Almost a year ago, we were on the cusp of the first full lockdown, nobody knew what was on the horizon. After navigating a challenging year, we all have learned a lot about how to move forward, safely. So 2021 will have it much easier as we expect more relaxed measurements related to the number of guests allowed, plus we are hoping the vaccines have a positive impact in reducing the spread of the virus.
Weddings are happening. Love was never canceled. Couples pivoted. Weddings were postponed. Zoom ceremonies became legal. Petite parties were planned. Vows were celebrated. And, through it all, marriage mattered.
Now that we have a better grasp on how to handle planning during a pandemic, and an understanding of how to execute safety precautions such as temperature checks and sanitation stations to rapid COVID tests, planning has become a bit more streamlined.
Stay positive, and let’s make this wedding industry stronger than ever.
Love, Team DWP
