\u00a0So, you said “YES” and are ready to start planning for the wedding of your dreams. But there\u2019s much to \u2018DO\u2019 before the \u201cI DO\u201d happens. It\u2019s fun to dream about the big day but when it comes to making the magic come to life, it takes a lot of time and planning. Are you feeling overwhelmed already? Maybe paring back can help you achieve some of those \u201cmust haves\u201d. Consider this, fewer guests means you can reallocate money to other items. Micro wedding venues can allow you to afford quality items. Your money will go further and it will be easier to get the magical wedding you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n

Location, location, location! Planning a micro wedding (50 people or less) allows for more options. Micro wedding venues are smaller spaces which means you can choose unusual places to exchange your vows. The problem that most people run into when choosing a venue is that often it\u2019s booked years in advance. But if you are planning a micro wedding there\u2019s often a side room, garden or outdoor space available. Still, you should book your venue as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Choosing Micro Wedding Venues<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some people have in mind the exact place they want to get married and so they are limited to the dates available at that place. Some have a date in mind and so have to find a venue with that date open. Some have a theme in mind and so want a venue that speaks to that theme. All of these things will limit your options.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not sure of your theme then you\u2019ll have to do some research before choosing your venue. Start with a vision board. Collect images that appeal to you. Pinterest is great for this. Then, when looking at the collection, look for items that are similar and make note of them. It may be a dominant colour or the repetition of a certain flower, or that all the images are outside, or rustic. And maybe you are lucky enough to find that one image that encompasses exactly the look you are wanting to achieve. This is an important step in determining your wedding location even though it doesn\u2019t seem to be. But it is. It will help you decide if a beach is the perfect location, or a barn, or a forest. And once you\u2019ve done that you can start looking for your venue.<\/p>\n

Here are a Couple of Great Micro Wedding Venue Ideas and their Themes.<\/h3>\n

Rustic Forest
<\/strong>Imagine walking barefoot through soft, green grass to the edge of a waterfall, carrying a brightly coloured bunch of wildflowers. The wreath of flowers in your hair holds back your loose tresses as you walk under white paper doves hung overhead. During the ceremony a small bird sings a song and during your vows a butterfly floats by. After the ceremony you all go back to your cabins to change into more casual clothes and then reconvene at the lake to eat a gourmet dinner on wooden tables while stings of fairy lights hang above in the trees. Later you gather around a camp fire or play games on the lawn.<\/p>\n

Mad Hatter Wedding in a Garden<\/strong>
Tea parties don\u2019t have to be stuffy and boring, they can be outrageous and lots of fun. Imagine you\u2019re wearing a dress with a full skirt covered in layers of tulle. Does it seem normal? Expected? It\u2019s not and you know it for under all that tulle is a brightly coloured, striped petticoat. Hinting at your rebellious nature, as you begin to walk down the aisle, people can see the hint of stripes at the hem of your dress and the bright pink tips of your shoes! The bridle music starts to play and all heads turn to look at you which makes you smile for your guests have gladly taken to heart your theme and have worn the most outlandish hats! After the vows, you settle in to a lavish tea party. Sitting at mis-matched tables and chairs your guests enjoy the most decadent cakes while above them are flying books, tea pots, bird cages and empty picture frames. After a game of croquet, the perfect wind up to the perfect day is a food truck, glow-in-the-dark cocktails and dancing under the stars.<\/p>\n

When Choosing a Micro Wedding Venue You Must go see it if you can.<\/h4>\n

Looking at a venue online is helpful but you must go to the actual site and see if it matches your expectations. Why not plan a little weekend getaway with your honey and stay there for a couple of days? You can explore the area and this will help to convince you you\u2019ve made the right choice. Pro tip: go in the same season you are planning to get married. This enables you to see if it\u2019s winding, cold, hot or if there are loud noises or bugs. All of these things could impact your big day so always go see the venue.<\/p>\n

The Best Micro Wedding Venues are Often the Simplest.<\/h4>\n

One of my favourite weddings was the modern cabins in the woods wedding. I loved the smell of pine trees, the sound of cawing crows and the rustle of a cool summer breeze. Watching my friends get married amongst these smells and sounds created a memory that\u2019s easily triggered causing my mind to wander back to that beautiful day when the most important thing for the couple was being surrounded by the people they loved. Pine trees always take my mind back to those gorgeous cabins and that perfect, simple wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

When searching for micro wedding ceremony venues, because you have fewer guests, you can have the ceremony at the same place as the reception. Having everything in one location makes things so much simpler. From set up to tear down and the transportation of decorations, food and people. If you can also stay there the weekend of the wedding, that\u2019s even better. So when considering a micro wedding venue, consider choosing one place for both the ceremony and the reception, one that meets all your needs.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it, with fewer people in attendance, you can get married almost anywhere so let your imagination run wild.<\/p>\n
