Getting Married Later This Year? You Can Still Plan For Your Wedding At Home!

As if wedding planning weren’t stressful enough, now you have a pandemic to deal with! You don’t have to put wedding planning on hold due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). In fact, it’s a great time to get your fiancé on board and plan together. The internet is a vast resource for wedding planning, and many wedding companies offer a home try-on, so you didn’t even have to leave the house to begin with! Whether you’re shopping for your wedding bands, a bridal gown, a wedding suit, or something else, keep the wedding planning flowing with these helpful tips.

Grooms and Groomsmen Can Get Suited Up From Home. The bride isn’t the only one who can take advantage of wedding attire home try-on. The SuitShop offers high-quality suits and tuxedos that are less than the cost of a rental (do you really want to rent a suit these days?). Plus, they also offer a free home try on for the groom and his groomsmen. Use their fit finder to get started, pick from a selection of sharp-looking suits, and they’ll send it out to your home to try on. What groom wouldn’t want to shop from home anyway?

Don’t Forget Your Wedding Party! This is a great time to start thinking about bridesmaids’ and groomsmen’s gifts. Most of which can be ordered online. You can find a wide selection of gifts for your groomsmen at The SuitShop. Custom groomsmen’s gifts are available in sets or individually. Imagine getting the SuitShop's suits and the gifts all in one easy swoop. Bridesmaids’ gifts and bridal accessories can be found at Zola. 

Last But Certainly Not Least, Support Small Local Businesses. It’s possible that small local businesses are struggling right now. Show your support of local vendors and small business as much as possible. Just because their doors might be closed, it doesn’t mean they aren’t still working from home and shipping online orders. Seek out local vendors for these wedding essentials: photographers, wedding invitations, wedding favors for your guests, groomsmen and bridal party gifts, and gifts for the parents of the bride and groom.  

Wedding planning has come a long way since our parents’ wedding! Even if you don’t have the big items booked yet, you can still start shopping for and trying on your wedding band, your dress, the suits and picking out gifts for your wedding party.
