The difference between a micro wedding, a tiny wedding and a small wedding

To be absolutely honest there is no real difference between a micro wedding a tiny wedding and a small wedding. These are just trendy terms used to describe marriage celebrations with a relatively (excuse the pun) smaller than average guest list.

There is no definitive number to differentiate between “minimonies” and larger ceremonies  so just use whatever term feels right for you.

The smallest possible wedding is an elopement which can be as small as the two people saying their vows before a ceremony officiant – three people in total.

Budgeting for a successful small wedding

A smaller wedding does not necessarily means a smaller budget, in fact this is where one of the huge positives comes in.

You can now afford quality over quantity!

One of the major benefits of a downsized wedding guest list means that you can now afford luxury items. You really can splash out on your dream wedding day.

Micro weddings mean more for your money

Your new micro wedding mindset should be,  “Why drink cava when you can drink champagne?!”

• Book the best accommodation
• Upgrade your set menu to a la carte
• Choose the vintage wine over the house plonk
• Opt for a full photography package to capture every moment of your special day
• Go for a videographer who will also live stream your ceremony to a wider guest list
• Make sure your celebrant crafts a totally bespoke ceremony written around your personal love story
