Wedding planner Bianca Francois delivers the wedding of Norman and Tiera Belton's dreams for only $10k.

The nice thing is that your partner has planned a wedding before, so he has some ideas. The annoying thing is that your partner has planned a wedding before, so he’s recycling ideas. He may already know who the best florist, and caterer, and even wedding planner is because…he used them on his first wedding. But now you feel those are forever tainted. You don’t want to essentially have the same wedding he had the first time. So you’re stuck between wanting to rely on his expertise, since he’s done this before, and wanting to ignore everything he knows, because it’s tied to his first wedding.

Wedding regulations will continue to fluctuate as people get vaccinated, so we spoke to Jeffra Trumpower, Senior Creative Director at WeddingWire, about what that means for betrothed couples.

Not quite sure how to adjust wedding plans during the time of COVID? We put together nine creative ideas that will help you have a safe and joyous love day,

It seems like so much is at stake if they cancel now. But, none of what’s at stake if they cancel is as big as what’s at stake if they don’t: people’s lives.

Weddings as we know them, may not take place again for a long time. Think of what goes into a regular wedding. Potentially a hundred individuals may have to travel from various parts of the world to get there.

You do not need to shell out a ton of money to print a hundred personal programs, for each person to take home. They aren’t keeping those. They go straight in the trash. Put the program on a large board where all the guests can find it and leave it at that.

When it’s time to hit the dance floor, you could have a choreographed dance prepared together, as a family. Just be ready for everyone to film it, and for the possibility it goes viral online because it’s so darn cute.

If the couple didn’t know each other very well and got engaged too quickly (and I’ll suggest anywhere under two years of dating is rather fast), then wedding planning can bring that to light. Almost every element of someone’s personality is put to the test during wedding planning. Some couples just realize Oh I don’t actually like this person through wedding planning.

You have your bridesmaids over to address envelopes, pick out bridesmaids dresses, assemble guest gift bags and more. But these parties happen in your shared home with your partner, so he often comes home to the floors and surfaces littered with stamps and ribbons.

There should be a clear itinerary and well-marked signs so that guests always know where to go to eat/use the restroom/take photos/dance etc. Without these, your whole night could be thrown off. You might make your grand entrance to the dining hall and find that only half the guests are there.

You boss your bridesmaids around, and give them orders as if they’re being paid for this. They’re not. And you don’t even say thank you.
