Does the idea of a smaller wedding excite you? Does it mean more intimacy, more comfort, and more love? Intimate weddings have been gaining popularity for the last few years but have risen to new heights during this pandemic. Intimate weddings are a great idea as they give you a breathing space on the most important day of your life. They give you time to let that feeling of ‘just-married’ sink in and a chance to celebrate your love story with the people you love the most. They are budget-friendly and the money that’s saved can be utilized in adding more personal details and the ‘dream quotient’ in your dream wedding. It could be the lighting, as in an intimate setting you could totally amp up the lighting to give it a romantic fairytale feel. It not only adds to the romantic element, but it is also great for your oh-so-romantic wedding photography! See, it’s a win-win! And just like that, two souls will merge into one amidst romantic settings, surrounded by the warmth of people who matter the most!

Your wedding celebration has been postponed and a new wedding date has been set. It’s tough but this too shall pass. In the meanwhile, what you can do is have a commitment ceremony and stream it live, to mark your original wedding date and you can celebrate your wedding later. Although virtual commitment ceremonies are not legally recognized, they can give you a sense of hanging-in-there-together in these trying times by exchanging your wedding vows.
