Crazy and scary, for sure! Not to minimize the importance and devastating number of ones being affected and how essential is to follow all directions and rules given and being implemented.

But lets be positive and focus and happy and exciting ideas. So you got engaged and planned to get married this year and now you are being faced with postponing or even cancelling your big day. No to worry, okay give yourself 15 to worry and panic, but then come back and read how you can turn this into something so epic and memorable.

I’m sure you have seen TinyHouse Nation, right? So now think Tiny Wedding trend, yes Tiny Wedding, aka Micro Wedding is becoming a huge trend this year and even more so with what we are facing.

What is a Micro Wedding you ask? Well think of slightly more quiet (depending of your family and friends it can still be loud and lively), intimate group of your most favorite and loved people. Typically has a guest count of 20 or less, and has a shorter and much more simplistic timeline. Micro weddings will have a quick ceremony and a more casual and relaxed reception if you choose to have one or you can skip reception all together, but we all know you like to party, so go ahead and host that reception to celebrate with your closets friends.

In a wonderful location or setting that has special meaning to the both of you. Doing this allows you use your budget creating a more luxurious, detailed and personalized experience not just for you both but for all your guest. Think champagne bars, multi-course gourmet dinner with wine pairing, luxurious lines and centerpieces that doubled as favors.

This trend is allowing couples to really invest in pampering their closest family and friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Create an amazing memorable experience for your guest by having drinks named after them, using non traditional florals and giving back by utilizing your bouquets as gifts and by having a non-ordinary location which will unique and memorable in itself.

1. Green Vibes. Sustainability is the focus of 2020, Get creative when planning your wedding decor, reuse anything you can from ceremony structures to the reception space, having your bouquets double as centerpieces. Also including inclusive menus that appeal to any guest dietary needs. And don’t forget the charitable favors that allow you to donate to a meaningful cause.

1. Micro Weddings. Couples are striving to create smaller celebration to help the environment, which is why this trend is growing even more so this year. You ask what is a micro wedding? This is by invitation only event of your nearest and dearest family and friends, think 40 or less. With a smaller guest list it allows for a more elavorate meal, creating this soiree a more intimate and personalized event that will for sure create wonderful memories.

1. Vintage Decor. Think not just 1920’s inspired decor that brings pops of color, new palettes, print mixing and statement hues that wedding have not seen before. No more basic color palettes that we are used to seeing in weddings, like the standard white, green, all blush, or neutral, metallic colors. This year get in touch with your personal style—set the table, florals, and design accordingly. So excited for all these richer textures, like velvet, on the rise as 2020 wedding trends for both wedding décor and attire.

1. Personal Instagram Worthy Details. you want to have your wedding be #trending on your special day but you also want it to be special and Instagram worthy. Something that we all love and Instagram is food, think out of the ordinary: charcuterie boards, dessert stations not just cake. Escort cards are a popular and one you can get very creative with.

1. The Bolder The Better. This year details are never “too much”. Embrace the wow-worthy visual and textural details. From neon or letter boards signage, to fun and bold stationary. Also spray-painted flowers or hanging floral centerpieces. Unique wedding gowns, like a crop top two piece, with accessories like a barrettes and combs and for the groom suits in navy, teal and cobalt hues.

So if you are getting married this year 2020, let your personality and creativity shine and show.

A better questions would actually be: why haven’t you hired one yet?

Yes of course I’m bias to this topic, this is what I do, I plan weddings! But don’t just take my word for it, if you have any friends that have gotten married, ask them what was the benefit of hiring their wedding planner and if they didn’t, if they would do it different.

I’m confident on what the answer to that will be because all of my couples have agreed on that, hiring a wedding planner, was the best thing they could have done.

It not only reduces, if not completely eliminate the stress that comes with wedding planning but it allows you to really enjoy your wedding and the months that lead to it.

Your wedding day is for you, your beginning to a new life together. Make sure to take a moment and mentally and emotionally capture the day. It goes by so fast, it truly does. So stop and take a moment to capture the special feeling and meaning of this day. Take a mental image that will stay with you for a lifetime.
