COVID-19 The unwelcome wedding guest
From the editor
It’s all a little confusing and overwhelming right now with the current COVID-19 pandemic impacting us across the globe. What is certain right now, we are entering unknown territory.
Along with travel restrictions, cancelled events, private gatherings, that include weddings, all have become a logistical casualty of the Corona virus.
Firstly with restrictions and information changing daily the below sites will give you the most up to date information.

Currently couples are facing the question on whether to postpone their wedding. Postponing a wedding is a decision that doesn’t come lightly and it is heartbreaking for not only the couple but family and friends and the impact being felt by suppliers. But be comforted in the fact that it is a decision you have no control over considering the current situation, and it doesn’t mean it won’t happen just not right now.
For our couples who have questions, communication with your vendors/suppliers is key right now. They are more than ready for the conversation. The industry has compassion and flexibility! So don’t feel overwhelmed they are there to work through this with you.
Just be mindful your supplier may be experiencing increased calls and their priority is those weddings that were being in held in the next few weeks. So a little patience as they work through. They have not forgotten anyone.
In speaking to couples and industry the last few days it has been so incredible to hear stories of compassion, support and love. We remain committed to sharing and supporting the industry and inspiring our couples-to-be on their wedding journey.
So everyone please stay informed, get creative, be supportive and importantly please show kindness! We will continue to share what this industry is all about, celebrating love, talent and passion!!!!
Going to leave you with words of encouragement we couldn’t of said better ourselves!
