Brides who have postponed to next year...

Beautiful dress!

Its hard to believe so many couples have had to postpone their date pushing everything back for a great celebration. The idea of a small wedding does seem right to keep the original date on track and hold back for a reception later on to have the full guest list.

View quoted message They really are!! I really love the wedding box. It’s brought fun and excitement back to our engagement, and I signed up on a whim earlier this year when the pandemic was shutting everything down. Good luck to you!! I would do the exact same thing if I had a wedding date next summer!

View quoted message That is a big decision to postpone to 2022. Such a relief though I am sure. I have accepted that we will make our wedding the best it can be next summer no matter what. Some of our vendors have updated contracts not allowing one to move a deposit again.


I may check out the subscription box here! Something fun. And who couldn't use a pick me up these days lol.
I agree. Thinking of us all too. These are hard decisions to be making.

We have just decided to push our Apr 2021 wedding to Apr 2022. For sure the disappointment hit hard but we are confident by then we will have the wedding day exactly as we want- 130 ppl, food truck, dancing, photo booth, hopefully no masks... none of these things we could have in Apr 2021. So the relief and joy is put back into wedding planning. I have to redo our save the dates, reschedule our vendors, and will get a new wedding book planner, but then retire planning until next spring I think. I also have the Miss to Mrs box subscription and it’s a lot of fun! Would highly recommend! I have to say you guys- so many of us are going through the exact same thing! Thinking of all of us right now!! Good luck!

View quoted message We have to choose between jan 29 and feb 12. I dont think it really matters to me. I asked FH to decide. I think we may go with Jan because the Feb one is too close to valentine's day and I have red as major colour lol

View quoted message I agree! When we first initially postponed it was such a relief. It is so nice when you get to see your dress. That's why I just needed to try mine on again. It really felt good and made me super excited again. ☺️ When in 2022 did you postpone to?

I postponed today but I'm actually more relaxed than I've been for a while. My dress should be in very soon (next week) so I'm looking forward to seeing it. I was supposed to get married Feb 20 2021 now I'm going into 2022

View quoted message While my fiance was at work yesterday I decided because I had the house to myself to toss on my dress. It was a pick me up I really needed. Really got me excited!
Lanterns I ordered from Ikea to hang to line the aisle came in yesterday to so things to work on is becoming more which will help pass the time.

View quoted message Lol I might have to sneak mine on again. 😅


That definitely makes sense! I wasn't that close so we still had a lot of decor stuff to do. So I've been back at that. I did change up my coral to a softer peach because it was to bold but it isn't a main colour, it's just in some of my florals. But otherwise everything I've kept the same.

Lol - I keep my dress at my parents as well and I've gone over a few times to try it on.

Lately I've just been disinterested in planning because we were DONE before all this started. 3 months away from the wedding and I was so chill because it was just little bits here and there that needed to be done. So I had found myself back on Pinterest, and scrolling through Instagram pages thinking of things to change or do. and i'm like no.. I was so stoked about all the details before so why am I torturing myself lol

Waiting until January to even think about it again..

View quoted message Lol I have no idea how to delete my previous message. Somehow hit reply to soon 🤣


But it has definitely been hard seeing others get married and I second guess if we made the right decision. I also go back over my list of why we did it to remind myself that to us it was so important to have our immediate close family and friends there and we wouldn't have been able to this year.
Maybe I need to toss my dress on just to get the feels. Waiting a extra year to put it on seems so far away lol!!! I agree though. We didn't plan on getting married 12 years and two kids later but everyone always said we should and that I deserved the big gown and wedding day. So now after he finally asked I really want that lol!
I also took the summer off from planning to. We are postponed to August 14, 2021 so now that we are past the year mark I find I'm antsy to do things. I have done some jar painting and sign staining now before it gets cold so I can work on the flowers for the jars and make the signs inside in the cold months. I also have sample linens coming right now to decide on those. It's nice to be working on stuff but I feel like it's making me impatient to lol. I want to re design the invitations but I feel like I should maybe wait til the new year. I wanted to send out new save the dates but also I don't know if that's a good day incase we have to scale back. Although we originally sent invitations in February last year because my fiance is a shift worker and they get opening to summer holidays in March and his close friends at work we wanted to make sure had the invitations for holiday booking. So I question if I should just wait and only do invitations around then again..
The Mrs subscription box sounds kind of fun. I should look into that! Maybe I should talk with my girls about the shower and bachelorette again. Originally we were going to go to the bar because my sister in law told me I can't be old and boring 🤣 (I'm 32), maybe now it will have to be a sit down pub, or back yard party depending on covid) but I really hope it can be as normal as possible!

View quoted message It has ded

Ugh I feel you with this! We postponed from Oct 3, 2020 to Oct 2, 2021 back in June and I have gone through about every emotion about it lol. I took a break as well over the summer and have been looking forward to being past our OG date and under a year away again. We are also in the same mentality of not putting off any longer, whatever next year looks like. It’s been really hard for me to see other weddings move forward, although I’m happy for them I can’t help but be jealous and wonder if we should’ve done the same. But then I remind myself (or have someone else remind me lol) why we postponed (my fiancé and I made a list of reasons/pros and cons I have looked back on a few times)


I also had the house to myself last month and tried my dress on again and it reminded me that I really want as many of our guests as possible to see me in it 😂😍
A few other things I did to get excited about the new date: - sign up for Miss to Mrs subscription box (it’s fun to get little bridal swag and got me feeling special)- ordered our guestbook which is a large wooden sign that has our new date to make it feel official - had some fun chats with my bridesmaids about the shower and bachelorette party to get excited, since those events are sooner than the wedding and will be so fun !
I feel for you, this has been SO difficult and I have felt really jaded about it at times. I’m glad we have this community to support each other because very few people know how it feels !

My fiance and I postponed our August 8 2020 wedding to August 7 2021. I definitely felt the same way a few times through these rough couple of months knowing we have to wait another year to get married. My fiance and I have been together 5 and a half years. We both want to be married already. Everytime I'm over at my parents, I try and go and look at my dress just so I can remind myself that I will eventually be able to where it and it will be that much more special.

We had taken a break from wedding stuff since we had postponed back in May. I've just starting getting back at it. Even though that there isn't that much left to do, we were able to bring in our artificial flowers into our flower lady so she can put them together for us. I've also starting redoing our invites to a certain point just in case we have to make a few changes again if things do go as planned again for next summer.

View quoted message That's us too. I feel like covid will be around in some shape or form and things won't be as originally planned. But we won't put it off any longer either.


I tried on my dress when I picked it up in April but I haven't since. I feel like I may need to lose some weight. I think I've gained a little these last 6 months lol.
I definitely think doing the new invitations will make it more exciting again. I loved getting the RSVPs too. It will be nice when we get to that point again.

I’m in the same boat sort of where I don’t really have enthusiasm but I’m trying. I think the hardest part for me is I think Covid will be around next year and if it is - we aren’t putting it off any longer.


I tried on my dress in August which was great (although I need to lose some weight) - I think I’ll get more excited once we can re design our invitations in the spring if everything seems to be ok Covid wise!
Getting RSVPs before was the best part for me so I’m looking forward to that again hopefully next year!
