How to re-plan your wedding if you've been affected by COVID-19

Q – Our wedding was postponed due to COVID-19, and we’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of re-planning everything. Do you have any suggestions?

"It’s a deflating feeling to have carefully planned and organised everything to then have it cancelled. I feel for all the couple that have been affected this year. My best advice would be to try and see the extra planning time as a bonus.

"You’ve already done the hard work of choosing the perfect venue and suppliers, the real challenge now is the admin involved in rescheduling to a date that works for everyone. I won’t lie, this can be quite a juggling act, but it’s possible to streamline the process. The first step is focusing on your venue. Find out asap what dates they have available, then send out a blanket email to all your suppliers with the various options (remember to include your key guests). Fingers crossed there will be a date that works for everyone but have a plan B in mind just in case.

"If it all feels too overwhelming, there are wedding planners across the country who will be more than happy to take care of this for you."
