Rethinking our wedding
I would love some advice on this and see if other brides have had similar experiences. My fiancé and I booked our wedding venue for summer of 2027. We only toured one venue and I absolutely fell in love with it. It’s a flower farm and we would plan to camp the whole weekend with all of our closest family and friends. It really is a dream and so so stunning.
What I’m struggling with is the price and already having regret that we are spending so much for 1 day. We have the opportunity to go to Peru this fall but with the wedding we will likely need to say no (an experience I would otherwise try to make work). I originally wanted a micro wedding and then a big party (either the day of or a week or so after) that all of our family and friends could go to. Instead with this setup we would have everything in one day with around 75 people. My fiancé has a big family but mine is relatively small but people would be incredibly upset if there aren’t invited to the ceremony. We have also already told a lot of people about what we were planning for our wedding and the venue we booked so I don’t know if it’s too late to change
My questions:
- Other brides, did you ever regret your venue choice and change while planning?
- Did you regret not having a bigger wedding? Has anybody regretted having a smaller wedding?
- Thoughts on micro weddings/ how many people makes sense before just jumping to a bigger wedding
Any other advice would be so helpful!!
Edit: I definitely described the “camping” wrong. In no way would this be a required thing. The bridal party and close family would stay the day before (they want to) and all guests have the OPTION to stay the second night if they want to. There is also the option to bring trailers/ car camp or just make sure they have a DD and go home since the venue is 40 minutes from most of our guests in any direction. The camping area is full tree cover and we are in western Washington so most of our hottest days are few and far between.
