3 Benefits of Having a Small & Intimate Wedding
While many might be envious of grand, luxe weddings, I get a bit jealous when I see small fetes done SO right. There's something incredibly enticing about the idea of an intimate celebration—one in which you can place importance on exactly the priorities you want. With the help of Davia Lee, Brittany and Brett, did just that at Kestrel Park and I think you'll agree they've got the right idea. Jen Huang froze these sweet memories in time for an even sweeter duo. See it all here and take a peek below for a few reasons we think a quaint celebration might be right for you, too.
Inspired by their favourite European locations, Brittany and Brett set out to host an intimate outdoor wedding in California. A focus on fantastic food and creating a warm, cosy atmosphere led to a family-style dinner with their small guest list seated together at one table. With a family-style meal, there is minimal space for decor, so we love the choice to add in a colored linen table runner, adding some personality to the overall tablescape. Twinkling candles and a smaller greenery centrepiece complete the look.
1. A smaller guest count means more one-on-one time! Celebrations with hundreds of loved ones can be an absolute blast, but leaves less time for true connection. If that's what you're craving, aim to have 50 guests or less.

1. A smaller guest count means more one-on-one time! Celebrations with hundreds of loved ones can be an absolute blast, but leaves less time for true connection. If that's what you're craving, aim to have 50 guests or less.
2. With fewer seats to be filled and less space to occupy, a smaller wedding actually gives you a wider range of venue options! You can get really creative with your venue when you've got a shorter guest list.
3. An intimate fete allows for more of a priority on a true family-style dinner and in most cases a bigger focus on food selection. While you can still achieve this with a larger guest count, there's nothing quite like sharing an entire table with everyone who attends your wedding. And again, you'll be able to savor not only the food on your plate, but the conversations and memories made as well. Pass the vino, please!
