Why we love Intimate Winter Weddings
For couples seeking a relaxed, authentic wedding day focused on their love and family, an intimate ceremony is the perfect choice. When you limit your guest list, you create space for meaningful connections. Spend quality time with each guest and create beautiful memories with everyone in attendance. Surround yourself with guests who radiate positivity and heartfelt well-wishes for your marriage. Bid goodbye to distant relations and random plus-ones.
Why are smaller weddings so popular?
It's simple - with typically 50 guests or fewer, you can craft a cosy, personal atmosphere full of details and people you love. Invite your nearest and dearest to share in this special milestone with you. With a smaller headcount it's also easier to incorporate personalised details that make the day distinctly yours. The creative intimate weddings born of the pandemic restrictions continue to inspire couples today and it has now become very normal to have a smaller wedding.
Top 3 reasons to have an intimate winter wedding:
Less Stress
Avoid the logistical headaches of lengthy guest lists and endless RSVPs. Spend less time fretting over huge seating charts and instead adopt a more relaxed outlook and plan for your special day. With fewer guests, you have more flexibility to linger over photos, let conversations flow over dinner, and adjust timings as needed. When you don't have to accommodate hundreds of people, you can just enjoy each moment and not rush through the day to a ridgid timeline.
Personal Touches
When catering to an intimate group, include whatever brings you joy - favourite cocktails, music that makes you dance, unique decor touches etc. Gift guests personalised favours and focus on quality over quantity. Make your guests feel special and valued by adding thoughtful details and touches throughout your day.
Venue & Accommodation
With fewer attendees, it’s easier to book accommodation like a hotel block or large Airbnb where everyone can stay together. You’ll have more venue options too for hosting your wedding so you will get our dream space for saying ‘I Do’.
Ultimately, the goal for your special day is to spend it surrounded by your closest friends and family. Craft a wedding that reflects your love, personality and style and don’t be persuaded by extended family members to have anything else!
