How To Organise A Good Wedding During Lockdown

Were you planning on having your wedding this year but your county went into lockdown? Many have had to cancel or postpone their wedding plans due to the pandemic. This means a lot of lost deposits and dream destination weddings that just won’t happen any time soon. But if you just got engaged recently and were just at the beginning stages of wedding planning – there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The lockdown might sounds bad, but it’s a great opportunity to plan everything out, organize a lot of the things yourself and save money on the wedding planning companies. Here are a couple of suggestions and pointers on what you can do to organize a good wedding during lockdown.

1. Lock Down The Theme

A lot of the time people have a general idea of what they want their wedding to look like, but it’s hard to decide on the details in the moment so you hire a team, give them the general theme of the event and perhaps a pinterest board to base it off. However, now that you might have more free time during lockdown you can really choose and pick exactly what you want everything to look like.

2. Book Locations

Finding a location is the hardest part usually, because everything is booked in advance. However, now that everyone is postponing and we’re all kind of used to the idea of delaying everything until a better time you can really find the ideal location and book it. Alternatively, if you’re going to have a small wedding, you can spend more time exploring locations near you and seeing what you can do to make them as cute as you want.

3. DIY Decor

In regular circumstances you’d be pressed for time and would probably either hire someone to decorate the venue or buy ready made decorations. Now you can actually dedicate the time to DIY some awesome decor. There’s time for trial and error, you’re not rushed and you can actually test out multiple options and become a DIY queen in the process, not to mention all the money you’ll be saving by doing it yourself.

4. Online Shopping

While buying a wedding dress online might be risky, you can buy bits and pieces like accessories and little bits of decor that would go on tables. There are a lot of sales and discounts going around so it’s the best time to buy stuff like that. Additionally you have the extra time to go bargain hunting on ebay and buy pre-owned things like flower vases or any other decorative things.
