Micro Weddings are all the Rave – Is It Time to Skip the Big Wedding?

The last two years have really impacted weddings and how they’re enjoyed. Micro weddings are all the rave now and here’s why. Remember when you were little and dreamt of your Wedding day?

You start to plan your big day and realize that the cost of having something so grand is more than you thought it would be.

Tips on Planning a Micro Wedding

1.

Budget

Your budget should be a number agreed upon by you and your significant other. It can be very easy to get carried away because you aren’t spending as much.

2.

Guestlist

Your guest list could be a point of contention between loved ones and family; however, keeping in mind the many restrictions and your budget for the guest list is essential.

3.

Venue

Most micro wedding venues do not occur in your typical reception hall space. So, there will be many things to consider before booking a room.

4.

Food/Beverage

Food and Beverage is an area you may splurge on since fewer people will be accommodated. Considering a three-course meal instead of a five or six-course meal will allow for delicacies such as lobster, caviar, or filet mignon.

5.

Attire

Your scaled-down celebration may now allow for a custom-made suit and dress or those Christian Louboutin wedding shoes you have been dreaming of.

6.

Floral and Décor

It is essential to be clear in your vision and budget with your floral and event designer to understand what they have to work with to bring your vision to life.

7.

Photography/Entertainment/Officiant

Another area that you can splurge on or keep within budget. Always read reviews, look at their work on social media pages, and always ensure a contract is in place. Just like with venues, these vendors may be fully booked on the day you have chosen as your day.

There are so many great benefits to having a micro wedding. They allow space for creativity, an opportunity to splurge on higher-end menus or drinks, and are, most importantly, an intimate celebration of your union.
