The New Normal: What to expect.

Wake me up, when Covid-19 ends... Thats the lyrics to Green Day's song right?

Hello my pandemic pals... too soon? Weddings are a thing again and it's coming in fast and furious. Couples aren't letting a GLOBAL PANDEMIC stand in the way of love. They're adapting, as we all should be! Now that weddings are making it's come back I thought I'd list a couple things you can expect to see as an attendee. 

#1 Smaller Gatherings

Weddings and ceremonies are much smaller and intimate events. Couples will choose to have immediate family and close friends to share their day with. We all know that theres a maximum amount of persons allowed at gatherings as mandated by the government, so don't be a negative Nancy if you're not invited. Let the couple know how much they mean to you and send them best wishes on their big day. Once we return to some sort of normalcy in the world, we can celebrate then!

#2 Mr. Clean

Expect extra cleaning precautions to be put in place. Sanitization stations are very common now along with more sinks in accessible places. Also, don't be alarmed if they take your temperature before entering the venue. At the end of the day it's for everyones safety!

#3 Mask Up

I feel like superhero every time I say "oh shoot I forgot my mask". Just kidding, I despise wearing a mask, but it's necessary and even mandatory before entering stores, restaurants and venues. Get yourself some cute masks, it makes it more bearable. 

#4 Floor Plans and Seating Charts

This might be my favourite change, because I'm a sucker for a non traditional seating plan. Venues have to abide by social distancing guidelines and what better way to switch up your seating style! A great idea will also be to designate seating through a seating plan so you can keep a track of where each guest sat in the event of a Covid scare. 

#5 Food Prep and Presentation

Food preparation was one of the first to implement MAJOR changes as a result of this pandemic. Chef's are putting every and all measures in place to ensure you and your guests are served food which has been carefully prepared. Also, self serve buffets may be a thing of the past. Expect a buffet with servers or even a plated meal. I love this idea, since it also adds a touch of elegance.

#6 Virtual Streaming

Since or borders are still closed, virtual streaming may become more popular in the near future as we want our friends and family abroad to join us on our special day.

Just remember, though these changes may seem sudden and a lot to take in at once, it's for our safety and the safety of our guests, vendors and more. 

Let us know in the comments below if you've experienced any of the above changes or if you've seen anything else being done during this pandemic.

With Love,

Tulle and Tuxedo
