The music was soft, a cello humming in the background. The bride wore boots under her silk dress. They said their vows in a greenhouse surrounded by succulents and twenty-five people who knew them inside out. This wasn’t a downsized version of a big wedding. It was the main event—thoughtful, tactile, and quietly bold. Micro-weddings aren’t a trend. They’re a shift. A refusal to follow the crowded aisle. Couples are moving away from performative, one-size-fits-all gatherings and choosing intimacy, intention, and storytelling that fits their real life—not a Pinterest board.
