6 things that make long-lunches the best way to do weddings in COVID times
As COVID continues to wind its way through NSW and ruin everyones wedding dreams, we’ve been blown away by some of the creative ways people are altering their plans to stick to the rules and still have a wonderful day.
The most popular change that we’ve seen is the switch to the long lunch instead of the night-time wedding. The main thing that you can’t do right now is dance at your wedding, so switching it up and having a long lunch is a perfect change. It eliminates the dance floor stress and create a completely unique and surprisingly awesome wedding day.
What’s so good about it you ask?
You get to get married
That’s the whole goal right! Make it happen :)
2. Breeze in the air
Open the doors and windows or set a table outside and get the breeze flowing through your hair. Guest love to dine outside, so setting your wedding during the day is a brilliant way of keeping everyone comfortable in the spring air, while enjoying the stunning surroundings of the venue you’ve booked.
3. Who doesn’t love champagne in the early afternoon?
Seriously? Day drinking champagne is super fun. Europeans do it all the time and you can see why - Crack open the Moet and get the bubbles flowing. You’re gonna have fun!
4. Have a beautiful conversation
One of the downfalls to normal night time weddings is the chaos of the evening and running around tables trying to say hello to everyone, whilst still trying to squeeze in a dance with those that you love and also get a second to chat to your new husband or wife. A long lunch = great conversations. Sit back and really enjoy the company of your guests at your beautiful wedding table. They’re there for a reason, so get talking to them :)
5. Dance pressure, no more
If you’re one of the many people that don’t love to dance, or especially don’t like to dancing for a crowd of people staring at you, then there’s no first dance pressure with a long-lunch. You can definitely still have one if you like, and that’s been happening a lot. But many people have scrapped the first dance completely and are super happy about it.
6. You get to get married
I know I mentioned it before, but, yes, again, you can get married if you want. It’s possible AND it can still be absolutely amazing!
Long lunches all the way.
Oberon Lane Duo or Trio packages are awesome for this. Add a sax player, or choose a jazz band and make it a lunch to remember!
