At Lighthouse Photography, we’ve seen firsthand how couples can thrive despite the uncertainty surrounding their big day.
By focusing on what matters most – love, commitment, and joy – you can create a truly unforgettable experience that reflects your unique story.
Postponing Your Wedding…
If you’re planning your wedding and it’s just around the corner, it may be best to reconsider your original timeline. In fact, we’ve written an extensive guide on navigating last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances – for those who need guidance on how to proceed, we’ve got you covered! On the other hand, if you’re set on tying the knot as planned, why not make it a truly intimate celebration with just the two of you?
A quiet, self-contained ceremony can be a beautiful way to mark your special day.
You’ll Need A Positive Mindset…
As we dive into the process of planning a wedding from home, let’s take a moment to acknowledge that unexpected changes can be tough to navigate. It’s essential to maintain a positive attitude, even when things don’t go as planned. We’ve got your back with a backup plan to ensure your special day is still filled with joy and excitement. Remember to focus on the adventure of planning your wedding together, rather than getting bogged down by unforeseen circumstances.
With time on your side, you can take your sweet time to plan every detail without feeling rushed.
Time To Get Inspired…
As you embark on the first step of your wedding planning journey, you’re in luck – it’s a task that can be tackled from the comfort of your own home. With plenty of downtime to spare, why not invite your partner to join you for a cozy afternoon of inspiration hunting? Start by exploring our comprehensive blog, where we share expert advice, insider tips, and helpful guides to get you started.
You can also discover endless ideas on our social media channels, including Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook, where we curate the most stunning wedding inspiration. From rings to hairstyles, dresses to cakes, floral arrangements and more, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to spark your imagination. Why not take it a step further by creating a vision board – a visual representation of your dream wedding that will help you stay focused on your goals.
Finding Suppliers…
While wedding expos or events may be temporarily off the radar, your quest for the ideal suppliers doesn’t have to grind to a halt. With a plethora of options available online, you can still explore and narrow down your choices from the comfort of your own home. For added convenience, our website’s ‘Find A Supplier’ section has been curated with a comprehensive list of suppliers, making it easy to get started on finding the perfect fit for your special day.
Do A Virtual Venue Tour…
Even without being able to visit multiple venues with your partner, technology can still play a significant role in planning your special day. One way to explore potential wedding locations is by taking advantage of 360-degree virtual tours, which are often available on venue websites or social media platforms like Pinterest. If you do find a venue that catches your eye but lacks an immersive digital experience, don’t hesitate to reach out and request a virtual tour via Skype, Zoom, or FaceTime.
This not only allows you to get a better feel for the space but also provides an opportunity to ask questions and clarify any details with the venue’s coordinator.
Virtually Try On Your Wedding Dress…
As the world adjusts to new realities, many wedding dress stores are embracing technology to bridge the gap. One innovative approach is virtual try-on, allowing brides and their entourage to sample dresses remotely! While some may still prefer the hands-on experience of trying on gowns in-store, this digital solution can still be a valuable asset. Rather than waiting for wedding dress boutiques to reopen, you can use virtual try-ons to streamline your search.
By narrowing down your options, you’ll not only save time but also gain a deeper understanding of what styles suit you best.
Book A Virtual Consultation With A Photographer…
When searching for a photographer’s portfolio online, it’s likely that their website will showcase a selection of their sample work. However, you may still have questions or concerns about the type of shots you want to capture on your special day. To ensure you’re making an informed decision and getting the most out of your photography experience, consider scheduling a virtual consultation with the photographer.
This will provide an opportunity for you to discuss specific photo ideas and concepts with them, allowing you to get a better sense of their style and approach before booking. As seen on The Raw Photographer’s website, this type of consultation can be incredibly valuable in helping you visualize your wedding photography and feel more confident in your choice.
Try Your Wedding Cake…
While some may think it’s impossible to plan a wedding from home, the truth is that many catering services have adapted their usual operations to cater to couples who prefer to plan remotely. With virtual consults and tasting boxes now available, couples can get everything they need for their special day without leaving the comfort of their own homes.
In fact, thanks to technology, it’s easier than ever to set up a virtual consultation, sample wedding cakes, and even have taste samples delivered right to your doorstep.
Send Your Wedding E-Vite…
In today’s digital age, creating wedding invitations has never been easier or more convenient. With just your laptop and an internet connection, you can access a vast array of customizable templates and design your own unique invites in the comfort of your own home. Once you’ve nailed down your special day’s date, you can effortlessly extend invitations to all your loved ones with just a few clicks.

Write Your Vows…
As you enjoy the extra time at home, consider it an opportunity to focus on crafting the most meaningful part of your special day – your vows. It’s easy to get swept up in the details of planning, but don’t neglect this crucial aspect of your wedding celebration. Take the pressure off by getting a head start and investing time into writing your vows. This thoughtful approach will allow you to create a truly personal and heartfelt expression of your love and commitment.
By doing so, you’ll not only have a sense of accomplishment leading up to your big day, but also a beautiful reminder of your love for years to come.
