Small weddings, AKA micro weddings or intimate weddings are taking over the wedding scene and for good reasons!
If you are newly engaged and mulling over the numbers there are a couple of things you should think about, aside from that all important budget!
Your Guest List
If you have a large, close family and you cannot imagine getting married without Uncle Bob’s bad jokes and shiny suit or your gorgeous nieces and nephews then a small wedding might not be for you
Your Personality
If you’re a little introverted and prefer a more intimate setting, a smaller wedding is perfect but if you’re dreaming about everyone you’ve ever met gazing in awe as you parade down the aisle, you might want to think bigger.
If you’ve mulled it over and decided your more of the quality over quantity sort, then here are a some pointers to get started:
Choose a Unique Venue
Think outside the box; your backyard, a museum, a castle, a picturesque country home(link to wedding page) maybe?
Keep it Simple
You don’t need to go overboard on decor and extras. A few simple person touches will create a beautiful, elegant and understated atmosphere. Visit our DIY Wedding Decor Blog for some inspiration.
Focus on the Food
People ALWAYS remember the food!! And when you’re keeping numbers lower you can focus on delicious canapes and mouth watering meals.
Personalise the Experience
Make your day feel extra special by incorporating personal touches. Writing your own vows is a beautiful start. Maybe your sister is a fabulous baker or a talented artist?
And here’s the kicker:
You can blow the budget on something you really want like a fab honeymoon or a deposit for a house… What’s not to love?
