Micro weddings… a new buzz word in the wedding field, but what does it mean? and why is it so popular all of the sudden? As the name suggests a micro wedding is simply a smaller version of a regular wedding. Each micro wedding looks different just like typical weddings vary. What unites all micro weddings is that everything is done on a smaller level. That means less guests so the counts on everything go down and tend to feel more intimate. Some couples choose to do destination micro weddings and sometimes call those elopements depending how small. Technically some say 10 and under is an elopement and between 11-50 would be a micro wedding but who really cares what we call it if it works for you?!?
How did these micro weddings get so popular? Well that whole COVID thing limited numbers of people gathering and also limited the venues that stayed open based both on laws and which venues survived. There was essentially a “traffic jam” of brides who postponed their weddings along with new couples who got engaged during 2020-2021. Out of this increased need for wedding venues birthed the popularity in micro weddings. Some couples choose micro weddings for these reasons and many are choosing the more intimate wedding type. I say it feels a little more “homey” and easy going when the groom and bride all have their very closest people supporting them, but of course only you know what type of wedding is the right one for you!
Until next time remember that it’s your big day so follow your dreams when it comes to planning! Following this advice I truly believe weddings can be fun!
