Candlelit Micro Wedding

John and Laura decided early on in their pandemic- planning process that they were going to cut their losses and host a micro wedding for 16 of their closest family members. This is one of our favorite examples of how you don’t need much to make a wedding absolutely stunning. In fact, all of the décor for this small wedding fit in the back of an SUV (with 4 passengers in the front).

This copper arch, minimally decorated with loose greenery was the perfect minimal backdrop for the small ceremony. In a small room, there wasn’t much space for a large ceremony backdrop so the small footprint but big impact of this arch was just what was needed.

The dinner table was certainly the showstopper of this wedding. Without a dance, the 5 course dinner filled the evening for this small event. Chargers, statement napkins goblets, greenery, and a whole lot of candlelight are all you need to gussy up a table and bring it just over the top.

A stunning ceremony & warm intimate tablescape were all this micro wedding needed to tie everything together. A little decor goes a long way with a micro wedding, especially when less guests means more margin for making decor choices that you’re excited about.
