This Couple Planned A Simple Outdoor Ceremony in a Month

July 30, 2020 / Posted by in Local Weddings

With the COVID-19 pandemic still making wedding planning extra challenging for all couples, Crystal and Leo were faced with the tough decision of whether to push through with their Big Day or postpone it for a later date. After careful thought and consideration, they decided on having a simple outdoor ceremony at Kerry Hotel within a month. “It was a risky decision,” shares Crystal, the bride, “and we needed to spend another sum of money during the tough time, but it turned out to be our dream wedding, complete with our loved ones, cozy weather–simple and surrounded by blessings!” See more of their intimate wedding below, documented by MC Photography.

Crystal and Leo are very thankful to all their wedding vendors who allowed them to defer the booking of their wedding banquet for free with flexible arrangements. “We appreciate their help!”, says Crystal. For other brides and grooms who are struggling with their wedding planning at a time like this, here are some tips from the couple.

(1) Stay up-to-date with the government policy. New regulations ruin every couples’ plan. For instance our banquet needed to be postponed as expected. Be ready to adjust.

(2) Prepare for the best, prepare for the worst at the same time. Have back up plans because you never know what will happen as the weeks go by.

(3) As you prepare your contingency plan, constantly communicate with your vendors so they can adjust too.
