Top trends for intimate weddings in 2024
Forget the big bashes with hundreds of your not-so-close family members and friends in a reception centre! In 2024, couples are saying "I do" to a more intimate kind of celebration. Smaller weddings are the hottest trend (and for good reason!). With a focus on quality time with a smaller group of loved ones and creative ways to get hitched, micro weddings are in vogue!
Why go small?
The reasons for choosing a smaller wedding are as diverse as the couples themselves. For some, it's a budget-conscious decision, allowing them to splurge on vendors like their DJ or photographer. Others crave a more of party with less of the lull or “filler” times that a larger wedding has. Whatever the motivation, smaller and more micro weddings are growing more popular each and every month.
So, what’s hot in the world of smaller weddings?
Dinner party vibes!
Think less formal reception, more dinner party. Inner city restaurant style or even private homes are popular choices with private catering, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
Backyard bangers
Why not throw a banger wedding in the backyard? Throwing a backyard wedding will give you TOTAL creative control over your celebration, from decor to food and fairy lights, if that’s your thing.
Don’t have a backyard? Steal mum and dad’s for the evening (just promise that you’ll have someone clean up!). Oh, and don’t forget to let the neighbours know that you may be making a bit of noise when that DJ gets going!
Elope with your tribe
Eloping doesn't have to mean saying "I do" without their crew! Couples are adding a small guest list into their elopement, creating a more intimate and unforgettable experience. And guess what, when you’re out bush, you probably won’t have to worry about keeping the neighbours awake!
Have it all, but keep it small!
Want to keep all the moments of your wedding but focus on the party side of things? Consider a micro wedding! It means you’ll enjoy more relaxed timeline without the stuffy formalities meaning your wedding will feel more like a huge celebration with all your best people.
As an added bonus, you’lll have the option to party on in very relaxed style at a bar or pub afterwards. Keep that party going!
