Getting Married During Economic Uncertainty: Why Micro Weddings Make More Sense Than Ever

There is no denying that planning a wedding in 2025, or for 2026 & 2027, feels a little different. With rising costs, economic uncertainty, and couples becoming more intentional about how (and where) they invest their money, the traditional big wedding isn’t the automatic choice it once was. And if we are honest, that’s not a bad thing!

At Marigold Micro Weddings, we believe that love deserves to be celebrated no matter what is happening in the economy. And we also believe you should not have to go into debt to do it!

Why Micro Weddings Make Sense Right Now

You can invest in what matters the most to you.

Instead of stretching your budget to cover dinner for 150 guests, micro weddings allow you to spend wisely on the details you really care about: floral, photography, videography, venue with a view. It’s about quality, not quantity.

They give you flexibility without the overwhelm.

Economic uncertainty makes long-term planning feel tricky. Micro weddings offer the kind of flexibility a big wedding cannot. Whether it's having a smaller planning timeline, a more personal venue, or simply fewer logistics to manage.

There is a generational shift happening, and it's about time.

Millennial and Gen Z couples are redefining what weddings look like. They’re prioritizing emotional connection over pageantry, personal values over pressure, and budget conscious choices that still feel elevated. Micro weddings meet that moment.

You’re not just saving money, you’re gaining freedom.

Economic uncertainty brings a lot of unknown. Choosing a micro wedding lets you celebrate your love now, without waiting for “someday when things settle”. You have the freedom to say yes to vendors, decor options, and small details that help create your dream wedding. Your wedding options begin to open up drastically with a limited guest count.
