I wrote about the benefits of having a mixed-gender wedding party, but would you consider going without a wedding party altogether for your wedding? This is something I wish I would have forgone with my own wedding. Initially, the idea of not having a wedding party can feel so uncomfortable! Isn't a beautiful and large wedding party part of the ideal wedding experience?!

Can you believe this is your first Christmas season married?! Isn’t it wild how this year is almost over in the blink of an eye? 2022 was such an interesting year. Things are seemingly almost normal but completely different at the same time. December is my personal favorite part of the year. It is a blissful time filled with holiday magic and deep reflection on how life has changed in the past 12 months. I want to give you a chance to reflect with me…

I honestly cannot believe that 2022 is already coming to a fast and furious close. It’s been an exciting year for the wedding industry because normal life has been somewhat recreated since Covid-19. The past two years have significantly impacted wedding trends because couples realize the importance of quality time spent with loved ones. With that being said, I want to look into some of my personal favorite wedding trends of the 2022 wedding season.

The main difference between a micro wedding and an elopement is that a wedding focuses on the guest experience vs. an elopement focuses more on the couple itself. Although micro weddings concentrate more on the couple than a traditional wedding, it is still a planned party for a group of people. With that being said, there are no rules to elopement. You can plan a party as big, small, intimate, or inviting as you want. It is entirely up to what type of experience you want. Taking elements from both types of weddings is okay to create a party that fits your unique vision. In this space, we invite you to break all the rules that don’t apply to you.

The definition of a micro wedding is a wedding celebration of fifty people or less. Great! This sounds awesome. Now, what does this type of planning does this wedding entail? What considerations and aspects need to be thought about and discussed?
