Hi everyone! First, my condolences to everyone who's wedding is postponed or cancelled. Now that I have more invested in this, I can't imagine how disappointing that would be.
For those who are continuing on, how does one plan a wedding in a time of corona virus crisis? My date is July 25 and my wedding planner recommended that I keep that date. I have my wedding dress, but I was planning on going to the (now temporarily closed) bridal shop to match it with a veil and accessories. I don't have shoes yet, and I'm just dreading the constant back and forth shipments and returns that shopping online would cause. I already bought one pair of crap wedding shoes online that I can't return and will go straight to goodwill once that opens again. My seamstress for the dress is temporarily closed so I cannot do any of my fittings. My fiance doesn't have a suit and I don't know how he'll get one with the shop shut down. I'm ready to order invitations and I've confirmed with the printer, but I want to make a few adjustments to my wedding day timeline that I want to confirm with my venue before I print it on the invite. The venue is shut down temporarily and I haven't been able to contact anyone. And, my wedding planner had planned to go visit the venue to get an idea of the space for decor, but she didn't go before it closed.
Just the thought of all of this is making me anxious. I can buy stuff online, like veils and shoes and whatever, but I generally like to see things in person before I buy. If I wait until this blows over in mid May or June, there's a good chance that things will take some time to recover it might be even closer to my wedding date. I just really don't know how to move forward with finalizing wedding things during a time of global crisis and national lockdown...
