4 Tips for couples who have to postpone their weddings
Worried, uneasy, overwhelmed, or even angry; you are not alone. The pandemic has affected each and everyone of us in different ways and for sure it gives our brides a huge headache too. But staying at home and postponing your wedding doesn’t mean you have to stop looking forward to your big day and planning one of the happiest moments in your life!
Let us give you 4 tips on what we reckon you continue on the celebration with your love!
Focus on LOVE - for yourself and people you treasure
It is one of those times to remember without good health, you really cannot achieve what you want. Place health as the first priority - both physically and mentally. Try to do these which alleviate your stress; for instance, a good routine of facial masks at home, a nice and hot shower, cozy family time, connect with friends and family whom you might be too busy to keep up with when you were all swamped with work before.
2. Work on the details to perfect your big day!
Yes there a lot of the important items in weddings such as the venue decoration, the ceremony setup, the gowns… but then don’t forget smaller details also capture your heart and your guests’ memories as well! Say the experience your guests go through - a cocktail bar with funny names related to you two or the wedding, beautiful stationery which illustrate your love journey, a small fan on the ceremony chairs if you are going to get married under hot weather! These details all bring a difference to the wedding and create some special memories for the coming years…
3. What about the details representing yourself?
Treat this extra time as an opportunity for you to do a wedding which shows perfect alignment with you in every single detail! The vow books which incorporates your logo? Have your name sealed onto the promise of love for your other half? A veil with both of your names sewn on it? A piece of your mother’s jewelry which is passed onto you for the wedding? These are all facets to the bigger story and details for you to dive into and savor for a particular moment of joy. You will be grateful to see these photos and relive these memories :)
4. Let’s talk about your lifelong journey
As there is more time before the new wedding day, it offers you a good opportunity to have a deeper discussion with your partner! Wedding Day is one day while marriage takes a lifetime! It is a new stage for both of you, things you would need to work out together, it is inevitable to run into conflicts and how you both should prepare yourself for that :) Would you have any plans of having kids and how do you see you both progress together as you grow as a family? There are lots to talk about and this is the perfect time to do so!
Let’s make good use of the challenge which God gives us and turns it into a great opportunity! Happy brides are certainly more beautiful brides!
