11 Exquisite Reasons to Plan a Micro-Wedding

If there was one undeniably positive thing to come from 2020, surely it was the renaissance of micro-weddings. From at-home weddings reminiscent of Father of the Bride to destination affairs endowed with natural beauty; from museum weddings that feel artistic and cerebral to private villa events that explore the grandeur of architecture and landscape, micro-weddings demonstrate the expressive and emotional potential of weddings. The creative possibilities are quite nearly limitless for the bride whose design process is unconstrained by guest considerations. She can wear something couture and unexpected; she can deliver a poetry recitation or read personalized vows; she and her fiancé can steal away somewhere unimaginably beautiful and remote. Tables can become architectural, a study in lines and curves; flower can take on a sculptural and abstract quality, reading more ‘art installation’ than traditional wedding. The styling of the entire event tends to take on a more couture quality. More importantly, freed from the demands of planning a complex event, couples can spend more time praying for and nurturing their union, cultivating spiritual graces which cannot help but suffuse a wedding day with loveliness. A micro-wedding can feel as intimate as prayer, as hushed and sacred an event as any life offers.
