In the whirlwind of 2020 (halfway… there?) we’ve seen engaged folx getting super creative with the sudden adjustment in wedding plans, not to mention ever changing regulations regarding gatherings around the country and our own individual counties. (We remain so sorry you’re going through this, but so inspired with the wildly imaginative ways you are coming up with to celebrate your love.)
And while some couples have decided to postpone their wedding and wait until 2021 or 2022 to have their celebration, we’re seeing that a lot of couples are throwing caution to the wind (well, figuratively, they’re still wearing masks) and sticking to their original date while having a very different wedding than they originally planned. We’re talking about backyard weddings, pop up weddings and elopements. And the attire for a smaller celebration may look a little different than your originally planned affair.
I’ve scoured the internet looking for the latest and greatest wedding dresses, jumpsuits and fancy colorful dresses… because in 2020 anything goes, right? If you want to wear the polka dot dress or the bright blue dress, do it. But if the classics are more your style, we’ve got you covered too. Plans have changed, tears have been had and none of us are the same as we were just four months ago. And 2020 engaged folx, my heart goes out to you…. but I also put my shopping skills to work for you. Because we need action right now, not just nice thoughts.
So if you’re in the market for a new fly AF backyard wedding dress or you know, something just a little different, we got you.
