❤️find your “sweet & simple wedding” here❤️
Finding it difficult to navigate through all the venues and vendors when trying to plan a small wedding? In part this is because many company-run venues and wedding vendors began to offer weekday events during the pandemic out of necessity, as guest counts were restricted. Since those restrictions were lifted, however, they’ve realized that some couples can still be lured into an “elopement” with 50 guests or “micro wedding” for 100, with a price tag well into the thousands and many of the same stresses of finding vendors, managing guest lists, decorating and more. In other words, the terms may have changed but the goal remains to sell the idea of a grand, splashy wedding.
It doesn’t have to be this way! From an elopement for just the two of you to a boutique wedding with your closest family and friends, a celebration that’s been scaled to size can be every bit as delightful, even more so, than a lavish affair.
The trick is to approach your wedding from a “Sweet & Simple” mindset. Get creative and be flexible as you look for your perfect place. Hold onto traditions that are important to the two of you and let go of the ones that aren’t. Have an intimate ceremony with family and a big party later without the formality. Remember that “inspo” from celebrity weddings, influencers and wedding magazines doesn’t mean your celebration has to be just like theirs. And keep in mind that there’s no such thing as “musts” for a successful wedding except the love and joy you share with your special someone!

Zixuan and Justin eloped at Ciao Bella Celebrations, sharing a sweet & light-hearted ceremony. Photos were important to Zixuan, so after their “I Do’s,” they enjoyed a bubbly toast and headed into Old Town Warrenton for a romantic photo session.
Price for their elopement? - $400
Emily and Kyle wanted their nearest and dearest to join them on their special day. By keeping the numbers down, they were able to offer their guests high-quality food and drinks as a part of their celebration. They invited parents, siblings, and a few friends. With 15 guests they celebrated with a personalized ceremony from a certified Virginia Officiant, professional photography, wedding cake, mimosas, and appetizers. They brought special and thoughtful family heirlooms such as her beautiful wedding dress and the brooches in that amazing bouquet. Other traditions that were important to them were 1st Dance as Mr. and Mrs., Father Daughter Dance, a Champagne Toast and Cake Cutting.
Cost for their micro-wedding? $1,250
