Creative Ideas For Planning A Wedding With Pandemic Precautions

While your wedding is a period of ecstasy, joy and fulfillment for you, we understand that certain inevitable circumstances such as Covid-19 may prove to be an obstacle. A wedding is the most critical turn in an individual's life, a special occasion that one has had dreams of for years.  You may have plans of spending it with those who matter, and we want to help you while you do that.
Therefore, we present this article specifically dedicated to all you folks who are getting ready for their momentous day and fear that the pandemic may hinder your dream wedding. You don't have to put an end to your ambitions; however, you need to take a few precautions, and we, as your helpful wedding guides, will be of assistance in this regard. Let's get started!
  1. No-touch policies:
We realize that on your special day, you will be emotional. However, this policy is particularly crucial—no-touch policies include handshakes, hugs and kisses. You never know who may have been infected because the symptoms associated with the virus take several days before they become noticeable. It is, therefore, best to refrain from any physical contact.
  1. Sanitization and Masks to the rescue:
At every entrance and exit station of the wedding hall, there should be sanitizers. No guest should be allowed inside the wedding hall unless they have correctly sanitized their hands and are wearing masks.
We know that a mask does smudge the lipstick, but we have to be cautious, right? Remember! Prevention is always better than treatment, and we don't want you to get infected at any cost! There is no rulebook as to the ways one can look glamorous while prioritizing their safety.
Be it maxi dresses or shimmery gowns, anything will look good; however, safety procedures are of immense significance in the pandemic. (Hint: You could mention these safety protocols on your wedding card before sending them to your close ones) That way, they have no chance of forgetting to wear masks on your extra-special day.
  1. Safe seating:
During a wedding, everyone will sit down, chatter, eat, and drink. It is of paramount importance that while your guests engage in this, they do so from afar. Tell your wedding planners to set chairs 6 feet apart from one another.
That way, no opportunity for anyone to get infected and complain later on. Instead, your efforts in having conducted your wedding in such a smooth, thoughtful way will be appreciated by people. Safety first, and after that comes the fun guys!
  1. Digitalize:
Had we been in the Flintstones' era (yes, we love that show), we may have been woeful and teary-eyed for not spending our memorable day with our loved ones. Thankfully, social media comes to save us. You can live stream your wedding instead of asking everyone to attend it physically to ensure their safety.
Virtual events have become mainstream during the pandemic anyway, so why not take advantage of this opportunity. Send your loved ones their wedding invitations, and ask them to keep their WIFI connections, food, and drinks ready for your day.

  1. Showcase those skills:
It wouldn’t be a wedding without your wedding stylist. However, during the pandemic, you may need to rethink that option – if you're good at make-up – then this is your time to unleash your inner James Charles. Practice the make-up look you want to go with on your wedding beforehand, and blow everyone's mind away with the impeccable way you style yourself.
From make-up to fancy hairstyles, you can do anything with just enough practice. Doing this will eliminate any outsider's physical contact with you and diminish your chances of getting infected.
  1. Embrace the outdoors:
Rather than opting to plan an indoor wedding, why not think about an outdoor one instead? Imagine you with your life partner in an open area, surrounded by nature and greenery all around you. The birds are chirping their way through the light blue colored sky with strokes of yellow sunlit clouds here and there. That would be a breathtaking sight to behold and be a significant step towards your new experience as a married couple.
Conclusion:
Following a pandemic, precautions do not mean you have to compromise on all the arrangements you had in mind for your wedding. It means that you have to exercise caution and deliberation in your wedding planning. You have to prioritize safety and health above all.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Pictures were one of my top priorities for my wedding. I spent a lot of time reading through photographers and even contacting some. I was also pretty nervous, I had never been professionally photographed before. Crystal and her team were SO easy to work with and immediately took away the nerves. I trusted her completely and I am so happy I did. Cannot recommend enough!  Ellen - Yorktown VA

If you're looking for an amazing photographer who is relaxed, has experience, and knowledge look no further. Crystal took our engagement and wedding photos. Not only were her photos amazing, but she is extremely responsive to messages and will even help you when planning your big day. It was important to us to work with a photographer who has experience with same sex couples, and Crystal and Casey did a great job capturing everything for my wife and I. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. - Emily - Nellysford, VA
