Shopping Tips for Wedding in Pandemic
Shopping during Covid-19 requires more prep work as compared to normal circumstances.
As compared to the previous times, shopping experience would be very much different for all, because today, safety will be your utmost priority. So be prepared for a completely different experience!

But now, the social distancing measures will require you to bring a tiny entourage while shopping for weddings. So it’s just you who has the major hand in the choices – which is a blessing in disguise.
2) Don’t Forget your Mask
In addition to your wedding dress, don’t forget to buy face masks (for both you and your crew!). Also, nowadays, fashionable masks are in trend for weddings, which are a new part of the wedding attire – The Bridal Face Masks.
3) Inquire about the Delivery Dates
Brides are already worried about their wedding event management during this pandemic. Therefore, you should not rely on the last dates for your dress to be delivered.
Always ask your consultant about the expected delivery date before committing to a wedding gown.
4) Sanitized Wedding Dresses – On Rent!

Well, your concerns about clothes that have passed through other people’s hands are natural.
But, WHO and Harvard Health have noted that washing clothes with the disinfectant detergents put your mind at ease. Also, they suggest doing so, to prevent yourself from this Covid-19.
Therefore, before buying a second-hand dress or renting one, make sure they are properly sanitized and washed thoroughly.
5) Go online for your wedding outfit shopping
