Has the way people get married changed for good?
During the pandemic, couples all over the world asked the question: should we get married this year? For a year, restrictions and guidelines completely changed how we celebrated nuptuals. Traditional wedding plans were scraped for new and innovative approaches to festivities. From city hall weddings to planned elopements, we have a feeling that the ‘micro weddings’ trend might just be here to stay.
Because what came to light during the long months of lockdown and then the reopening of life-as-usual is that weddings don’t always have to be a huge affair. After all, the average wedding costs around £16k-£30k. And considering how beautiful so many small weddings have been, it begs questioning whether a large wedding is worth it in the first place.
Most people understand the concept of a small wedding, where you invite only you and your partner’s closest friends and family, but the concept of a micro wedding is something new. Micro weddings aren’t only romantic and intimate. They have multi-fold benefits, such as savings on cost and smaller amounts of planning.
