“What should be an exciting buildup to a wedding is now just full of anxiety and stress due to something nobody has ever experienced before.” Here, wedding planners and brides share advice and perspectives on how they are weighing their options.
Brittany Kraft is supposed to get married on May 15 in Tuscany, Italy. But as COVID-19 upends life everywhere, especially in Italy, it’s a date that’s seeming, with every passing day, more of an improbability. “All that matters is that we get married, however that happens. These things are materialistic,” Kraft says, noting a sincere concern for the health of her family, friends, and those across the globe.
Canada-based bride Shirin Mirsaeidi’s place cards and menus had already arrived at her house for the wedding she planned to have on March 28 in Mexico. But, less than two weeks before the wedding, she was forced to cancel. “We didn’t feel right putting people in danger and then contributing to the problem,” she says of her decision. “There was a chance that our friends that were coming would get quarantined from their kids when they returned.
Right now, she’s advising those marrying in May and June to push their weddings to later in the summer or fall. But even those planning to wed in those months are hesitant. Birthistle says that some aren’t including RSVP deadlines on their Save the Dates to provide flexibility for their guests, while others are seeing drops in numbers.
Kathryn Arce, a founder of wedding consulting firm Engaging Concepts, recently held an industry conference in Dubai. The new coronavirus was, understandably, all anyone could talk about right now. “Things are usually affecting one group or another,” she says. “But this is someone that is affecting” She and her cofounder, Rebecca Grinnals, are especially concerned about the economic impact.
