Elopements vs Micro Weddings: What's the difference?

You might here the terms 'elopement' and 'micro wedding' being bandied around as all the rage. Especially if you are newly engaged and still trying to figure out your own wedding planning. You might think they're peas in a pod, but trust me, they've got their own vibes.


Let's break down the three key differences, shall we?


  1. Intimacy Level: Party Size Matters Elopements are all about that "just us" vibe—think you, your partner, and maybe a witness or two. It's the ultimate intimacy, focused solely on your love story without the crowd. On the flip side, micro weddings keep it cozy but amp up the guest list a smidge. Picture your closest friends and family—still intimate but with a bit more company to share the love.

  2. Location, Location, Location Eloping is your ticket to anywhere! You're not tied down to a traditional venue. Think epic vistas, secret hideaways, or your favourite spot that screams "us." It's all about choosing a place that resonates with your souls. Micro weddings, on the other hand, might snag a spot that's a bit more "venue-y," but still oozes that intimate charm.

  3. Vibes & Vows Elopements are the epitome of free-spirited romance. With just the two of you (or a tiny squad), it's all about the raw, emotional exchange of vows. No distractions, just pure love. Micro weddings keep the romance but add a pinch of party spirit. You'll exchange vows, celebrate, and dance the night away—just on a smaller scale.

So, which one's for you? It all boils down to what speaks to your hearts. Elopements are for the adventurous souls craving intimacy and freedom, while micro weddings are like a mini bash with your nearest and dearest, keeping it personal without the fuss of a massive affair.

Whether you're dreaming of an adventurous elopement atop a mountain or a cozy micro wedding in a charming venue, the magic lies in making it uniquely yours. Both options offer that personal touch, allowing you to celebrate your love story in a way that feels authentically you.

So, lovebirds, elope to that dreamy locale or keep it cozy with your inner circle—either way, it's your love story, your adventure. I'm totally up for both so cheers to love in all its forms, big or small! 🌟💕✨
