The rise of the hybrid wedding

Virtual wedding-dress fittings are likely to last, according to the Journal:

• At David’s Bridal, the country's largest chain of wedding-dress stores, you "can now make a Zoom appointment with the chain’s stylists and let up to 100 dearly beloved friends and family help you say 'yaaas' to the dress."
• You can use your phone "to see an array of 86 David’s Bridal gowns on models—and 'walk' 360 degrees around them, appraising the dress from every angle, right there in your living room."

Ditto for virtual tastings:

• "Creative Cake Design by Tammy Hodge in Wilmington, N.C., [charges] $100 to overnight squares of four cake flavors and six fillings to clients' doors in advance of a Google Meet tasting."

The wedding-registry site Slowdance will "hold" registry purchases, then ship the gifts once you're settled in a new home.
