Couples across the Maritimes are having to cancel their wedding plans due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Neville MacKay owns My Mother’s Bloomers flower shop in Halifax and said he has already had couples cancel their orders for weddings that were supposed to take place this spring and summer.
He said it is impacting his business as well as others in the industry. “There is that whole systemic thing that now the growers have to throw the flowers away and they are not growing as many so we are having to worry about the next events coming along as well,” said MacKay. “It’s a little upsetting to postpone,” said Jessica Belliveau of Moncton, who said she was booked to be married in July.
