Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

With the seemingly never ending pandemic, more and more couples have had to rethink their wedding plans. Health guidelines,  venue restrictions, and vendor flexibility are all obstacles that make it difficult to book and plan a wedding during this time.  Especially for destination weddings, there is a LOT of hesitation for planning a ceremony this far in advance. As I wrote about in Wedding 2022 Trends, backyard weddings have greatly increased in their popularity. If you want a plan wedding that can happen regardless of COVID guidelines, maybe a backyard wedding is your move!  While hosting can seem daunting, you should ask yourself:

• Is a backyard wedding possible at my house?
• How should I prepare to host my wedding? 
• Should we buy our own drinks for guests?
• Is my yard big enough for a wedding?
