Happy Sunday, I hope you had a relaxing weekend (unless you're in the wedding industry too, in which case, I hope you good sleep in tomorrow, lol!). My wish for you today is to be able to take a slow 5-10 minutes, gather your morning beverage and enjoy reading our weekly blog post! No Sunday Scaries here!
Now, from your local Maple Ridge Wedding Coordinator and Wedding Planner who has done weddings from Metro Vancouver, to Alberta. We LOVE a good intimate wedding celebration, for SO many reasons, so here are just a few of those reasons! If you don't have time to read through our blog post today or would like a in depth guide to micro celebrations from us, here is a quick link to our micro wedding page!
With so many options available, it can be overwhelming trying to decide what type of wedding is right for you. One option that has been growing in popularity in recent years is the micro wedding. If you're looking to keep things intimate and budget-friendly, a micro wedding may be just what you need.
What is a micro wedding?
A micro wedding is a small, intimate wedding with typically fewer than 30 guests. It's a scaled-down version of a traditional wedding but still includes all of the important elements such as a ceremony, reception, and dinner. The main difference is that you'll be surrounded by only your closest family and friends.
Why should you consider a micro wedding?
There are several reasons why a micro wedding might be the perfect choice for you:
Budget-friendly: With fewer guests, you'll save money on everything from food and drinks to decor and invitations. This means you can allocate your budget towards other important things like your honeymoon, a down payment on a house, or a whole wedding weekend away. OR, it may give you the extra resources to add a bit of flare to your event that you may not have been able to have with larger guest lists.
More flexibility and creativity: With a smaller guest count, you'll have more flexibility to get creative with your venue and decor. You can choose a unique location that may not be able to accommodate a larger wedding, like a backyard or small restaurant. You can also splurge on personalized details like a custom wedding cake or unique favors.
Quicker to plan: Planning a wedding can be stressful and time-consuming. With a micro wedding, you'll have fewer guests to coordinate with, which means less time spent on logistics and more time to enjoy your engagement. Plus, you'll be able to plan your wedding in a shorter amount of time, which means less time spent stressing and more time spent enjoying your engagement.
Who should consider a micro wedding?
Micro weddings can be a great option for many couples, but they're not for everyone. Here are a few things to consider when deciding if a micro wedding is right for you:
Desire for an intimate wedding: If you're looking to keep things small and intimate, a micro wedding is a great choice. You'll be surrounded by only your closest family and friends, which means you'll be able to focus on the people who matter most.
Budget-conscious: If you're working with a smaller budget, a micro wedding can be a great way to keep costs down. With fewer guests, you'll be able to allocate your budget towards other things that are important to you.
Flexibility with your venue: If you're open to a non-traditional wedding venue, a micro wedding can be a great way to get creative with your location. You can choose a unique venue that may not be able to accommodate a larger wedding.
Quicker planning timeline: If you're short on time, a micro wedding can be a great option. With fewer guests to coordinate with, you'll be able to plan your wedding in a shorter amount of time.
In conclusion, a micro wedding can be a great option for couples looking for an intimate and budget-friendly wedding! With fewer guests, you'll be able to get creative with your venue and decor, while still having all of the important elements of a traditional wedding that you may wish to include (or, stay clear of any traditions if you prefer! There is no "norm" anymore!). If you're considering a micro wedding, be sure to weigh the pros and cons to decide if it's the right choice for you.
