Celebrations of all kinds have been put on hold and some have been completely cancelled. The COVID-19 pandemic has left brides all over the world stumbling and trying to pick up the pieces and do what\u2019s best for themselves, their fianc\u00e9\u2019s as well as family and friends. For a lot of cases, this means downsizing their nuptials.<\/p>\n<p>Many have chosen to elope, have a courthouse wedding, or just a small family and friends gathering. COVID-19 precautions have also been put in place for a lot of events. This includes pre- wedding COVID tests, favors that include face masks and hand sanitizers. Some even require no dancing to enforce social distance measures. All of this is new and can be frightening, but downsizing your wedding can have real benefits other than keeping loved ones safe. Here are some reasons to embrace a downsized wedding:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>More Intimate feel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Downsizing your wedding means there are less guests to greet and chat with. Spending your big day with the core people who matter to you is sort of everyone\u2019s dream. While big weddings can have benefits there is nothing like having quality time with your significant other on your big day. The most common advise past brides give to future brides is to take it all in and really enjoy your day. You put so much planning into a day that truly flies by. A small guest list will help you really soak in every last detail and minute of your big day.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DIY some things<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A smaller wedding can mean you have the opportunity to DIY some things you may not have originally planned to. Gathering your bridesmaids and family members to chip in and create bouquets and centerpieces is a great way to incorporate a DIY aspect into your wedding. Blooms offers free quotes and can help you pull apart your inspiration photos to make sense of what you need to purchase.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Save Money <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This one is a given but a smaller wedding means a smaller budget. Spending less money means more money for your future and that seems like more than enough reason to embrace downsizing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We would love to hear from you!
