We’re <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> into <\/span>micro weddings<\/span><\/a>—and we’re not alone. In the age of socially distanced gatherings, there’s no better way to tie the knot than with a small, yet totally epic event. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re wondering how to make sure your micro wedding embodies the uniqueness of your love, you came to the right place. In this article we cover everything from creative micro wedding ideas to why you should invest in experiences for your special day. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Micro Wedding?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Micro weddings are a new trend<\/span><\/a> and because of this there’s a lot of confusing and conflicting information about them We know, we’ve done the research. <\/span><\/p>\n
Micro weddings are closely related to intimate weddings. In fact, micro weddings are intimate by nature and typically have less than 30 people in attendance—including vendors. So, why are they causing so much confusion? <\/span><\/p>\n
Like we said, they are a new trend! The flexibility, intimate nature, and creativity micro weddings offer are exactly why we love it. The couple planning the wedding—that’s you— have the power to define what micro means. It’s more about a mindset than a precise number of seats at the dinner table. <\/span><\/p>\n

Host a family-only staycation.<\/b> If you live within driving distance to a major city, chances are they have a selection of amazing hotels to choose from. Gather your closest family and friends and get away for the weekend. Book yourself a spa day, delicious meal, and say your I do’s. <\/span>

Cozy up at your favorite restaurant<\/b>. Photographer <\/span>Nikk Nguyen<\/span><\/a> submitted this idea to us—we totally dig it. Many restaurants are offering reservations for small groups. We love the idea of <\/span>supporting the service industry<\/span><\/a> while also celebrating your marriage over an incredible meal and good company. <\/span><\/li>\n
Incorporate a unique ceremony tradition.<\/b> Alex Krotkov<\/span><\/a> is a photographer who lives in the south of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, right on the Pacific Coast. He said, “Some of the couples who come here to get married love to go for the option of the ancestral Mexican wedding ceremonies. They’re not only beautiful and a nice fit for the miniature weddings and elopements, but are also very original and have a bit of a mystical and spiritual ambiance. This connection with the indigenous traditions and culture is something our destination couples love (not only those of Mexican descent). They’re a great idea for a micro wedding.” <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
