You’ve fallen in love with the idea of a micro wedding: intimate, meaningful, and totally stress-free. But how exactly do you pull it all together without missing a thing?
Here’s your ultimate step-by-step guide to planning a perfect micro wedding that’s all about you.
Step 1: Set Your Vision
Before anything else, sit down with your partner and dream.
Big garden party?
Rooftop city celebration?
Cozy beachside ceremony?
Step 2: Create a Realistic Budget
With fewer guests, you have more flexibility, but a budget is still key. Decide how much you want to spend on:
Venue
Food and drinks
Photography
Outfits
Special extras (hello, custom vows!)

Step 3: Curate Your Guest List
One of the hardest parts of a micro wedding is trimming the guest list. Focus on your VIPs, the people who have truly been part of your journey.
Step 4: Find the Perfect Venue
Small weddings open the door to unique, stunning spaces:
gardens, boutique hotels, vineyards, museums, even private homes.
