Planning your Norfolk Micro Wedding
Small, intimate weddings are incredibly romantic and generally much easier to organise and manage. More focus is placed on the day itself and not on the mountain of work that precedes it, resulting in a relaxed and happy wedding party. With fewer people in attendance, you’ll have more opportunity to soak up the magic and make lifelong memories with your nearest and dearest.
If you can’t wait to tie the knot, then a 15-guest micro wedding can be just as special as a 150-guest shindig. Whether you plan it yourself or engage the services of a wedding planner, your big day will be no less memorable for having fewer guests.
Remember, an intimate affair can be spectacular too! Let your imagination run wild and plan a party that WOWs.
3 tips to make your micro wedding an affair to remember
You can still have the wedding of your dreams
The flexibility of a micro wedding shouldn’t be underestimated. Hosting fewer guests will drastically cut your overall spend, giving you a bigger budget to splurge on otherwise unplanned luxuries like a designer dress or stunning, themed decor with gourmet food.
Make it personal and get crafty
Not having a huge guest list can make it much easier for you to get stuck into the fun, creative side of weddings. Here are a couple of suggestions to get you started:
Create stunning invitations and place settings in a couple of days! This is where you get to indulge your creative side without the pressures of time and budget. You’ll know each and every guest inside out, so why not use this inside information to make gorgeous, personalised wedding favours?
Rope in your other half or a gifted pal to help you design your venue decor and floral arrangements. Why not incorporate photos of family and friends who can’t make your big day?
Keep it local
Downsizing your wedding might just open doors for smaller, more local Norfolk venues and providers who can only cater for limited groups. Giving your local economy a boost when it really needs it can only add to the feel-good factor! This is where a wedding planner can be a real asset, as they’ll know the very best places to consider.
Or, after your big/small day you might want to throw a party for a wider group of family and friends, and where better than in your favourite country pub or local hotel?
