Micro Wedding vs. Elopement?

Weddings of the World

October 16, 2023

There is no such thing as ‘just a wedding’ anymore. When Covid-19 struck and turned the world upside down… The wedding industry was left with no choice but to pivot and evolve. With restraints being placed on gatherings and the number of guests that could attend, elopements and micro weddings became the new “To Do” and it definitely looks like this trend is here to stay. I

While an elopement can also be a micro wedding, it’s not often that a micro wedding is an elopement. The biggest distinction between the two is the number of guests. An elopement typically includes the couple and up to 10 guests and a micro wedding includes the couple and up to 50 guests.

No matter what option you choose for your special occasion, there’s still lots of planning, organizing, and decorating to do and that can quickly become very overwhelming. Therefore, it’s beneficial to have someone skilled in elopements and intimate weddings.
