Has COVID-19 called an end to the traditional big white wedding?
Katie Teehan“With the backlog of 2020 weddings alongside the regular 200,000+ yearly weddings, the number of postponements far outweighs the number of weekends available in 2021, and we are already seeing a huge shift trend towards more weekday and off-season winter weddings,” he says, “Within the wedding industry, the trend for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday weddings has been growing, and as a suitable solution for many couples, the trend is set to explode in 2021.
The challenge of thinking creatively about a new wedding has been set for Claire, 33, whose dream wedding this June was“We spent way over a year planning a very specific destination wedding, in Puglia,” she says, “Now, everything is cancelled and we cannot reschedule as our venue- which we spent so long looking for-is fully booked until 2022.
She has postponed her wedding - in its entirety - to next May, with nothing changed besides the year, and her mindset. “I think the drama of weddings will change,” she predicts, “Like, who cares if the napkins don’t match the bridesmaids’ dresses or silly stuff like that. It’s made us all realise we’ll be lucky just to be able to get married at all- and the added bonus will be to be able to do it with friends and family there.”
