Couples from all around the world are jumping on the latest trend: Micro-Weddings, or as some may call them, new-age elopements. With everyone experiencing the effects of the global shutdowns, lovebirds are finding new ways to make their weddings happen<\/a> without having to postpone their “I Dos” \u2013 and we are here<\/em> for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wedding Collective team<\/a> has always admired the fierce determination of our local wedding vendors<\/a>, but it wasn’t until we were all forced to come together as a community working toward a greater cause that their true strength was unveiled. Truly, wedding vendors<\/a> and couples alike know how to put their best foot forward when it comes to love! This determination and talent have been especially apparent in the micro-weddings that have been happening all around the state despite the roadblocks. As the saying goes, the show must go on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, What are “micro-weddings” Exactly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Micro-weddings, or elopements, are smaller weddings with a much lower guest count, often just a few family members and a few friends. When it comes to everything else, micro-weddings look a lot like regular weddings \u2013 there’s still a ceremony<\/a>, cake<\/a>, food<\/a>, dancing<\/a>, etc. To put it simply, it’s a small gathering rather than a large one. By having a micro-wedding, you can focus your attention on the little things without the overwhelm of guests to take care of. If you’re into a more intimate wedding<\/a> (that is also great for social distancing), this is the direction you should be heading in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
