Wedding season looks a tad different this year - namely because there aren’t actually any weddings to attend. We'd usually be amidst a period of nuptials in the South of France, hen parties in Ibiza and country garden weddings in the darkest depths of Oxfordshire right now. But instead, 2020 has seen us mourn the sadly cancelled or postponed wedding days of our friends and loved ones and mark the day with a toast on Zoom.
It's sad and disappointing. There's no doubt about that. But there is one positive: wedding guests are saving a hell of a lot of money. They can attend virtual hen parties in tracksuits they've owned for years and they don't have to worry about forking out for wedding guest dresses, transport and near-to-venue Airbnbs.
Weddings after lockdown are set to look different still. For the couples themselves, wedding industry experts are predicting a huge rise in ‘Micro Weddings’ - a trend that sees gatherings of between 20-50 guests; somewhere between an elopement and a traditional wedding. What's more, they'll become more wary of the fact that they just want to get married, and won't care too much about the extras that come with it. For wedding guests, this period of lesser spending is likely to evoke a more financially savvy approach to celebrating the vows of their loved ones. We'll attend, re-wear the dress we wore to our last wedding, have a great time and not spend our entire pay check in the process. Oh, and we'll likely spend less than £50 on a wedding gift without fear the couple will hate it.
