Weddings

May 20, 2025

Micro weddings are making a major impact, and for good reason. With all the heart of a traditional celebration but on a smaller, more intentional scale, Virginia micro weddings offer couples a deeply personal way to say “I do.” Whether you’re drawn to the Blue Ridge Mountains or a cozy garden venue in Northern Virginia, this guide covers everything you need to plan your dream micro wedding.

What is a Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding typically includes 10 to 50 guests and focuses on intimacy and intentionality. It often combines elements of elopements and traditional weddings but leans into smaller guest counts and more personalized details.

Planning Checklist:

  1. Choose Your Guest List. Start with your closest loved ones.
  2. Pick a Meaningful Venue. Think gardens, estates, wineries, or mountaintop overlooks.
  3. Find Your Dream Vendors. A photographer (hi, that’s me!), officiant, planner, and caterer.
  4. Curate Personal Details. Handwritten vows, custom playlists, locally sourced florals.
  5. Create a Cozy Timeline. Give yourselves space to slow down and soak in each moment.

Why Plan a Micro Wedding in Virginia?

Virginia offers everything from scenic mountain vistas to historic estates and charming small towns. You can find wedding venues that feel luxurious and relaxed, even on a smaller scale.

Planning a micro wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing beauty or meaning. It’s about elevating the moments that matter most.
