5 Reasons why Micro Weddings may be here to stay

LUXURY INTIMATE WEDDING

Let's Face it, Luxury Micro Wedding and Luxury African weddings have not been something that would normally go together. The beauty of Luxury African Weddings is in the Size, the colour, the guests and their clothes, and the cultural celebrations. 

However, With guest numbers at weddings now reduced down to 15, I find myself having completely different conversations with couples and those wanting to celebrate in Style despite these restrictions. Smaller does not mean compromising on anything! especially the style which is great news for those wanting to plan an opulent celebration but on a micro-scale.

Below are 5 Reasons why the Micro Wedding Trend for Luxury African Weddings may be here to stay!

FOCUS ON EXPERIENCE

The smaller size doesn’t mean smaller in anything else, it means you have more money per head to pull out the stops. Weddings cost per head and so having fewer numbers will significantly increase your ability to WOW your guests! Invitations can be more grand, Florals and place settings too, you do not need to search the length and breadth of the UK looking for the perfect venue to host 500 of your nearest and dearest nor compromise on any single aspect. The choices are endless and you can create the Ultimate Luxury experience for your limited guests.

Thinking of holding a 3-day Extravaganza? You got it! A Stay in an exclusive hire venue complete with your own butler? You bet!

Or perhaps you want a 4 Day trip complete with varied experiences and your own tour guide in your private resort? Of course!

SMALL NOW- BIG LATER

Having a smaller celebration now would allow you to also have a larger celebration later. Nothing stops you from hosting a larger wedding later and pull out all the stops.

KEEP IT TRADITIONAL

Culturally, African weddings have traditions that we uphold from giving dowry, gift exchanges, and just the beauty of traditional weddings. These are amazing on a large scale but don’t be disheartened, You can hold an intimate traditional wedding complete with all the gifts and most importantly honour your heritage. Again, Nothing stops you from holding another once you can.

SAVE ON COSTS

Traditional Luxury African Celebrations have guest lists starting at 300 with costs well above £60,000 for those wanting an opulent and spectacular celebration. With these new restrictions, couples may be able to more than half their initial budget by simply cutting the guest list. Think of where those funds could be allocated instead or how they can be spread across the small guest list? The possibilities are endless!
