Wedding industry, couples pivot and adjust amid pandemic
Sharon Coleman, a wedding planner and owner of Ritzee Florist in Midtown, prepares for a wedding on Friday, June, 25, at the Reign Event Venue. “So many weddings were pushed back” because of the pandemic, she said. “Not only pushed back, so many went a different route – no guests, or limited guests. It affected us.” (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in canceled weddings, postponed weddings and reimagined “micro” weddings. That cost professionals in the wedding industry much revenue and caused couples to adjust their plans.
