Imagine…
A warm and sunny summer day. Two lovers slowly walk down towards the colorful flower arch. Exquisite bridal gown with a fairy long veil and elegant man’s suit. Hundreds of eyes fixed on them, waiting to hear the cherished “I DO”. Around them, in pairs, organizers run to and fro, trying to coordinate the large number of guests and keep up to the hours agreed in the heavy schedule for the day. Ritual after ritual, fixed under an hour events and overwork. A glitzy wedding like something out of a movie, but in reality unending hustle and bustle and worry. Such a long awaited day, and filled with tension and lack of time for free conversations and fun with the guests.
And now imagine…
At the same time in an unknown and exclusive location in a foreign country… A happy young couple, declaring their sacred “I DO’s” in front of their closest ones and sharing with them the unforgettable emotions of their special day. A close-knit group, made up of only the guests closest to the hearts of the new family. People full of sincere smiles and goodwill. An event planned with attention to even the smallest detail and sophistication. Individually selected cocktails and dishes served with care in elegant surroundings. Long conversations, fun and unforgettable memories. Calm, carefree, easy…
If you unanimously recognized yourself in the second picture, then undoubtedly the micro wedding is the right choice for you! But what does it actually represent?
As the name suggests, the main detail in this type of wedding is the number of guests. In the simplest terms, a so-called micro wedding is a wedding with observance of the basic traditions and rituals, but in a mini size, with no more than 50 attendees. This is a trend in hosting these types of events that has been gaining popularity for years and which the Covid epidemic has largely cemented. While during the lockdowns and due to the restriction imposed, couples were forced to shorten their invite lists and celebrate only with those closest to them, these days newlyweds do so for a number of other reasons. Let’s take a look at what they are.
Personal preferences
It is your personality and character that will help you choose the type of wedding that is right for you. For many couples, the idea of standing in front of a huge group of people to prove their love is a bit of an exaggeration to say the least. If you’re an introvert by nature and the thought of hundreds of eyes fixed solely on you fills you with dread, then a smaller size wedding is the right choice. This way, many couples feel more at ease and are able to enjoy the true meaning of their day, which is to bond forever with the one they are deeply in love with. It is the micro wedding that will give you the opportunity to be surrounded by your dearest ones and enjoy each other’s sincere emotions.
Attitude
Many guests at large events share that it’s time to leave the event before the new couple has had a chance to reach out for congratulations. It’s the smaller event and more free time that will give you the opportunity to truly connect with people. Why should your day be a constant stream of greetings and send-offs, and bring guilt that you haven’t properly spoken to the hundreds of guests individually, when you can rely on a small number of invitees to share the excitement of your magical day with. Why choose a one-size-fits-all menu and gifts when you can individually select and personally present them with desire and love.
Location
The fact is that cutting the guest list leads to an increase in the budget for each of them. A shortened guest list gives you another advantage, a myriad of wedding location options at home and abroad. This way, you can bet on exclusive service and exquisite in details decoration without any worries.
Liberty
Large traditional weddings come with a lot of formalities, expectations and requirements, while micro weddings offer couples the freedom to think “out of the box” and be flexible in their creative ideas. To spend a day without to-the-minute schedules, heavy formalities and hundreds of guests waiting to be seated and entertained. To choose their own program for their wedding day.
