Tips for Planning Your Tiny Wedding
Uncategorized
Here are a few tips:
- Remember the WHY. You are marrying your best friend. You are starting a new chapter in your life. You’ve come this far, and you’re going to adventure for the rest of your lives together. You’ve made it through all these years, you are currently making it through a global pandemic, and you are going to be there for eachother. Staying grounded in the WHY you are getting married is vital during this crazy time. All the other details are fun and important, but not as important as you committing to the love of your life.
- A smaller guest count doesn’t mean you need to compromise on the “wow” factor. Think stunning ceremony florals, gorgeous tablescapes, stunning lighting details, and other design elements that will make you and your guests say “wow” (hanging flowers, anyone?).
- Tiny Weddings can have ALL the personalized details. With a smaller guest count, you can spend more time (and budget) on the little details – from hand painted menus and place cards, to personalized letters to each guest, upgraded rental choices to beautiful designer print details…your tiny wedding can be an incredibly personalized experience!
- If you are having a tiny wedding, invest in a good photographer and videographer. This is important at any wedding, but it’s more important now than ever. If a large number of your friends and extended family will not be joining you on your wedding day, then you’ll want to be able to share the experience with them through photos and video. A livestream of the ceremony is also not a bad idea!
- Incorporate non-traditional elements. While a traditional wedding would have a ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, maybe your tiny wedding can include some other fun things! We have clients doing a sunset sailing trip after dinner with their guests, a wine tasting experience following the ceremony, or creating a “weekend retreat” with their closest family members and friends. You can think outside-the-box to provide an experience you and your guests will never forget. With less guests to host, your timeline of the day can be much more relaxed.

EVENT PLANNING & FLORAL DESIGN
Me and my team intentionally create bespoke celebrations for life milestones that inspire resounding joy, awe-inspiring beauty, and a deep sense of belonging and connection
I firmly believe in the beauty of carefully executed restraint, allowing the natural beauty of the venue, flowers, design details, and clients speak for themselves.
I believe love is love - all are welcome here.
