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 you to have meaningful interactions with each and every guest, rather than the rushed greetings that come with larger guest lists. Plus, less guests means less cost, giving you the opportunity to spend more on special wedding details- a five-star meal, a luxurious wedding venue (villa by the sea? Yes please!), or save the extra cash for an epic honeymoon at your dream destination- Paris? Oui, Oui!
These magical intimate beach wedding ceremony photos are must-sees, and may just inspire you to cut your wedding guest list in half.
