Has the pandemic changed weddings forever?
Because 2020 was one HELLUVA year to be engaged. Apr 30, 2021
Last year it’s estimated that the UK wedding industry lost over £5.2 billion due to the pandemic. Searches for ‘postpone wedding’ were up 845%, and ‘cancel wedding’ queries increased 156% compared to 2019. And at one point, weddings were even illegal. To say that it’s been a stressful year to be engaged is an understatement.
Now, as restrictions continue to lift, there’s a renewed, albeit tentative, sense of optimism for those planning their big day. And with so many ceremonies rain-checked to 2021 and into 2022, the next 12 months have been touted as the greatest year of weddings in history . It s a big call, but is it likely? Or has the pandemic changed weddings forever?
