That’s me, Kerstyn. Sippin’ an espresso martini at a wedding before covid was even a thing. Ahhh, the good ol’ days… (Photographed by faves at Kieran Moore Photography)<\/em><\/p>\n

Sydney brides and grooms to be, I\u2019m so sorry this is happening to you (again). It\u2019s not fair, and trust me, we in the wedding industry are feeling your pain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already received some calls and texts this morning from clients about their upcoming weddings, so I thought I\u2019d share some advice on what to do if your wedding is coming up soon\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What date is lockdown due to end? If your wedding is more than a month after lockdown ends, we suggest you don\u2019t do anything just yet. Wait it out before making any decisions.<\/li>\n
  2. If your wedding is within two weeks of lockdown ending, reach out to all your suppliers to open a discussion about postponing or adjusting your date, and ask their advice. You don\u2019t have to decide just yet, but at least you\u2019ll know where you stand and what options you have, including some future date avails!<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. If you\u2019re postponing your wedding, we recommend you go to each of your suppliers with some date options ie. more than one future date. AND if you really want to make sure you still have your dream team available, try a week day- there are so many reasons to marry on a weekday! Check out this post from our mates at WedShed<\/u><\/a> for 8 brilliant reasons!<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. If you\u2019re choosing to go ahead as soon as possible, regardless of restrictions, kudos to you Please keep in mind that whilst your wedding may look different, you\u2019ll still be marrying the love of your life and that\u2019s what matters most, right?<\/li>\n
  5. Throughout all of this, please be kind to yourselves- cry, be angry, get upset- but be kind to you and show kindness to suppliers, too. You could be their 10th call about the same thing and it\u2019s hitting them hard as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And above all, please remember that your day is coming, and it\u2019s going to be amazing, and you\u2019re going to have the best time, and you\u2019ll finally be married to your love \u2665\ufe0f<\/p>\n

    Here for you and with you, Kerstyn x<\/p>\n
