Italian wedding dress designer, Pietro Demita, protested Italy’s COVID-19 ban on large gatherings like weddings by burning his entire 2020-2021 collection.
Demita is the owner of Diamond Couture in Lecce, Italy and he has not taken the ban on weddings lightly.
Speaking to The Observer, Demita said: “I set my creations alight, the fruits of my talent and my artistry, to send a strong message. Because, even if I hadn’t, the economic and political decisions imposed during the coronavirus crisis would have sent them up in smoke anyway.”
While there are no images or footage of the dress-burning, Demita said the ordeal is representative of what the wedding industry is going through.
He spoke to a local publicaiton, La Gazzetta Del Mezzogiorno and explained that the wedding industry as a whole is at risk of demise due to the economic impact of COVID-19.
He explained that he burnt his dresseses because the government’s decisions have “set fire to our future and our dreams.”

Once again humans are showing that during times of difficulty, we can come together even in the smallest of ways. Those who have missed their wedding dates as…
If you’re planning a winter wedding, make sure your makeup look is exactly right. You might hope your wedding date is still safe from the coronavirus, or you may have changed things a bit and opted for a Zoom wedding, or private home wedding. Either way, your look is everything and we’re here to help you get it perfect.
This winter, sultry, edgy and bold is the way to go. Colder temperatures call for warmer looks. However, you don’t have to go for the cliche dark red lips. You can even go for the icy snow queen-look and opt for nude lips. We’re seeing a lot of plum, smokey rose and bronze-nude. Take a look at these fabulous lip looks:

Couples determined to marry amid the coronavirs pandemic have been forced to get creative with their nuptials. One pair opted for a unique drive-in movie theatre as the perfect location to bring the love and encourage social distancing.
Bri and Lindsey Leaverton from Austin, Texas were meant to marry on April 10, 2020. However, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic threw a spanner in the works.
“We had everything planned down to a tee,” Lindsey told Buzzfeed News. “We were supposed to get married on 4.10.20, Good Friday, because nothing says, ‘Happy Easter’ like a good old lesbian wedding.”
Their wedding planner then came up with the idea of having the wedding at a drive-in movie theatre, which will allow more guests and follow social distancing rules.
They settled on Doc’s Drive In Theatre in nearby Buda, Texas, which was marked as an essential service and thus allowed to remain open as they also serve food for pickup.
They tied the knot on April 28, with about 85 cars of guests in attendance. Guests stayed in their cars for the entire event. They also decorated their cars in celebration, and showed up in their pajamas as per the brides’ requests.Guests were served champagne and popcorn by theatre staff wearing gloves and face masks.
The ceremony was livestreamed on the two theatre screens, as well as on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube so that those not in attendance could still witness the big day.
Following the ceremony, musician Lindsey surprised her new wife with an original song.

While the wedding was not was they had originally envisioned, it was still a special day they will cherish forever.
“It was above and beyond anything we could’ve dreamed of,” Lindsey told Buzzfeed News. ”I’m so glad it happened the way it did. Our whole theme has been: we’re making some really tasty lemonade out of some really rotten lemons.”
