YOUR SAFE CELEBRATION DURING COVID-19
The wellness of your community matters. We’d love to support you.
Our focus usually rests on streamlined logistics and beautiful details. Since the emergence of COVID-19 and the corresponding public health measures to keep our community safe, our job has become so much more than a styled tablescape and making sure drunk bridal party members don’t hog the microphone. Not only have we spent our weeks in 1:1 consultations with our clients to create custom decision-making timelines and solutions, we’ve also spent our days cultivating resources that benefit couples everywhere.
We understand that COVID-19 is not going anywhere for a while and we are here to support couples for the long haul. We anticipate seasonal swells of illness and the need to adapt. We see all the pivots and sacrifices you have made to keep you and your guests safe. We see you, and while you are among the most resilient wedding planning cohorts of all time, even the strong couples can use some support.
Below we have collected thoughts, emotional resources, and planning tips to make sure that your marriage celebration is both safe and beautiful. We promise to be alongside you on this journey of figuring out the new normal and encourage you to check back for resource updates on a regular basis.
