Slow guest list, big memories — micro weddings are reshaping how couples celebrate their big day.
NO-SO-MICRO BUDGETING:
Prioritize: Decide what matters most — venue, food, decor, or outfits — and allocate funds accordingly.
Guest count: Fewer guests mean reduced costs for catering and seating arrangements.
Venue options: Non-traditional venues like home gardens or rentals can cut costs.
DIY touches: Save on decor by crafting centerpieces or using existing family heirlooms.
DESTINATION MICRO WEDDINGS:
For couples who want to have a grand yet intimate day for themselves, destination micro wedding is the answer. “Places like Goa, Udaipur, and Kerala are the most preferred micro-wedding in India while international spots like Bali or Greece are also popular.”
HOW DID THE MICRO WEDDING TREND CAME ABOUT?:
Micro weddings gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic when large gatherings were restricted. Couples soon found creative ways to celebrate their big day, while prioritizing health and safety. But what started as a necessity has now become a preferred trend for many, with couples embracing the simplicity and personalization that micro weddings offer.
WHAT IS A MICRO WEDDING?
A micro wedding is an intimate celebration with a limited guest list, usually ranging from 20 to 50 people. “Unlike traditional lavish ceremonies with hundreds and thousands of people, these smaller-scale events focus on quality time with loved ones and meaningful details. They’re cozy, personal, and perfect for couples who value connection over grandeur.”
MICRO WEDDING CHECKLIST:
Guestlist: Keep it small and selective. Invite only your closest family and friends.
Venue: Choose a location that suits your guest count, like a cozy garden, boutique hotel, or even your own backyard or apartment.
Details matter: Invest in personalized touches, such as custom invitations, handwritten notes, or unique decor.
Vendors: Since your event is smaller, you can allocate your budget to high-quality vendors who will elevate your wedding experience.
