Planning a Wedding in Uncertain Times

A wedding is, at its core, an act of trust—a belief that what you’re building together is worth celebrating, no matter what’s happening in the world. But when uncertainty looms, it can be hard to plan for something that’s meant to feel joyful and steady. The good news? Love holds up. Your wedding can, too.

1. Hold Everything Else Loosely
At the heart of it all, it’s the two of you, promising a life together. Let that be your anchor. Everything else—the flowers, the venue, the guest list—is just the setting, not the story.

2. Choose Vendors Who Can Weather the Storm
Experience is everything. Seasoned professionals don’t just bring talent; they bring steadiness. They know how to pivot, how to problem-solve, and how to keep the day feeling seamless, even when the unexpected happens.

3. Make Peace with the Unknown
Maybe it rains. Maybe a detail shifts at the last minute. Maybe things don’t unfold exactly as planned. But the best weddings—the ones that feel effortless and full of life—aren’t about perfection. They’re about presence.

4. Protect the Things You Can
If unpredictability makes you uneasy, consider wedding insurance, backup plans, or flexible contracts. Knowing you have a safety net can make it easier to embrace the moment.

5. The Story is Already Unfolding
A wedding isn’t a single, unshakable moment—it’s part of something bigger. And no matter how much you plan, some things will go the way you imagined, and some won’t. That doesn’t make it any less meaningful. If anything, it makes it real.
