Instagram post 2269769158332102997_2237463193 Friday the PM addressed the nation once again to inform St Lucia of their plan for dealing with this monster of a situation. This is the information the address gave us. Things- as in every country- are constantly and rapidly changing so keep checking in here for updates. Thanks and stay safe.
Instagram post 2268548629642235804_2237463193 A few things you can be getting done if home on lockdown in the runup to your big day 😊
Instagram post 2268315476629625325_2237463193 Please do your part to keep this as controlled as possible. 🙏🏽 this virus doesn’t discriminate and any one of us or our loved ones could be a worst case statistic just because someone wanted to get out of the house for a bit
Instagram post 2268313776829166006_2237463193 Some countries seem to have got through the worst of this but with many tragedies as a result, some are in the thick of it and for some -including St Lucia- its still the early stages. Wherever you are we at By Charlie send our thoughts, prayers and best wishes for a safe outcome to you all. Sending love & light ❤️
Instagram post 2266933412105800060_2237463193 If you’re going to be stuck at home with the kids during this troubling & worrying time you most likely dont want them stuck to the ipad or video games or saying “im borrred” every 5 minutes. Whilst you should keep up with whatever learning the school has sent, there are plenty of engaging activities you can do whilst school is closed and you are in lockdown. Here are some ideas. Top row L-R- family board games can be great fun and create some amazing memories for your kids, declutter & organize that space you’ve been avoiding- this is the perfect time to sort through the clutter that you’ve not had time for, teach the kids life skills and include them in your cooking or teach them some basic dishes. Middle row L-R- lose yourself in a book or read with your child to keep them motivated and engaged whilst off school, let your creative side shine and enjoy some art & crafts projects, have your child keep a diary/scrapbook of living through corona virus (this situation will one day be in history books after all) or create some short fiction stories /comic books to keep their imaginations switched on. Bottom Row L-R host some family movie nights- each take a turn picking the movie and snuggle up together, take a dive into your closet and dig out all those forgotten or underused pieces- put together some new, fresh outfits for when life gets back to normal, if you are lucky enough to have a garden enjoy the outdoors and some family gardening, pull up the weeds, plant some new seeds or just clean up the area a little.
Instagram post 2266732864110817255_2237463193 Pt 3- FYI for brides. The special policies here are for couples/weddings having to reschedule or cancel due to coronavirus only, standard contract policies apply otherwise. We hope these assist you in making your best decision.
Instagram post 2266718457339158800_2237463193 Pt 2- now the main question weve had from march- may brides is this “what should we do”. This is a challenging question for us as we are just as in the dark as they are. We cant answer that for others so the next question is “what would you do?” My reply to that is if possible I would reschedule, at this stage I would not risk my health, the wellbeing of my guests or my budget. Should something happen during the wedding week the entire mood of the whole occasion would change and we would not want a dark cloud over such a happy occasion: Here are 6 reasons for our recommendation and more on each below: 1- As with countries like italy and spain, things can and will change rapidly, sadly this is a case of when not if and being a small island it will spread fast once it begins to gain traction 2-We have more limited medical resources than the first world and less hospital beds available than will likely be required. Should you need medical care there can also be significant costs associated to this. Remember you may not be a vulnerable person, but your parent and other guests may be much more susceptible 3- For your wedding to be executed we are 100% reliant on our vendors and the venues to be able to deliver their product & service. At this time we cannot confirm this will be the case 4- Even if we and the vendors can deliver the wedding as planned, you are also at the mercy of airlines who are cancelling routes daily and border restrictions which are being implemented within 24-48 hours 5- If you choose to reschedule we are able to move your budget rather than lose it. You will be able to redeem any deposits made with vendors at another time, rather than risk losing them and having to repay 6- For now gatherings of any type over 50 people are recommended against, however this could swiftly become an official ban at which point we are at damage control point and may have to pay for certain elements regardless PLEASE NOTE- we 100% understand the upset and frustration that brides are feeling right now but we genuinely want the best for you all and want you to have the day of your dreams. We too are facing a time of uncertainty and fear but are here to help & assist
Instagram post 2266690641771987826_2237463193 Pt 1... to watch the full address back online please visit the facebook page ‘The Government of Saint Lucia’...
Instagram post 2265928348796900329_2237463193 St Lucia has announced its first set of travel bans and as of tomorrow the island is closed to the countries listed above. For now the island continues to accept visitors from the US but this could rapidly change once numbers of confirmed cases begin to increase. The PM will be addressing the nation at 9am (EST)today with more information so once we hear that can better guide others. Many Thanks
Instagram post 2265588946295957642_2237463193 By Charlie Brides & Grooms- we are currently working remotely and are monitoring the coronavirus situation closely. Given that we are based- and your big day is on- a small island reliant on tourism and lacking the medical care other countries have, we are watching this unfold by the hour and planning around this monster of a situation to work with you to make the best decisions possible.We are just waiting for the prime minister of st lucia to make his formal address to the nation and once we know the plans & instructions including decisions on border control and event shutdowns we can further advise. For weddings in march, april and may we are already speaking direct to the couples / necessary parties and will know more after tomorrow. For all other weddings- june onwards -we for now are carrying on as is until we see how this develops. We wish all of our amazing followers the best at this scary & uncertain time but remind you not to panic and to use common sense, follow correct hygiene and quarantine advice and be kind to one another. The whole world is in the same boat, stop bulk buying and leaving others without. We will keep the updates coming after the PMs address. ❤️
Instagram post 2264358618462023401_2237463193 Many brides are messaging us asking about the corona situation, we too are in the dark about this but more should be clear after this weekend. We will publish any updates here but please be mindful we have over 25 brides so individual replies re corona wont be sent until we know the plan for st lucia . Many Thanks and stay safe
