Weddings have evolved tremendously over the years, and there are now various types of weddings to choose from depending on the couple’s style, preferences, and budget. Modern weddings are becoming increasingly popular, with couples opting for unique and personalized wedding celebrations. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the modern wedding day types and their definitions.
A micro wedding is an intimate wedding ceremony with a small guest list, usually consisting of immediate family and close friends. The idea behind a micro wedding is to keep the guest list small, which can make the wedding more intimate and meaningful. It is perfect for couples who prefer a more relaxed and informal wedding celebration.
A destination wedding is a wedding held in a location away from the couple’s hometown. It can be held in a different city, state, or even a different country. Destination weddings are perfect for couples who want a unique and adventurous wedding celebration. They are also an excellent way to combine the wedding with a honeymoon and create unforgettable memories.
A classic wedding typically follows the general thoughts one has when the word “wedding” is stated. It includes nicer attire, ceremony, reception, music, food and usually dancing. Size ranges from 50-400 and is located within 1-2 hours of living location. The venue can vary, but most commonly at an established wedding venue such as The Kleffner or a family ranch.
An adventure wedding is a non-traditional, outdoor wedding experience that prioritizes adventure, exploration, and unique settings over the typical ceremony and reception format. This type of wedding often takes place in a remote, natural location such as a mountain peak, forest clearing, riverside, or beach, and includes activities such as hiking, kayaking, rafting, off-roading, or rock climbing as part of the wedding festivities. Adventure weddings emphasize authenticity, intimacy, and outdoor fun for both the party and attendees.
An elopement wedding is a private, intimate ceremony that typically involves just the couple, an officiant or witness, and photographer and is sometimes kept secret from family and friends. Elopements are usually planned ahead of time and can take place anywhere, from a courthouse or city hall to a mountaintop, beach, or destination location. They are typically chosen for their simplicity and low-stress nature, and allow couples to focus on their commitment to each other without the distractions and pressures of a traditional wedding. Many choose this route if they are looking for an intimate day, documented well with lots of photos and incredible scenery.
In the end this day is all about you and your fiance. Find the style that makes the two of you happiest and run with it. Have as many or as few people in attendance. Pick the most epic of designations for photographs of you and your love or keep it intimate and family centered. I am here for the two of you and will help celebrate in whatever way you choose. Happy Adventuring!
