MICRO WEDDINGS VS ELOPEMENTS – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

MICRO WEDDINGS

What is a Micro Wedding?

Like its name suggests, a micro-wedding is a smaller version of a 'regular' wedding, typically with a guest list of no more than 50 people—usually immediate family and super-close friends only.

Though tiny in guest count, a micro-wedding is still big on style and usually involves a full team of vendors providing decor, flower arrangements, catering, music and photography. You can think of a micro-wedding as something in-between a big, traditional wedding and an elopement (more on this in a minute). Micro-weddings are for couples who don't necessarily want a big event with hundreds of guests, but they don't want to compromise on experience or smaller details, either.

And while a micro-wedding can help you save money in some ways, it's not about cutting corners. Instead, many couples use the lower guest count to maximize their budget and splurge on things like a top-shelf open bar, a unique venue or amazing entertainment. With a guest list of just a few dozen people, a tropical destination weekend wedding, a designer wedding dress or a decadent brunch at a five-star restaurant becomes much more feasible.

Micro Weddings are a great 'in between' option for those wanting their wedding to feel smaller and more intimate, while also adhering to a more traditional, classic way of getting married.

ELOPEMENTS

What Is An Elopement?

Elopements are quickly gaining popularity, especially since 2020 shut down the traditional wedding industry. This led to couples finding innovative and safe ways to get married with a small group of people (or even just themselves). While elopements once were viewed as a secretive, somewhat shameful way of getting married, this is no longer the case today.

Elopements today have taken on a whole new meaning. Many now view them as a more special, intimate way of getting married, when a large traditional wedding doesn't suit them. So what are elopements, exactly?

An elopement is your wedding day experience that truly revolves around the both of you. People often say that your wedding day should be all about you, but as most brides & grooms come to realize, it can quickly evolve into something else. Elopements are intimate, intentional, extremely personal, and therefore powerful. Because they focus on simply getting married versus having a large wedding event, they are shorter, simpler, far less expensive, and have few (if any) guests. Elopements prioritize your experience over anything else. They encourage you to dream big and ask yourselves, how exactly do YOU want to experience your day? What do you want to see? Or smell, or taste, or touch, or feel? Elopements open up a world of opportunities and possibilities for you to design your day in a way that’s completely unique to you.

* ELOPEMENTS ARE TYPICALLY UNDER 10 PEOPLE, AND OFTEN AS FEW AS JUST TWO!
