2020 was indeed the year of roller-coaster ride of emotions! As the pandemic took hold of the world, people were forced to press the pause button on many aspects of their everyday lives! Schools and colleges were canceled, restaurants were closed (though some got closed permanently), vacations were postponed, along with the weddings! All the newly engaged couples who had planned to have a luxurious and memorable wedding in 2020, got stressed from the pandemic and were heightened even further! As concerns over large gatherings and celebrations grew by the day, many soon-to-be-married couples had to rethink their wedding celebrations!
With things coming back on track, all thanks to the vaccine, wedding venues are being booked up in just a blink of an eye, and again many newly engaged couples are rethinking about their wedding day! Though, there are couples who have already waited an entire year to get married when COVID-19 hit the world. Now, again having rescheduled their wedding dates for the next year, they would be waiting for even longer. The uncertainty of it all, led many newly engaged couples to ditch their grand and luxurious wedding plans of saying ‘I do’ in the presence of their 300 wedding guests, and instead, to opt for smaller and safer, but all the more special, mini-monies for their wedding celebration with their nearest and dearest!
Although COVID-19 has practically halted all social events all across the globe, people who are in love cannot stop being in love and announcing it in the presence of all their loved ones!

Well, there are other brides who have always dreamed of having a wedding ceremony with no guest lists, no extensive and elaborate wedding reception dinner menus, no live band, no maid of honor, and so on! For some brides, these kinds of thoughts sound incomplete for a dream wedding. But there are some modern brides for whom the absence of all these things is utterly freeing! And when we say the absence of all these elements from a wedding, we are talking about elopements here! After COVID-19, a large number of newly engaged millennial couples are opting for elopements instead of having even minimonies!

There are some brides who simply do not dream of walking down the aisle in a designer bridal gown or trying on every wedding dress in the bridal stores! Let us tell you that when it comes to weddings, especially weddings after COVID-19, lots of modern brides are not only making their own set of rules for their wedding day but also changing the way they shop for their wedding dresses! Brides are opting for more casual wedding dresses as they are setting their hearts on elopements! As these days an intimate celebration can absolutely still feel incredibly luxe!
All the brides-to-be, if you have made up your mind for eloping, then trust us the options are wide! Ultimately, what you decide to wear on the special day of your elopement comes down to what your personal vision is! You don’t have to wear a short, white cocktail dress or a pantsuit (although they are so trendy and look sexy, too!).
