It’s slowly becoming clearer— the future of 2020 weddings in the QCA is bleak. Unfortunately, a 50-guest wedding and a socially-distanced dance floor aren’t what most of today’s couples have in mind. Chances are you’re going to need to change your plans. After you’ve contacted your vendors and your VIP family members and bridal party, your next step will be to notify your guests.

No one could have seen a pandemic affecting our lives so greatly, and no one really knows how the next few months will go. Iowa and Illinois are approaching the re-opening process quite differently, but we’re here to clarify what’s currently allowed in each state and give you some pointers for moving forward.

Today, we’ve asked QCA wedding vendors to share their thoughts and advice with area couples considering postponing. We recently released our guide for decision-making and arranging alternate dates — COVID-19 & Your Wedding. And we also have some graphics to help you organize availability of your vendors, friends, and family for potential postponement dates. You can download that here— Vendor Potential Dates and VIP Potential Dates. We’re also working with vendors to compile a spreadsheet of their 2020 availability.
