We know pushing your wedding date during these uncertain times is a really tough decision. We know how long you have been looking forward to this special date. There has been months of planning so it’s completely understandable to feel fear, anxiety, and more. However, we also want to share that in times like this….everyone is hurting including small business owners and wedding vendors.
All of your wedding vendors like photographers, planners, decorators, and florists have teams that are dependent on them. A helping hand from you is crucial to getting everyone through these times.
Here are a few ways in which you can extend a helping hand for your lovely vendors:
Don’t cancel, reschedule
Make your decisions now
Go local
When social distancing:
This is the best time to plan all those details you felt like you never had time for. Now is the time to take full advantage of technology by sharing your ideas and thoughts with your vendors without stepping out of your home.
Post Quarantine:
Try to keep supporting your small businesses so they can stay afloat post crisis. For example, you can also order desserts from a local bakery and food from a local catering service to help them get back on their feet. For wedding favors, consider simple gifts that have been sourced locally.
Remember, many of these vendors are currently working from home and are easily available for a quick chat to discuss ideas with you in a more in-depth manner.
