4 good reasons to say yes during the Covid period

“L’Atelier Atypique is a wedding planner agency located in Lyon, the third biggest city in France with its historical, architectural and culinary heritage. The Covid period challenged us all, despite that weddings continue to be celebrated for us wedding providers to offer a new format to say yes! There are many reasons why you should not say yes during Covid, however, to have it celebrated with our newlyweds in 2020, we give you 4 good reasons to say yes during the Covid period.

1. Say yes with people who matter most

Weddings are reduced during the covid period, this is a great excuse not to have to invite a great great aunt or see our parents’ friends to our wedding! Normally this is always a problem with weddings. Celebrating your wedding during covid will give you the best excuse to surround yourself exclusively with the people most important to you.

2. Bring a moment of joy

The period is starting to grow long. Celebrating love will be a great gift from you to your guest to bring hope and happiness to the lives of your loved ones. Finding each other will be that better. The opportunity for your loved ones to take off their “work at home” outfits, their plaid and their slippers to put on their best outfit for you.

3. Dare to imagine the wedding of your dreams

Reducing the number of guests also cuts your wedding budget. The opportunity to be able to recover the savings achieved in the rental of a place, or the caterer to please you with a longer romantic photo session, with your dream photographer and videographer who will create unique and creative images for you.

An intimate moment to meet the two of you and celebrate your union. We have imagined for you how we imagine Covid weddings. The Atelier Atypique teams have imagined a colorful, odious, editorial and spontaneous elopement. The opportunity to indulge yourself in the floral decoration for a “wow” result immortalized by a real team of professionals.

4. A good reason to get married twice

Covid weddings are small, the opportunity to meet, comfort and love each other in a small group. Getting together with your lover for an afternoon and having a beautiful ceremony to have the most beautiful memories in pictures. The couples who said yes in 2020 haven’t said their last word, they will celebrate their union at a big reception when all this is over!

Surround yourself with professionals, they will be there to support you and advise you in the event of the unexpected! We have already had the experience for a year and we are able to support you as best as possible.”
