What You Need to Know about Having a Micro-Wedding

Posted by Editor on Jan 3rd, 2019 in We Love Weddings | 0 comments

There are two things about weddings that are universal no matter where you are in the world: they are expensive, and everyone wants to take a break from the stresses of day to day life.

While a micro wedding sounds like a nice alternative that does away with the two problems posed by a traditional wedding, you might be surprised by how similar the two can actually be.

Here are a few things you need to know to give you a heads-up on what a micro-wedding really means:

1. You need to know beforehand if it’s really for you.
Planning a traditional wedding and planning a micro wedding each have their own advantages and purpose. If you enjoy planning a traditional wedding, being the life of a large party, or going all out on the decorations for a large venue, then by all means go for it.

A micro wedding would be more your speed if you and your partner happen to be a little introverted or find that you prefer to not have to spend too much energy and instead opt for something that’s more simple and intimate, and doesn’t take too much time.

2. It takes just as much willpower (maybe even more) as planning a wedding with a sizeable budget.
While planning a micro-wedding certainly eases up on the stress of planning a wedding in general since everything has been scaled back, you still need to plan every detail to make sure it goes as smoothly as it can, be it from the venue, to the decor, to the accommodations (if any guests happen to be out of town).

But with that said, don’t be afraid to let your imagination run wild! There are a lot of settings inaccessible to large weddings that are open to smaller celebrations, and for a sizable fraction less than the price of the former.

3. The wedding is all about the intimacy – and the people who really matter.
Your wedding doesn’t have to be for everyone else – it’s your wedding, after all – but for the people who you personally know and you consider close to you.

What micro weddings offer over traditional weddings that invite from fifty to a hundred is the more relaxed atmosphere that comes from having less than twenty people over and the chance to actually interact with all of them.

4. If nothing else, think about the honeymoon.
If you want to save money for the honeymoon vacation you’ve always wanted, a micro wedding can help you a lot.
However, the biggest thing that you can save is time. While traditional weddings can exhaust both you and your partner, a micro wedding will even allow you a few moments alone together to cherish your first day together as a married couple.

Destinations For Your Dream Wedding

It is not every day that you get married. If you have the money, it is not wrong to celebrate it extravagantly. There are many wedding destinations here in Singapore and the whole of Asia but if you are looking for something extraordinary, it is time to look beyond the borders.

If you want your dream wedding as enchanting as you hope it would be, there are romantic destinations from around the world to enthral you and your visitors. Here is the list:

• Bora Bora: Bora Bora is a famous destination for a dreamy wedding. It is in French Polynesia. It is different because Bora Bora is built around the remainder of extinct volcano. It is often hailed as “exotic lover’s paradise”. While doing the wedding, guests will be amazed seeing turquoise lagoon and pristine beaches with gardens of coral. If you want a laid-back place to sleep, their bungalows will welcome you.

 

• Buyukada: Turkey has an undeniable charm. Buyukada is a ferry-ride away from its capital, Istanbul. What makes this town a perfect place to exchange your vow? Well, for a start the town is old-fashioned with the abundance of carriages drawn by horses and appealing streets.

 

• Havana: Havana is the capital of Cuba. It boasts of colonial architecture and art deco. What more can you ask for a retro themed wedding? If you want a wedding facing the Caribbean shores, you can head to Playa Jibaco coast.

• Watsons Bay: Australia is near Singapore and that is good for wedding preparations particularly in Watsons Bay in Sydney. The couple plus their visitors cannot resist a seaside wedding in Sydney’s waterfronts. The overlooking ocean view of the Tasman sea adds romance to the intimate gathering.

 

• Kyoto: Another amazing wedding destination is in Kyoto. If you can see a function hall filled with manicured landscapes, pursue it. The landscapes are uniquely Japanese because of the sacred shrines that go with it. If you decide to have your wedding during the spring of cherry blossoms dressed in kimono, guests will be awed.

 

• Bruges: If you want a fairytale-like wedding, Bruges is definitely the place to be. Bruges is in Belgium and the architecture is of Baroque. The bendy canals and cobblestone streets add to the charm of the city. Couples can also decide to ride along the romantic boat as you find your way to the chapel – now that is what romantic looks like.

 

• Taprobane Island: If you want a small yet intimate wedding, Taprobane Island in Sri Lanka is the best place to be. There is no such thing as Utopia but the place is certainly what Utopia looks like.
