Keep reading to find out everything about the subject, take a look at this post where we tell you all about them.
What is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding is a kind of cross between a minimony wedding, a destination wedding and an elopement wedding. It has the same characteristics and items as a normal wedding - a band or DJ, a space, gastronomy and even a dance floor - but with a much, much smaller guest list. Micro weddings, as the name implies, have a guest list of up to 40 people. Officially, the count is around 20 guests, with only immediate family members and close friends who are part of the couple's history.
A micro wedding, as it is a more intimate event, smaller in size, can be cheaper- or not, it depends on the dream of the bride and groom and the experience they want to offer to their loved ones, with less stress to organize, more relaxed and may be shorter in duration than a normal wedding day.
We note that the increase in micro weddings is also a reflection of the increase in urban weddings - see here why choose a wedding in the city -, where the spaces chosen by the bride and groom tend to be more intimate and informal, such as home weddings, ceremonies in restaurants or charming bistros, weddings in museums, art galleries or famous hotels, historic houses scattered around the city even on rooftops with breathtaking panoramic views.
What is an elopement wedding?
When we think of escape marriage, our brain creates a knot. The wedding that is the meeting of those we love, who witnessed the couple's life, the great circle of friends and family. Well, the escape marriage does not involve any of this. The elopement wedding is originally a getaway for two to seal the couple's union, without notifying friends or family. Nowadays this concept has been renewed. Today, escape weddings are held in wonderful locations and not originally intended for marriage ceremonies. On the beach wall, in the city garden, on the other side of the world on the bridge that connects two cities. The options are endless. We do not need to take into account the space available to allocate the hundred guests, just the area for the two, the photographer and one or two members of the organization at the moment.
Let's imagine that there is no need to create and deliver hundreds of invitations, door to door, not having to choose the menu, not having to distribute the guests by tables, not having to do countless cake tasting because, right next to the place where the wishes there is a pastry shop that makes the best cupcakes in town and how beautiful it will be toast with your favorite cupcakes. They can choose to have a religious or civil ceremony, to have a meal in a row or to skip this moment, they can improvise all the time or prepare a year in advance.
Anyone who has organized a wedding knows that in the midst of so many worries the idea of throwing everything away and simply making that day just a couple is really tempting. It is perfect for couples who dream of this moment alone. They want concentration, deepness, importance and a lot of intimacy.
What is a minimony wedding?
