Why Small Weddings are the New Big Thing
Oh, the magic of small weddings!
In the midst of a global pandemic, couples embraced the simplicity of intimate celebrations with their nearest and dearest. And who can blame them? With lockdown restrictions limiting wedding guest numbers to a tiny 6 people and then up to 20, it sparked a micro wedding trend that has taken Ireland by storm.
These small weddings have become more than just a necessity; they've become an opportunity for couples to create truly memorable moments with their loved ones. The benefits are countless - from more quality time spent with each guest to the ability to focus on personal touches and details that truly matter.
Gone are the days of extravagant affairs with 300+ guests, a day overshadowed by stress and logistics. Instead, couples are opting for smaller, more meaningful gatherings where every moment is cherished. It's all about creating an atmosphere that exudes warmth, love, and authenticity. It helps thing things real you know!
It's heartwarming to see how couples have adapted and embraced the micro wedding trend. Whether it's an intimate garden ceremony or a cozy reception at a local inn, these celebrations prove that big love can be celebrated in small ways.
So let's raise our glasses to the beauty of small weddings - where love shines brightest and memories are made forever. Cheers to this delightful wedding trend that has captured hearts across Ireland!
