Micro Wedding , Mini Wedding, Intimate Wedding, Elopement, Minimony, etc, etc, etc…
I’m sure you have heard these terms being used a lot since Rona went KABOOM and stepped her messy behind into the room.
And you are probably confused about which is which and which is right for you? Of course you are. It can all be a bit confusing because some of us (in the wedding industry) use these terms interchangeably and that alone adds to the confusion. So let me help you out a bit:
Sssssh it’s a secret
Elopement
Elopements are typically last minute and hush hush. Usually in some obscure place with only you, your fiancee, a photographer, an officiant, maybe a witness and Jesus. Most times that’s it. You run away elope and you go tell it on the mountain later.
Micro Wedding
This is for the couple that wants the wedding but not all the fluff. Low key in comparison to your traditional weddings with a max of 20(ish) guests. While you do have the ceremony, a reception and other aspects of the wedding, the flow of it all has a unique flair and is less traditional than most. These or for the couples that really want to shake things up a bit.
Intimate Wedding
Take a traditional wedding and shriiiiiink it down to a package fit for 50 (ish) guests, Flowers, candles, cocktails, budget, etc. This type of wedding allows couples the opportunity to really create a nice ambiance and experience for their guests. No more missing out on the details and fun stuff because you experience it right along with them. This is also a nice opportunity for clients to have all the bells, whistles and the cherry on top when it comes to wedding decor because now you are catering to less guests. So plan as much or as little as your heart desires.
No one wedding style will yield more marriage blessings over the other
As you can see, there are many ways to celebrate a happy union, especially while things seem a bit unsure at the moment. No matter what you call it. No one way is more right than the other. No one way is going to be more legal than the other (provided it’s licensed). And no one way is going to yield more marriage blessings over the other. They all work. The choice you make is a personal one. Choose the option that works best for you and make it special whether it is 2 people or 200 people.
Happy Planning
