Pro Tips for Planning a Safe and Stress-Free Wedding in 2021
Kelsey Ogletree
Planning a wedding in 2021? Congratulations! While this year isn't
quite as difficult as 2020 when it comes to coordinating a ceremony and celebration (more than half of couples had to make modifications when nearly everything was planned for their wedding in 2020, according to a WeddingWire report), local guidelines and restrictions likely mean you're continuing to exercise more caution and scale back what you originally envisioned for your big day (hello, micro weddings!).
Despite the still-uncertain and still-evolving coronavirus situation, one big thing to keep in mind is that it's entirely possible to stay positive and enjoy all your celebrations while keeping within the guidelines. "Continue to celebrate your wedding-related events with your inner circle and open the guest list up as you're able," says Lindsay Forseth, director of weddings and special events at Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Va. "Hosting intimate gatherings in a picturesque location with all of the beautiful decor that you envisioned can still be accomplished."
