How to plan a wedding right from home

Coronavirus changed all aspects of our lives. From how we shop, how we meet, and how we hold social events like weddings, it’s completely altered everything. We understand it can be intimidating to plan your wedding at home in self-isolation. But we are lucky to live in a digital era where we can get all the information we need by the click of a button, and plans for a wedding can be made from any place we are.

The following tips will help you plan a perfect wedding right from the comfort of your home during the pandemic, and how you can work with online vendors to make your wedding day as memorable as you both deserve.

Use online resources

There are dozens of amazing blogs, sites, apps, and tools online you can use to find inspiration and help you plan every aspect of your dream wedding. Use your free time to browse through these blogs and set up dedicated boards for each item you need. From booking suppliers, sharing invitations to designing your big day; the web has everything covered for you. Some of the sites to check at are

Pinterest: This is your go-to site in terms of initial inspirations. All you need is to come up with your own wedding boards and categorize them for easy access.

Creative registries

With the global pandemic, the majority of retail businesses have taken their registry sign-ups online. This means you can look for decoration stuff, furniture, kitchen tools, pillow covers, home stuff, cash, and even gifts from home. Some registries like Knotfund.com allow you to register for large needed items, and your guests can help contribute towards them either financially or in any way they wish.

Use virtual tours to explore wedding venues

You’ve planned most of your wedding, but there are still some other chores you have to do. COVID 19 should not stop you from exploring your dream location since most wedding venues offer virtual video tours. They can take you through their space via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype. You can also ask questions to get to know the facilities inside and out just like you would in an actual visit.

There’s also the possibility to gather information about companies and the services they offer through their social media platforms and websites. If you’re unsure about something, it is a good idea to take a glance at the reviews of past clients.

And if you were wondering about wedding gowns, bridesmaid’s dresses or suits, you can get them from online vendors. Hence, there’s no need to stress yourself because there are quite a good number of well-known online stores you can buy from.  

Legal documents

Marriage is a legal contract, meant to protect and preserve the responsibilities and rights of the couple in a recognizable form for the state. It’s therefore really important to find all the necessary information and paperwork involved in getting this document before your wedding day. Some states have gone as far as conducting virtual weddings, and couples can now obtain marriage certificates online.

There are many things you can do to plan your wedding in the comfort of your house. Use the tools at your disposal and start working now on some of the things you’ll need later to make your planning easier. Even though we’re in a hard time, most wedding planners can still lend you a hand whenever you need it. Take advantage of the internet and reach out to them virtually so you can get useful tips from them.
