One thing couples often overlook when planning a micro-wedding: the flow of the day.
Most people spend all their energy on the big decisions — the venue, the food, the photographer — and leave the day's actual timeline to chance. Then the day arrives, and things feel rushed, or there are awkward gaps, or no one knows where to stand.
A micro-wedding has fewer moving parts than a traditional wedding, but that doesn't mean it runs itself.
Here's what actually makes an intimate ceremony feel seamless: someone has mapped out the exact order of events, knows how long each moment takes, and is there to keep things on track without the guests ever noticing.
Whether you're working with a coordinator or going the DIY route, build your timeline before you finalize anything else. Know how long the ceremony is, how long photos will take, when guests arrive versus when the couple arrives, and where everyone goes between moments.
A little structure is what lets the day feel relaxed.
If you'd like help thinking through the timeline for your ceremony, we do that as part of every planning package.
