At present, the only weddings that can go ahead are relatively low-key. Since 17th May, ceremonies welcoming up to 30 guests have been permitted in England and Wales.
Depending on the UK’s progress in managing the pandemic, the government is aiming to remove all limits on weddings ceremonies and receptions on 21st June – along with all other social distancing restrictions, of course.
The prospect of being able to hold a dream wedding (and hen do) once again is clearly stoking interest over on Pinterest. According to research by money.co.uk, the top wedding trend on Pinterest at the moment is… Harry Potter weddings. Well, who can blame any couple for craving a wedding with an escapist fantasy vibe?
Also trending on Pinterest in May 2021 are “vintage wedding”, “earthy wedding” and “marquee wedding”. It’s not difficult to see why the latter might be proving especially popular given that we know Covid-19 spreads a lot less easily in fresh air.
