September brides- planning

I am also getting married on September 26th...hopefully! We are in a difficult situation because our venue cancelled our date on us so that they could reschedule their spring gala fundraiser on our day. So now we are left scrambling for a new venue that is available on that day, which is highly unlikely on such short notice, who will accept all of our outside vendors that we cannot afford to lose. I have contacted several places, but because of the closures, I am having no luck with responses.

I think September is one of the best times to have a wedding planned for 2020. It's far enough out from where we are now that hopefully things will improve by then but not too far into the colder months where there is some concern a resurgence will occur even if things slow up during the warmer months of summer. I hope it works out for you!

I sadly agree with you. I am getting married September 5th and halted planning because it didn't seem to make sense to plan for something I can't predict. I am just taking it day by day. My fear is if we open back up it won't be normal to the point of being able to embrace one other without masks etc and that will take the whole emotion and joy out of our special moment. Sending positive vibes to September brides

Our wedding is planned for September 19, 2020. As of now we only need to get a few more bridesmaid dresses and tuxes, which has been hard due to everything being closed..


Everything else is already booked. I'm feeling the stress and anxiety of maybe having to postpone but we're staying positive that we can still have our wedding on our original date. We're planning on having 250+ guests and luckily most, if not all, live within driving distance so we don't have to worry about traveling guests. We have talked about guests that may not want to come due to financial issues, but we'd be okay with cutting our number down from 250 if needed (that way we'll save a little bit of $$ too! Haha) Our wedding coordinator at our hall also told us to hold off on postponing as of yet because nobody knows what tomorrow will bring.
As for the bridal shower and Bachelorette party- we are most likely going to have to postpone the bridal shower which is supposed to be June 13. That shouldn't be a problem, but we are waiting until April is over to make any decisions. We are considering doing an engagement/bachelor/Bachelorette party with all of our friends. We think this will be easier for everyone to attend especially if we have to have it closer to our wedding date. We think it would be a lot of fun to let the bridal party get to know each other before our big day without having to have multiple parties set on different dates. I originally wanted to do Nashville for my party but I don't think that would be the best decision with everything going on.. Just trying to make things a little bit easier for everybody during this time.. Praying everything will be cleared up soon!

I was Also planning a bachelorette party in Nashville the last weekend of July

View Quoted Comment Have you made any changes to any of your plans? I really hope we won't have to. It feels good to know we aren't in this alone!

View Quoted Comment Hi Rachel! So far I have NOT made any changes. I will Re-evaluate the wedding in July. I’m hopeful Nashville could still be a go with domestic travel being somewhat expected to happen in June. I’m thankful we already have a timeline that gives us a shot ❤️

View Quoted Comment That'll probably be our plan too to re-evaluate things. We already have everything ready to go so we don't want to make any decisions too soon. I'll be praying that we'll both have a beautiful day! Thank you for helping me stay positive ❤

View Quoted Comment Agree with you! I’m 9/12 and my fiancé and I will be deciding by mid May, and telling our family friends what OUR plan is by the end of May. Too many opinions when we involve everyone.


We still plan on getting married, and are leaning towards immediate family only. And our *goal* is to buy a house in the next year so we will have our “reception” then! If we don’t, we will just figure it out- no sweat here!

I think that's smart! We ended up making our decision last weekend to cancel the big original wedding we had planned and started telling friends and family. Everyone has been incredibly supportive. Our plan is to still get married in our backyard with a very small group of our parents and siblings and then have a big party to celebrate next year.
