Micro Weddings
What a year!
One of the things we have learned in 2020 is that you don’t have to have a big wedding to have a great wedding. You can have a small, intimate wedding with all the meaning and emotion of a bigger event. A micro-wedding allows you to focus on what really matters to you. It is your wedding, it should be all about you, not the 500 guests and the logistics of getting them all fed.
A micro wedding may offer you the freedom to focus on what you really want, such as an unconventional venue, exceptional catering, or a special guest who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend. A micro wedding also allows us more creativity to make some exciting and dramatic images.
Micro-Wedding
A micro-wedding is very limited in time and size. I use “micro” to describe a wedding with just the ceremony, no reception, and under about 10 participants. I would include an elopement or a courthouse wedding in this category. I would expect a micro-wedding to take under two hours.
With current restrictions imposed by Covid-19, some people are having a legal micro-wedding now and planning the reception, or another ceremony and a reception, for sometime in the future when the situation becomes more normal.
Small Wedding
A small wedding has all the elements of a traditional wedding, including a reception, but with a smaller guest list. I can’t really point at an exact number, under 50 guests would be a small wedding, over 100 would not.
Small weddings are a great way to have some of the more elegant features included in your wedding, while still maintaining your budget.
Full Wedding
I think this label is self explanatory. This is the traditional big wedding with over 100 guests, a big venue, food, dancing, the whole nine yards. Both a small wedding and a full wedding are going to be all day affairs.
