4 reasons you should have a micro wedding (plus, micro wedding venues and ideas)
If you’ve seen the word “microwedding” around the internet, your brain may jump straight to eloping, right? But a microwedding is a tiny wedding of under 50ish people, usually planned in a similar fashion to larger weddings but on a smaller scale.

A dashing self-officiating urban elopement (with a rock star cameo!)
Sheannette and Paul met when she bought a mid-century desk from him via Craigslist! It was basically love at first sight after that.

They ran into a super famous rock star just chilling with his dogs. Let’s see the whole stunning display at this self-officiating urban elopement…
A romantic Ohio forest elopement for two (with purple hair and smoke bombs!)
Kitti and Sean wanted a private and intimate Ohio forest elopement for two. They want it private, but they also wanted it to represent their style. Their photographer met them at the entrance to the forest at Pine Quarry Park in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. There was a private ceremony, a gorgeous cake, and a few stunning portraits (some with colorful smoke bombs — the groom’s idea!).
Let’s get a tiny look at this secluded Ohio forest elopement…

And to make that day as long as possible, they got married on the longest day of the year: the summer solstice!
