Do you get dressed up?

Typically, getting dressed for a wedding takes some time. You break out the good jewelry. You do your hair for a long time or have a professional do it. You wear great makeup because you know there will be a lot of pictures. So what about on Zoom? Do you have to go all out, even when your actual involvement will last maybe 30 minutes? Will you spend an hour getting ready for a one-hour on-screen event? Maybe you want to because you miss getting dressed up (rest assured you’ll have plenty of opportunities as soon as the world re-opens as research shows 2021 will be a very busy wedding year). So the thing with Zoom weddings is you don’t need to go all out, but don’t log on having clearly just rolled out of bed. The couple will only see you from the waist up, so you can put on a nice top and jewelry while staying in your leggings. But brush your hair and put on enough makeup to show you care.
