Much has changed since the onset of the global
pandemic and wedding celebrations are not left unscathed. Within a single year,
there have been significant changes made to weddings, leaving celebrations to
be reimagined. Safety and health considerations are now prioritised, disrupting
the original flow of many couples’ itineraries on their wedding planning checklist. From
solemnisations to food and service – every part of the celebration is affected.
Wedding celebrations all around the world have
taken on a different look, and things will probably stay this way in the coming
years. If you’re preparing yourself for a wedding celebration post-pandemic,
here are a few trends that will likely remain.
1. Smaller And Intimate Weddings

Until we’ve reached the stage where we can relax
on safety and precautionary measures, weddings will have to tentatively remain
intimate and on a smaller scale. While this may be the case, couples shouldn’t
feel deterred in compiling their desired guestlist. In fact, actually having a
shortened guest list might be a blessing in disguise.
A trimmed guest list allows
one to reallocate their invested dollars towards other items they would
otherwise have had to sacrifice for a larger guest list. With a more
intentional approach to guest lists given the restrictions, couples might
actually become more economical in stretching their wedding budget further.
2. Heightened Awareness Of Germs

If there is one thing that the pandemic has
highlighted, it’s the fragility of life. Every day, many lives are lost
senselessly to this pandemic. This sensitivity stems from the now-heightened
awareness of how easily transmittable virulent germs are from mere contact
along with the corresponding adverse health effects. Hence, the safety measures
currently implemented will be here to stay for a while more, adding another
layer of precautions into wedding execution.
Luckily, wedding vendors have demonstrated great
resilience during this transformative period by adapting their technical
know-how in accordance with these safety measures. For instance, wedding catering services now mandate plexiglass barriers,
gloves and masks to be present at every event. Food service staff are also
trained to practise stricter food safety protocols in view of preventing
transmissions of viruses and other pathogens.
With these essential workers safeguarding
sanitation standards, both you and your guests will be able to rest assured and
focus wholeheartedly on the joyous celebration instead.
3. Contracts Will Look A Tad Different

Prior to Covid, wedding
vendors will often offer vague contingency contracts
when it came to unforeseeable circumstances, postponements and cancellations.
There was an assumption that such changes were based on an individual’s
decisions. A massive cancellation is often unheard of – that is, until
recently.
Due to the pandemic, wedding vendors now know
how to move forward when a force majeure happens. As such, wedding vendors will
recreate and tweak their existing contracts to better protect them and their services
in cases of an emergency.
While times are different, the core still
remains untouched: a celebration of a sacred marital union between two lovers.
However, should you still wish to hold your wedding celebrations, the essence
of weddings still holds true to commemorating the precious declaration of love
between you and your fiance in the company of all your loved ones and friends.
Pre-Covid 19 or otherwise, that’s the only thing that should never change.
