What is a Micro Wedding?
Hey y’all! Did you know that micro weddings have actually been a thing for centuries? They used to be called “intimate weddings,” but they’ve totally taken off in the U.S. since the pandemic—and honestly, it’s no surprise why! If you’ve ever been to a traditional wedding, you know they’re a labor of love, planned down to every last detail (like the exact color of napkins for the reception hour—yep, really).
But here’s the deal: more and more couples are ditching the traditional route and going all-in on micro weddings. And let me tell you, it’s such a vibe! Whether it’s about keeping things low-key, focusing on what matters most, or just wanting to do something different, micro weddings are having their moment, and I am so freakin’ here for it!
So, in simple terms, a micro wedding is simply a more intimate wedding experience without sacrificing traditional wedding customs and traditions while being surrounded by your closest friends and family.
How Big is a Micro Wedding?
You can expect a micro wedding to have around 20-50 guests—and honestly, that’s the magic of it! This style has blown up lately, and it’s easy to see why. Couples are moving away from inviting literally everyone they’ve ever met and instead focusing on the people who truly have their backs—the ones who show up for them on the regular, not just on their wedding day. It’s all about celebrating with your ride-or-dies, and I am so here for that energy!
15 Reasons Why You Should Plan a Micro Wedding
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s all about the vibes, a micro wedding might just be your perfect match. Whether it’s the intimate setting, the relaxed energy, or the chance to celebrate with your absolute favorite people, there are SO many reasons to love this style of celebration. Let’s dive into 15 reasons why micro weddings are where it’s at!
1. Quality Over Quantity
Fewer guests mean more time to soak up every moment with your people. No quick hellos and frantically running around each table to “get a photo with everyone”—you’ll actually get to connect with everyone!
2. Budget-Friendly Option
With a smaller guest list, you can splurge on what matters most—hello, epic food, dreamy florals, or a killer photographer (hint, hint 😉).
3. Totally Customizable
Forget cookie-cutter traditions! Micro weddings let you craft a day that’s 100% you. Backyard BBQ? Fancy rooftop soirée that feels like you’re living in Bridgerton?
4. Chill Vibes Only
Smaller guest lists = less stress. No seating chart drama or overwhelming logistics—just a fun, laid-back day.
5. Dream Venue Options
That cute café, cozy cabin, or scenic mountain top you’ve been eyeing? Micro weddings open up a world of unique, intimate venue possibilities!
6. Epic Food & Drink
With fewer mouths to feed, you can treat your guests to a next-level menu. Think signature cocktails, gourmet bites, late night pizza, or even a fun food truck!
7. More Room for Creativity
Smaller weddings mean you can get creative with your decor and personal touches. Think bold flower arrangements or fun DIY favors.
8. Eco-Friendly Bonus
Less waste, fewer resources, and a lighter footprint—it’s a win-win for the planet and your heart!
9. Focus on What Matters
Strip away the fluff and focus on what’s most important: the two of you, your love story, and the people who mean the most.
10. Documentary Style Photo Opportunities
Intimate weddings naturally lend themselves to those raw, authentic moments you’ll want to remember forever—and I’ll be there to capture every single one!
11. Destination Dreams
Always wanted to say “I do” on a beach in Tulum or a mountain in Colorado? Micro weddings make destination weddings WAYYY more doable.
12. More Time to Celebrate
Instead of rushing through a packed schedule, you can savor every second—long dinners, extra dances, and maybe even a post-wedding bonfire. Check out this blog for how to successfully plan a wedding timeline that feels good for you!
13. Less Stress, More Love
Without the pressure of a massive guest list, you can relax and actually enjoy your day instead of worrying about every little detail.
14. Guest Experience Goals
With a smaller group, you can spoil your guests with thoughtful touches, like handwritten notes, personalized favors, or a curated playlist.
15. It’s All About YOU
At the end of the day, micro weddings are all about celebrating YOUR love story in a way that feels authentic and true to who you are.
