But times have changed and the present challenges have pushed couples to go for smaller weddings. Hence, micro weddings have made their way into the scene and are showing us that they’re just as meaningful. Yes, you can have an utterly romantic micro wedding with less than 20 guests! Not only that, micro weddings come with perks that make wedding planning easier. If you’re still doubtful if a micro wedding is for you, maybe reading these 8 perks will change your mind.
