1. Make it meaningful by personalizing your day
Choose an epic location that not only inspires you but that you love. Make your day not only about getting married but also about the adventure. Personalize your day doing exactly what you want to do, rent a cottage, go for a canoe trip, bring your dog, pop champagne, write letters or vows to one another the options are endless. Think of your favourite things together as a couple, and find ways to incorporate them into your day. B & R started their day with a first look.

Make it intimate and all about your love. B & R invited 15 of their most near and dear loved ones and included their sweet puppy during their ceremony too!
3. Plan it as you would have a big wedding.
When your guest list is smaller, your budget can go further. Now that financially things are smaller do go big on some of your favourite details.
