  most disruptive years. The pandemic COVID 19 that
  swept across the globe has dramatically changed
  everything, even something personal like
  weddings.
• With the new normal of isolation, social
  distancing, mandatory mask wearing and
  uncertainty, couples around the world are (forced
  to) reconsidering their upcoming nuptials.
• Steering through these emotional and logistical
  challenges only induces more stress and anxiety
  among the brides-to-be. Several Australian
  brides are now rescheduling their wedding for
  2021 and even till the end of summers, navigating
  bridal gown shopping has become a real challenge.

• The day is finally here! As you begin to try on
  bridal gowns, here are some tips you should keep
  in mind
• Avoid Bringing a Big Entourage
• Social distancing measures means you cant bring
  a huge group of friends. However, this is
  actually a blessing in disguise. A tiny support
  system means you wont have a myriad of
  conflicting opinions. This will make your
  shopping experience less stressful, ensuring you
  are not left frustrated and confused.
• Talk Clearly, Without any Hesitation
• Under normal circumstances, the wedding
  consultants would easily figure out whats going
  on in a brides mind. However, with all the
  mandatory masks, its difficult to read a brides
  expression. So, its always good to speak up. Be
  vocal and ask specific questions to ensure the
  consultants have a clear understanding of your
  requirements.
• Ask About the Delivery Dates
• Thanks to the pandemic, brides-to-be should not
  rely on the typical wedding shopping timeline.
  While most of the boutiques are open, they are
  working at a slower pace. So, make sure you have
  clearly stated your wedding date to ensure you
  get it delivered right on the time.
