The pandemic has led most weddings to be postponed. From a spring-summer wedding of 2020, some newly engaged couples are looking at a new wedding date in fall or winter. In some cases, weddings have moved to a similar season but a different year. In such a case, the bride and groom do not have to worry much about the colors of their wedding. However, in cases where the weddings have been postponed to a different season, there are many ways to transition those colors. You don’t have to stress about changing your wedding colors, ditching already-bought wedding elements, or purchasing news ones according to the season. The colors of your wedding can be wisely transitioned into a new season by working on their accents, upcycling, personalizing the details, and some DIYs. Surprised? Read this blog to understand the different ways of transitioning your wedding look after a change-the-date and change of the season.

Love is love. And love does not care. It’s just us. We think too much about celebrating our love in the most unique or satisfying way. However, if you take a closer look, the soul of your love is celebrated all the time. On little date nights at Starbucks! Or Target! (yes, it’s cute!). Little holidays you’ve taken together, rainy moments you’ve spent together, or even cuddling at home on a Chinese takeout! And when your big day arrives, know that love takes another dimension of promises, vows, a beautiful family. But love remains the same. We hope we have inspired you to celebrate your love just like how it is meant to be - personalized. We’ll be back with so much more next weekend!
