Dear bride or groom, you must be so excited about your upcoming wedding. Here are top 7 tips on how to make your dream wedding come true.
1. Start with a Vision
Paint the picture for your dream intimate wedding.
Ask yourselves: What do we want the day to feel like? Relaxed, elegant, whimsical?
Discuss priorities: Is it a cozy venue, an amazing meal, or a meaningful guest list?
Emphasize that starting with a clear vision ensures every decision aligns with what truly matters to the couple.
2. Build a Meaningful Guest List
Explain that an intimate wedding typically includes 20-50 guests or that your wedding venue can only have 100 guests.
Narrow down the list (e.g., immediate family, closest friends, and key supporters).
It’s okay to set boundaries. This is your day!
3. Choose the Right Venue
Smaller weddings open up creative venue options!
Imagine unique castle venue for your big day
Look for venues with built-in charm to save on décor!
4. Personalize Every Detail
Make the day truly your own.
Write personalized vows or speeches.
Incorporate family traditions or special hobbies.
Create DIY touches, like handwritten place cards or custom wedding favors.
Think small but meaningful.
5. Invest in Experiences, Not Excess
With fewer guests, couples can focus on quality over quantity.
Gourmet dining, live music, photobooth, lavish florals, champagne wall are now within reach.
Intimate settings means you have more time with each of your guest & less stress. This is your chance to truly savor the moment.
6. Capture the Memories
Small weddings can still have big memories.
Investing in a photographer, especially videographer who specializes in intimate gatherings.
Create a keepsake guest book with heartfelt notes or even recording video or audio messages.
7. Keep It Stress-Free
Small doesn’t mean simple, but it does mean easier to manage.
Staying organized: a clear timeline, a smaller to-do list.
Delegate and focus on enjoying your day.
A Celebration of Love
An intimate wedding isn’t about compromise—it’s about intentionality. With the right planning, these smaller celebrations can be just as memorable and beautiful as a big event, if not more so.
