From Traditional to Elopement Weddings

Good Morning lovelies, today's blog features "From Traditional to Elopement in 2021" which will allow me to discuss with all you Sussex Wedding Couples, how to go from a traditional planned wedding, to a more intimate elopement during our global pandemic. Rest assured, I will give you some advice you can take away and think about that will help make your decision.

From Traditional to Elopement in 2021 - Changing your Wedding Plans

Please don't be disheartened if you've been planning your Sussex Wedding for some time now and things haven't gone to plan. I know it can feel like all the hard work you've put in isn't being appreciated, but I promise you it is. Yes you are having to wait a little longer than normal and yes it will be far more stressful for those that haven't got a Sussex Wedding Planner to be sorting all the legalities out for you, but it will all be worth it when things are back to the new normal.

If it is still important to you to be married as soon as possible, I completely understand, because ultimately, it is about you and your partner, not everybody else. You can always have a reception much later on with a celebrant to attend and say some vows. It can be easily arranged and won't change the cost of your Sussex wedding too much.

From Traditional to Elopement in 2021 - Eloping

If you are looking to elope, it may be worth speaking to your Wedding Photographer to see if they may be able to change to an earlier date for you. Make sure you speak with them first to ensure they have the flexibility, and please be forthcoming with them as like all suppliers, they are under tremendous amounts of stress with rearranging all of your wedding dates.

From Traditional to Elopement in 2021 - Changing your Wedding Venue

You may need to think about where you may do your elopement, perhaps discuss with your venue about keeping the reception there as it is, and choose a new location for your ceremony. There are many registry offices that charge a lower fee, but you can then have a celebrant marry you anywhere you wish. Make it special, make it about the both of you and how you can share that with your family and friends at such a delicate time. It brings happiness to everyone around you to see Weddings, so continue to support the Wedding Industry if you can by thinking about eloping.
