Spoiler alert: we love intimate weddings. Narrowing your guest list down to just your nearest and dearest can be a challenge, but it’s so worth it. A smaller guests list allows for you to meaningful interactions with each and every guests, rather than the rushed greetings that come with larger guest lists. Plus, less guests means less costs, giving you the opportunity to spend more on special wedding details- a five-star meal, a luxurious wedding venue, or save the extra cash for an epic honeymoon at your dream destination- Paris? Oui, Oui!
These magical intimate wedding reception photos are must-sees, and may just inspire you to cut your wedding guest list in half.
