What are Micro Weddings? And what makes a good one?
A micro wedding is another term for what many people call elopements or intimate weddings. Due to the current travel restrictions, micro weddings are on the rise big time. In this post we want to offer some helpful advice for anyone looking to have a micro or smaller wedding. So here are our best micro wedding tips!
Micro weddings are classified as something with 20 or fewer guests.
Don’t miss the chance to celebrate!
We’ve stopped many couples just going straight to the courthouse with no plans. Why would you miss the chance to celebrate such a special day? The small size of your micro wedding means you can do it anywhere - how cool! You can marry in the mountains with an amazing view, infront of your fav classy building, at you home. You have the chance to plan something really special and it doesn’t need to take a lot of work!
Let you imagination run wild
With fewer guests, you can plan anything. A ceremony somewhere cool and then a unique dinner celebration. You can rent out a cafe, restaurant or bar for your reception celebration - they are already so nicely decorated you won’t have to do much.
VENUE, CELEBRANT, PHOTOGRAPHER
These are the first elements you’ll want to plan your micro wedding right.
A cool venue to get married at. Somewhere awesome for your party. A relaxed and fun celebrant. A photographer to help you plan something epic and of course, take next level photos you’ll love forever. Get these basic things right and your plans will be set in motion.
The party basics
Even if you are having just a few guest at your micro wedding, there are few elements that make up every good wedding party. Good food, good music, and a little alcohol. Of course flowers, cool stationary and decor are amazing, but they aren’t totally necessary - start with the basics and add to it from there.
MAKE IT MEANINGFUL
We are huge fans of extra personal vows. Don’t skip the chance to say something meaningful to each other. Other little personal touches throughout the day really make the day memorable. It’s up to you to infuse it with meaning so don’t let the day slip by without it.
