Micro-weddings may soon become the new normal
The emergence of Covid-19 has changed many things—how we work, commune, dine, and amongst these, how weddings are celebrated. Since February, weddings have been downsized, postponed, and even held virtually as couples struggle to adapt to the new measures brought about by the pandemic.
As of June 19 in phase two of Singapore’s safe re-opening, it is stated that “solemnisations at home, and at ROM or ROMM, may take place with up to 10 people, excluding the solemniser. At other venues, they may take place with up to 20 people, excluding the solemniser.”
Despite the uncertainty, some couples continue to forge ahead with their nuptials this year, with trimmed down guest lists, venues, and festivities. We speak to wedding experts Vivian Ng, founder and chief planner of Lejoy; Caroline Yakop-Lim, principal planner of The Wedding Entourage; and Tiffany Ong, director of events at Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore to find out how couples can make the most of the situation and what will become of weddings in a post-Covid-19 world.
