Defining the essence of your celebration

Start with the heart: what's really important to both of you? It's not the size of your wedding that determines its success, but the quality of the moments you share. Think ambience rather than excess: a secret garden, a secluded beach, a small mountain chalet... The perfect venue is just waiting for you.

The Guest List: Less is more

With a small wedding, every guest counts double. Select the people who really have a special place in your life. This is your opportunity to spend quality time with everyone, not run from table to table.

Focus on quality

Low budget doesn't mean low quality. On the contrary, it gives you the freedom to opt for more refined and personal choices: a local caterer, decorations that truly reflect you, cut flowers from the garden... Let your preferences speak for themselves.

A customized program

Forget traditions that don't speak to you. Your small wedding is an opportunity to break with convention and create a program that truly reflects you as a couple. Mixology workshop, wine tasting, private concert... What will make your eyes sparkle?

Technology at your service

Even in small groups, why not share the moment with those who can't be there? A livestream of the ceremony, a dedicated hashtag to collect all the snapshots, a collaborative playlist... The options are endless.

Attention to detail

It's in the small details that the uniqueness of your wedding is revealed. Personalized gifts for your guests, a handwritten thank-you note, a menu concocted especially for the occasion... Every detail counts.

Planning a small wedding doesn't mean compromising on the dream, but rather redefining it to fit your unique vision of love and celebration. With a little creativity, good organization and a lot of love, your small wedding won't just be perfect, it'll be unforgettable.

What's important? That every decision, from the venue to the guest list, from the decorations to the entertainment, reflects your union and your personality. Remember: this is your day. Let it shine in your image, and every moment will be a treasure to cherish.
