What Is a Micro Wedding & Could It Be the Right Choice for You?

Planning a wedding is no easy task, as it is a huge responsibility and investment. As a result, modern couples are reconsidering whether or not a wedding is worth it. While they do want to celebrate their love for one another with family and friends, the average wedding costs over 30,000, an amount which discourages them. 

A vast majority of couples invite around 150 guests, not all of whom are even close to them. Consequently, they are inviting only the nearest and dearest and having a micro wedding with approximately 50 guests.   

So, what exactly is a micro wedding and can it be the right choice for you and your partner? Let’s explore. 

Micro weddings

A micro wedding is one where a couple invites only the closest people in their lives. It is simple, intimate, relatively affordable, more meaningful and memorable, and has less than 50 guests. 

If the thought of saying your vows and celebrating your love in such a setting excites you, a micro wedding could be your best choice. 

Let’s explore dash tips to plan the best micro wedding. 

Cover the basics

Every wedding, irrespective of how extravagant or intimate, must surely have three things – amazing music, delicious food, and alcohol. Weddings are celebrations and they must seem as such. Food forms a base, alcohol makes merriment more fun, and music makes people groove. 

So, cover the basics by choosing a great venue/location, and then hiring your caterers, photographer, and band with extreme care. In addition, have a bar stocked with fine, aged wines, champagnes, or any alcohol of your choice.

Don’t forget the decor and flowers, as without them your venue will look bare and lacklustre. 

You can use dried or faux flowers for decor, but your bridal bouquet flowers should ideally be fresh. Bridal bouquet fresh flowerswill usually be in-season blooms, which look and smell amazing.   

Dress up as you desire

An advantage of having an intimate, micro wedding is that you can choose to make it as formal or informal as you prefer. If an informal, free-spirited affair is your preference, let your outfits reflect just that. Choose something comfortable based on your style. 

If a formal, black-tie event is what you like, choose the formal, white wedding gown of your choice.  

Make it personal  

Since only your nearest and dearest ones are in attendance, make your wedding personal for you all. Use everything you have in common to curate an experience that is truly special and unforgettable. 

Conclusion

Now that you know what a micro wedding is and how you can plan yours with ease, we are sure your big day will be just how you envisioned it to be.
