Thanks to a year of virtual development (#𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦?!), more and more couples are moving their wedding planning online. From the comfort of their cozy couch, soon-to-be spouses can book a venue, buy their wedding dress, and plan their honeymoon! Many couples are even choosing to create 𝘄𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 as a central form of communication with their guests. (𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 @withjoy!) These online tools give loved ones easy access to the registry, things to do around town, and all the details and logistics for the big day. However, this modern format does raise concerns about privacy.⁣
⁣
⁣
Data brokers scour the internet in search of personal information they can resell, and your wedding website could be subject to this threat. Other cyber scammers pursue vendor fraud– posing as fake photographers, florists, or DJs and tricking couples out of their money. While online wedding planning is advantageous, it’s crucial to know and avoid the risks of online vendor fraud. ⁣

So how much should you budget for your 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 wedding? We’re breaking it down for you today, babes! ⁣
⁣
On average, for a downtown KC wedding, plan to spend between $𝟺𝟶,𝟶𝟶𝟶 and $𝟿𝟶,𝟶𝟶𝟶 for your big day. *𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 🥵*⁣

Sarah and I met as I first entered the wide world of weddings. One of my first few weddings was with her by my side! I was instantly captured by her servant’s heart and her straight 𝗝𝗢𝗬 for those around her. Not only does is she an amazing creative, she’s an amazing soul. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Since then, we’ve shared so many moments together— styled shoots, events, coffee and many beautiful wedding days. She quickly moved beyond a ‘friendor’ to just straight 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱. ⁣

The term ‘𝘸𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨’ has really become an all-inclusive term. Believe it or not, there’s a few different types of weddings we could be referencing when using that phrase. ⁣
⁣
Let’s break it down! ⁣
________________________________⁣
⁣
• 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆: ⁣
This one’s easy! The wedding ceremony is what “𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺” — name that movie 😉. The ceremony is the official act of uniting two souls in marriage. The ceremony can take different forms, civil or religious, and can be as unique or traditional as what speaks to you, and is the only requirement to having a wedding. ⁣
⁣
• 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆: ⁣
Minimonies are smaller versions of the ceremony, usually 10 people or fewer, including a photographer and officiant. To host a minimony, gather an officiant, photographer, and your closest loved ones, and head to the location. This can be on the beach or in your backyard, as long as it feels special to y’all. Once you’re there, exchange your vows, take photos, and soak in every second of this special moment with your partner and loved ones. ⁣
⁣
• 𝗘𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: ⁣
When you think of elopements, images of couples running to city hall or heading to a dreamy mountaintop probably pass through your mind. Elopements are intimate unions, typically between the couple, an officiant, and a witness. If you and your partner want to get married quickly or just prefer to share this special moment in private, this might be the best choice for you!⁣
⁣
• 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: ⁣
Micro weddings are quite literally smaller versions of traditional weddings, meant for 50 people or fewer. The event timeline will start with the ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour and reception, and will include all of the traditions that are important to the couple. ⁣
⁣
• 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻/𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴:⁣
aka — THE PARTY 💃 Think food, drinks, dancing and fun as we celebrate the newly married couple. Technically, you can still have a wedding without hosting a reception. But looking at Sarah’s face in this final photo, we’re not sure we’d want to! ⁣
