October 2020 brides

It all depends on what you guys want. im sure by spring everything will be back to normal and we will have a vaccine. so just depends on what date you guys want.

Let's keep up the hope and positive vibes!

I am an October bride holding out too!

Originally 6/6/20 and postponed to our 7 year anniversary 10/17/20. Unfortunately we are 90% positive we will postpone to 6/26/21. We do not want the virus to take anything away from the day we dreamed of. My concern is also that other wedding events (shower, bachelor/ette parties, and stag & doe) will all not happen prior to October. Those events are part of the excitement of getting married. Everyone else gets to have their day under the sun, and i want mine to be about me and my FH, not worrying about the virus.

October bride still holding out hope here!

Our venue told us to wait until middle of July to make a postponement decision, that is the trend they are seeing with their fall weddings.

Nearly everyone I talk to about our wedding from family (who are biased obviously) to my medical professionals to random strangers at the post office, keep telling us to wait because they think its going to be ok by the fall. But who knows!

Even postponing to next year is a huge gamble, there is really no set time when things will be ok. So its a tough call to make all around. I would wait it out as long as you can, unless moving it to next year does not bother you at all.

My Venue is very optimistic that they will be in full force come October, but they are putting a contingency plan in place, in the event that is NOT the case. He will be sending me and his other weddings the plan in the next coming weeks.
I am holding onto my October date until September which at that point I will make a final decision. I have created a Facebook group with most of my guests have joined to keep everyone informed of any date changes or any special requirements for the day of.

Postponing your wedding date to next year as a secured choice should be clear and guests from out of town to travel freely without limitation. The original date for this year can be proceeded as planned with immediate family present.

You can follow through with a renewal then a reception with all the guests present or an anniversary party. Your dress can be worn twice for pictures and still give that special moment.

We were October 24th also. We moved it till April 3rd 2021. Way less stress to think about. Even if some restrictions are lifted, I do not want to be responsible for anyone being sick!

Our wedding is scheduled for the beginning of September this year, and I think we will be making the decision pretty soon. I'm leaning towards having a ceremony this year with the bridal party and close family in attendance (should restrictions allow), with everyone else streaming virtually.

If we do a big reception at a later date, I will definitely be waiting until next fall. For you, if you want to go big I think the further off the better - it would suck to have to postpone twice!

My wedding date is Oct 3, 2020 and my FH and I are waiting until mid June to make the decision on whether to postpone or not. We have already contacted our venue and vendor asking them to put a soft hold on a back up date in September 2021. Thankfully they were all accommodating so once we make our decision we just have to email them letting them know what we have decided. This has really helped with the stress and anxiety! So I definitely recommend asking your vendor/venue to put a soft hold on a back up date.

This has been such a roller coaster of emotions. Some days I just want to pull the trigger and postpone and other days i'm hopefully for this year but I know if we do move forward with this year there will be so much to do in a small window of time that I keep thinking is it worth it.
