The “new normal” still isn’t quite normal, and we have no idea how long this could last. While of course, we would love for all of our nearest and dearest to be in attendance, right now that is a near-impossibility. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still have an incredible wedding day, complete with speeches, photos, vows, and being able to see everyone’s reactions. It’ll just look a little more … virtual. Let’s dive in!

At a minimum, you need a laptop, tablet or phone with a camera. If using a phone or tablet, you may also want to get a tripod to mount your device for steady, even viewing. Take your tech for a test run on whichever platform you intend to use so you can ensure quality will be up to par.

While you may have had to nix your venue, rentals and catering, a few vendors may still come into play. A photographer, for one, is a vendor you may still want to keep in the fold. Your cake is another piece that doesn’t need to fall by the wayside, though you may want to downsize it. Finally, your officiant can either join the two of you in-person (at a distance) or they can lead the ceremony online*! Just make sure to get that marriage license signed and mailed in!
