For 26 years, we have been fortunate enough to work with countless amazing couples all around the world. Recently, we've noticed many couples struggling to decide whether to keep or delay their wedding date amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Good Rule of Thumb: If you haven't worn something in a year, it's time to let it go.
Also a wise man once said: If it doesn't bring you joy, let it go.
If it's harshly used then throw it away or if it's able to be donated then donate it. There are many less fortunate people out there that we can help.
