subside, I worry that there will still be a stigma attached to my wedding if I proceed with 6/12/20. I would hate for the memory of my wedding to be tainted by fear.

Our venue is currently allowing couples with weddings scheduled between now and June 30th to postpone to a later date. Unfortunately 2020 is pretty much booked up so we would need to reschedule for 2021. I am heartbroken to think that after all of the hard work and anticipation, we may have to wait another year. My heart goes out to all of the other brides that are in this same situation. The most important thing is everyone's health and the love you have with your partner. We will get through this.

Hello there! Our wedding is june 20th in Riviera Maya MX, We spoke to our travel agent and she said we had till the end of april to make a decision of postponing to a later date and that's what we plan on doing
We are staying as positive as we can and are hoping for the best! So best of luck to you as well 😊

I think its naive to assume anything at this point. I understand we must keep hope, but we must also be realistic and prepare for the worst case scenario (postponement.) I am right here with you.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility of that extending to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April. My heart ACHES for those couples.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020, however, what everyone needs to understand (myself included) is that even if things "calm down" soon, it doesn't mean people will be out of danger while in close proximity to one another. We never expected to have to make such a heartbreaking decision, however, it is not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk.

take some time to decide what is best for you, but understand that there are many other couples debating the same and dates will become less and less available.

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.

All the best,

We had to move our date yesterday.


My state just shut everything down until June 10th. We were scheduled for June 26th. It ended up being necessary for us. My dress alterations were canceled, and my husband hadn't ordered his tux and his appointment to order was canceled. Nothing can be rescheduled until after June 10th, and we have to have something to wear! I was having dental work related to a boating accident and all my appointments were rescheduled until after June. I don't want to risk working on my teeth two weeks beforehand. Keep these little details in mind when you make your decision.


Our date is now June 26th, 2021!

I am getting married 6/20/2020 in Las Vegas and my venue has said to wait for now and keep moving forward. We'll make a final decision at the beginning of May.

View Quoted Comment Jessica what state do you live in? I’m June 12 and have been holding off on postponement but will likely make the call this morning. So sorry you are going through this.

Update: We just postponed our wedding until June of 2021. It's not looking great here in New England, and I didn't want to risk not having my grandparents at my wedding in-person. We're very disappointed, but think it was the right decision. Luckily, all of our venders were available on the new date -- didn't have to break any contracts.

View Quoted Comment Hi Katie,
We live in Virginia. I'm sorry you're going through this! I hope whatever choice you make goes as smooth as it can. Good luck!
