What to do if you have had to postpone your wedding due to the coronavirus?

These days I am receiving many messages from future brides who have had to postpone their wedding due to the coronavirus . A few months ago, nobody imagined that this pandemic situation would come about. But it has happened and we are here to help you with your plan changes due to Covid-19 .

Coronavirus: postponing the wedding does not mean canceling

The first step is a call to calm . You may have been planning your perfect wedding for months or even more than a year, so it's normal to feel frustrated or sad. Let those emotions express themselves, communicate your concerns to your family and friends, to your partner, but don't let them sink you.

There is a phrase that I love and I have hanging on the wall “Feelings are much like waves, we can't stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf”. If you like surfing like me, you will feel super identified. And it is so. Feel your emotions and give them space, but then adjust your thoughts back to reality . Yes, you have had to postpone your wedding due to Covid-19, but better times will come. And you will have that wonderful wedding that you had always imagined!

The help of the wedding planner

If you have a wedding planner, she will take care of all the consequences that Covid-19 is having. Surely he will have already contacted you to discuss issues such as the location, the catering service and everything that you have already ordered. You are in good hands, let yourself be advised. And, if you want us to recommend a super wedding planner, we love Bendito Sarao .

I don't have a wedding planner at my wedding, where do I start?

First contact the farm or church where the wedding was to take place. Then you will have to do the same with the caterer, the photographer, the DJ... The whole sector is very aware and they want the best for you, so they will give you the maximum possible facilities. You will see how they understand you and help you organize yourself again.

At the moment, professionals are working to postpone May weddings, although the situation may take longer. He is considering working more and opening unforeseen days, such as Fridays and Sundays, so that you can have your wedding this year . Prepare a quadrant to see how you could adjust all the changes, for example in an Excel. Or add a tab to that Excel you already have to control your wedding items.

Changes in your wedding dress

Due to the coronavirus, many brides and grooms are choosing to postpone their weddings from April and May to September and October . The question you will ask yourself is what about my wedding dress? If your dress is Mimètik, you can easily adapt it to autumn. In fact, versatility is one of our maxims and now is where it is best demonstrated. But whether your dress is a Mimètik or not, it's just a matter of adding certain changes:

Complete your wedding dress with a denim or leather jacket

This casual mix is ​​loved by many of my Mimètik Brides and I can't stop recommending it to our brides-to-be. Autumn is not particularly cool in Spain, but it will do you good to have that second layer. Not to mention how cool you'll feel in that casual piece over your bohemian dress ! Look how good it looks on Mercè. I liked it so much that you shared your photos with us in such exceptional moments, that I immediately uploaded it to Stories.

Your boho dress with a knitted shawl

I saw this combination recently in one of my girlfriends, Anna, and it seemed super successful! It's perfect, the shawl goes perfectly with the beatnik crop top and, furthermore, it doesn't get cold at all. If you like the handmade look, the shawl could be made for you by your mother or grandmother. More handmade impossible!

Add a Frida bolero

Our Frida model is the one for fall and winter brides par excellence. To the dress you already have, you can add a Frida lace bolero in Ivory or Champagne , for more temperate climates, or a Frida Essential bolero if it's going to be colder. And for my most daring brides: nothing like a touch of color !

Choose a Frida Essential and add all the accessories that best define you
