Minimony
While many of our brides have had to reschedule their initial wedding plans, many have opted to honor their original wedding date with a “minimony”.
A minimony, a mini ceremony, is a way to still celebrate your special day while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Having a minimony is a great way to get together a handful of your immediate family and closest friends to celebrate your love.
