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.

A recent article on Brides.com talks about how more than 80% of couples say that their expectations and plans for their wedding have changed since the pandemic.

These cheap dinner ideas come from frugal ingredients where the meat is versatile and allows you to shop according to the current market prices.

Tips on Planning a Micro Wedding Just like with a regular 200-person celebration, you still need to plan and set boundaries for things such as budget, guest list, and attire.

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.

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.

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.

Food/Beverage

Considering a three-course meal instead of a five or six-course meal will allow for delicacies such as lobster, caviar, or filet mignon.

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.

Floral and Décor

Certain flowers are not available throughout the year. You may have dreamed of a bouquet filled with dahlias or peonies, but your wedding is in January.

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.
