When it comes to planning a wedding, there are many ways that you can go about the process. One of the first things you will want to figure out is how big of a wedding do you want to have? This sets the tone for the rest of the wedding planning process when deciding on the budget, venue, date, catering, etc. Two specific trends that we’ve noticed, especially in today’s world are: micro-wedding and elopement. These trends have their differences, and it can often be confusing how to differentiate the two. We are here to clear the confusion and help you understand because these options could be appealing to you. Would you rather…

Marry your fiancé in front of 20-50 of your nearest & dearest hanging out on the side of a beautiful mountain celebrating love!?

or….

Hop on a plane to a secret, remote island and marry your best friend while the waves crash behind you with only the crabs & the sea turtles to witness your love?!

What is the difference?

A micro-wedding is a bite size version of a traditional wedding. Most definitions say 50 or less loved ones with all the special aspects and time honored traditions that make a wedding, but just smaller. By having a micro-wedding, you still get to enjoy the day with loved ones around you, just on a much smaller scale.

Elopement is, according to Martha, a wedding where just the couple is present that is done in secrecy! Sometimes it is planned and other times, it is just a romance spur of the moment decision. This keeps your special day between you and your partner as you celebrate spending the rest of your lives together.
