The days of having to invite your cousin twice removed and your grandmother’s brother’s children, whom you have never even met, to your wedding are over. These days, where the economy is tight for everyone except the royals and celebs, every penny counts and it really has become more common to have smaller, intimate weddings. That way, you can spend the day (and your hard-earned money) with the people that are closest to you and are part of your everyday life.

Thus, we present to you: The microwedding. This means usually no more than 30-40 guests in total. The best part is, if you do have a more flexible budget, you can throw an extravagant affair and cater to everyone’s needs. You also get to spend more time with each person, so you have great memories with everyone who shares in your special day.

This also means you can have a destination wedding with ease, as the practical arrangements are way simpler and the planning overall is way easier.

Just today, we received an enquiry from a “low-key” couple who wants an elopement that matches their personality. If you’re like them who do not like anything grand, crowded, noisy, or stressful, you can have a ceremony like this on the cliffs of Northern Ireland. ✈ 🤵 👰 ⠀⠀ .⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀ Behind the lens @iainthephotog⠀ Planned by us @peachperfectwed⠀⠀ Musician @acoustic_melodies_ni⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #CliffWedding #NorthernIrelandElopement #JustElope #DestinationWeddings #bridalmusings #castleruinwedding #castlesofinstagram #dreamcastlewedding #dreamweddings #letselope #microweddings #uniqueweddings #tinyweddings #intimateweddings #uniqueweddings #uniqueweddingvenue #uniqueweddingvenueideas #uniqueweddingideas #northernirelandwedding #Irishwedding #instawedding #elopement #elopetonorthernireland #elopingtonorthernireland #elope #elopement #smallwedding #weddingpackage #elopementplanner #weddingplannernorthernireland
