How to Plan a Small Intimate Wedding: Helpful Tips and Ideas 

Not all couples have big and extravagant weddings, more and more couples are now opting to have smaller, more intimate weddings. Small weddings provide you and your guests with a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, and they bring you and those close to you together perfectly for your big day. However, just because you’re having a smaller wedding, doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your celebration or cut down on those special things that you’ve always wanted to have on your wedding day. 

Our team at Leinster Wedding Suppliers have put together this post to share with you some helpful tips and ideas for how to plan a small, intimate wedding. Leinster Wedding Suppliers is an Irish boutique collective of the best wedding professionals, helping you find all of the perfect suppliers to create the wedding day you’ve always dreamed of.

Choose the Perfect Intimate Venue for your Small Wedding

When planning a small wedding, one of the first things to consider is your venue. You want to find a space that is the right size for your chosen number of guests, to help create the right type of atmosphere. You don’t want your venue to feel empty, so seek out a small and cosy environment that you can fill with decor and accessories rather than a big and spacious venue.

Think outside the box when choosing your wedding venue too. You can choose between a hotel, teepee, restaurant, barn and many other types of venues to find the ideal small venue for you and your partner. 

Narrow Down your Guest List to your Closest Loved Ones 

When planning a small wedding, you need to be selective with your guest list so that you have the perfect number of people attending your big day. This may seem obvious, but it can be challenging in practice when it actually comes to whittling your guest list down.

You want every single person at your wedding to be special to you and your partner, so think about who you couldn’t imagine getting married without. There is no pressure to invite certain people to your wedding and you can keep plus ones to a minimum as well. Once you’ve carefully selected your guests, you can then send out beautifully designed invitations to get your family and friends excited about your special day.

Make it Feel Cosy and Romantic with your Decor

To make your small wedding feel more cosy and romantic, carefully consider the styling and decor for your venue. You don’t want your wedding venue to feel cold and unwelcoming, so you should add some personal touches to the decoration to ensure the space perfectly reflects you as a couple and your individual taste.

Think fairy lights, candles, flowers, foliage and wedding signs. All of these accessories and finishing touches to your decor can make your small venue look truly beautiful, and your guests will be stunned at how perfect your venue is.

 

Hire a Live Band for your Wedding Music 

If you don’t have lots of guests or a huge dance floor, you might not want a DJ and you could hire a live band for your wedding instead. A live band is a great way to make your small wedding feel even more special, and you and your guests can enjoy an intimate performance by your band of choice. 

Live bands still sound amazing in smaller venues and they’re guaranteed to get people up and dancing during your evening reception. The band that you choose will help to ensure that people have lots of fun at your wedding and they will give your guests a musical experience that won’t be forgotten any time soon. 

Add Lots of Personal Touches

In addition to adding some personal touches to your decor, you should think about some of the other ways you can make your wedding day more personal. Personal touches can go a long way with a small wedding and you can use things like stationery to make your guests feel even more special and lucky to have been invited to your big day. 

Some popular personal touches that you could include are; table place cards, thank-you notes for your guests, carefully curated menus and personalised favours. All of these little touches will make your guest feel special and included, and they can add another level of intimacy to your small wedding.
