Planning a wedding in Northern Ireland and leaning towards something a little more intimate? Micro weddings are officially having a moment – and we are so here for it! Whether you’re going for a romantic elopement, a cosy celebration with just your nearest and dearest, or a chic city-centre do, a smaller guest list doesn’t mean scaling back on style or personality.
In fact, the beauty of a micro wedding is that you can go all in on the details that matter most to you. From unique dress choices to creative personal touches, here’s our expert take on micro weddings and how to make them unforgettable – starting, of course, with the dress.
Bridal Boutique Northern Ireland: Wedding Dress ideas for a Micro Wedding
One of the most exciting things about planning a smaller celebration? You’ve got the freedom to choose a wedding dress that really reflects your vibe. At our Bridal boutique in Northern Ireland, we’ve seen a rise in brides opting for relaxed, modern styles with a fashion-forward twist – perfect for more low-key venues or alternative settings.
Think minimalist satin gowns, shorter lengths, stunning separates or even chic jumpsuits. These styles look effortlessly cool in intimate spaces and really let your personality shine. If you're saying your "I do's" in a garden, at the coast, or even in Belfast city hall, you want a look that feels just right for the setting – and that you can move, hug, and celebrate in with ease!
Psst... a micro wedding also means you might be able to invest a bit more in the details, like custom accessories or a second look for the evening. You’ve got options, and we’re here to help you explore them all.
