With COVID-19 still wreaking havoc globally, many couples have postponed their wedding. However, some might decide to still push through–which is understandable given all the effort and investment already made. Beginning yesterday, the government has imposed stricter social distancing rules for public gatherings to prevent any further spreading of the virus.

Bridal Party and Guests: 10 pax
