Unique Micro Wedding Ideas
Unveiling the Most Unique micro wedding Ideas you’ll quickly adore
Listen, your wedding day should be exactly what you want it to be—not what Pinterest or your aunt thinks is “appropriate.” If you’re here, you’re probably looking for something different, something that actually reflects you and your partner, rather than a version of every wedding you’ve ever attended. So, let’s get into it! Here are some unique micro wedding ideas to make your wedding day feel less like a formal production and more like a unique documentary made just for you.
Walk down the aisle with both of your parents
Who says only one parent gets to walk the bride down the aisle? Scratch that and have both of your parents walk you down the aisle if you want! Bonus points if you have your dog walk down alongside you, too. Let’s be real our dogs are family too.
Have a first look, but with a twist
The classic first look? LOVE IT. But what if you added a little chaos? What if your best man wears a dress as a surprise? Make your partner think you’re doing your first look! Maybe you do your first look followed by a private dance? Whatever it is, make it unique!
Skip the traditional seating
Turn your reception into an outdoor dinner party with twinkling string lights. Picture a set up table in the middle of a field, vineyard, or backyard. Bonus if you throw in backyard barbecue or upscale picnic vibes with your favorite comfort foods!
Create a Wedding Time Capsule
Set up a station where guests can write notes, give advice, or leave funny polaroids for you to open on your first anniversary.
Surprise Your Guests with a Late Night Snack Bar
After a couple hours of reception fun, think about having a late night snack bar. This could include a taco truck, donut bar, pizza spread, french fry bar, cheese curd buffet, or your favorite snack.
Wisconsin Food Trucks that I love:
Let one of your friends or family members officiate
Okay, hear me out, have someone that is special to the two of you officiate your wedding. A friend could open with a funny story, your sibling does the legal part, and your grandma gives the closing words. Whatever you do, just make it personalized and unique.
Make Your Ceremony unique
Whether it’s having a small guest count, cocktail hour before the ceremony, unique seating styles, walking down the aisle by yourself or with both parents instead of one, meeting your groom halfway and walking down the rest of the aisle together, ring security, beer guys, pets as flower girl or ring bearer, flower girlies, unique officiants, mimosas served as guests enter, unity rituals, non traditional vows, fun ceremony exits, watch party after eloping, circle ceremony, a statement aisle, or even a band/guitarist/singer. Whatever it is, just make it feel personal and unique.
Rent an Airbnb & Turn Your Wedding Into a Weekend Getaway
Weddings don’t have to be a one day only event. Rent a dreamy Airbnb! I love cabins, beach houses, or something super aesthetic. You can turn it into a whole experience for you and your wedding party. Maybe it’s a duplex where guys can get ready on one side and girls can get ready on the other or maybe it’s a large victorian house with 3 levels and the guys get ready on one level and the girls on the other. You can spend the whole weekend there as well with your closest friends.
Airbnb Options in Wisconsin:
Ditch the Traditional Guestbooks
Instead of a traditional guestbook, how about you set up a vintage style phone where guests can leave you voice messages, time capsule, personalized playing cards with engagement photos on one side, sign a wedding guitar, vintage typewriter, jenga, postcards, message in a bottle, vinyl record, venue illustration, puzzle, globe guestbook, swatch book (make a quilt out of it after), a map of the city or state you fell in love, wine bottles to sign (drink on anniversaries), a camcorder set up (splice together after and watch it like a home movie), and anything else!
Wisconsin Guestbook Rentals:
Can’t decide what to do for your reception? Make a RSVP poll
Give guests options on their RSVP’s…
Whether it’s a casual bonfire after all the dance floor fun, a fun food truck party, or a laid-back brunch the next morning, let your guests vote! This way, you’re not just guessing what people will enjoy, and you can plan a reception that actually fits your vibe (without the stress of decision fatigue).
Wisconsin Invitation Options:
Skip the Wedding Party
You don’t have to have a wedding party. But if you love the idea, make it a party, have just your closest friends stand up with you or just family.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, your wedding should feel like you. Whether that means hiking to your ceremony spot, having a backyard picnic, or eloping on a mountain top. I say go for it!! Forget the rules and do whatever makes you guys happy.
