Why Small & Intimate Wedding are so Popular.

Small and intimate weddings are the vibe because they’re all about the why—the heart and soul of why you’re gathering your favorite people in the first place. It’s not about throwing a party for 200 people you barely know (or that random cousin’s plus-one). It’s about celebrating your love with the ones who actually get you and who’ll cry the hardest when you say, “I do.”

Let’s be real—planning a huge wedding can feel like hosting a corporate event with a side of confetti. If that’s not your jam, it’s okay to hit pause and rethink. A small wedding means more time to connect, laugh, and actually enjoy the day without constantly checking the clock (or your wallet). You can skip the stress of trying to please everyone and focus on creating moments that actually matter.

So here’s the tea: an intimate wedding isn’t about cutting corners; it’s about cutting the fluff. Fewer people, bigger meaning. Your wedding should feel like you, not a performance. And trust me, when it’s small and intentional, it’s the kind of day your guests will never stop talking about. 💕
