Vendors Share | Words of Encouragement for Uncertain Times

As both couples and wedding industry professionals navigate this season of discernment, sacrifice, and adjusting expectations during the COVID-19 pandemic, we asked our vendors to share one thing they’d like to share with Catholic brides and grooms right now.

We hope that, like us, you’ll find support, encouragement, and peace in their tips. Here, encouragement from Spoken Bride vendors as you navigate wedding planning in the coming months.

Don't let it rob you of your peace, joy and love. Look for silver linings, they are there! - Allison Girone, G Photography and Films | @gphotographyandfilms

Remember that there is more than one way to handle a wedding affected by COVID.

A lot of it depends on your wedding vendors and their contracts, so before trying to tackle any decisions reach out to all of them and find out their policies for this situation. - Maria, Fenix Photography, Design, & Events | @fenixpde

Your love is not limited to a date. You will get married and it will be the best date. In the end it is about the sacrament and your spouse. - Savanna Faulkner, Saving the Date | @savingthedateevents

Find one bible verse that brings you hope and peace and every time a thought of uncertainty or fear comes to mind (or you have to make a hard decision regarding your upcoming wedding day), say that verse aloud! - Juliana Tomlinson, Juliana Tomlinson Photography | @julianatomlinsonphotography

I have a Catholic friend who got married a month earlier due to the coronavirus and thought her story was very beautiful. [There are still] so many bits of grace and consolation for brides. - Janisse Valenzuela, Janisse Valenzuela Photography | @janissevalenzuelaphoto
