💌 Six Intimate Wedding Ideas that Save Big on Expenses 💰

🙋‍♀️ Craft a guest list that's all about quality over quantity.

💒 Think beyond traditional venues and explore unique settings that exude character. Think local gardens, the beach, library, art gallery, restaurant or a rooftop bar. Options like these often come with a friendlier price tag.

✂️ Embrace your inner DIY guru and get creative with your decor, or better yet, leave the smaller details out. We bet you no-one will even notice.

🥑 Instead of a full-course plated dinner, consider a family-style or buffet meal. Maybe even a food truck! Or get in touch with your favourite local eatery to see if they'll do you a special menu. Thinking outside the box and going with an alternative caterer often leads to cost-savings.

🍰 Opt for a small, elegant cutting cake to keep the tradition alive without overspending on a large cake.

📸 Choose a photographer experienced in capturing the essence of intimate celebrations, rather than opting for extensive hours of coverage. You can get a large number of photos in a short amount of time.

Crafting an intimate wedding that's both budget-friendly and rich in quality is an art that we're passionate about. By focusing on what truly matters and making mindful choices, you can create a day that's as magical as your love story without the financial stress. 💟

WHAT IS A POP UP WEDDING?

💚 Our team runs pop-up wedding days at selected venues around Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
💜 We select the day and venue, you choose a ceremony time. You'll have exclusive use of the venue and all suppliers are included.
💛 By marrying three or more couples in one day at the same venue, we're sharing supplier costs. This means you get the full wedding experience for only a portion of the price.
💙 It also means you may get access to venues that you wouldn't be able to otherwise, due to budget or minimum guest number limits.
🧡 You also get a gorgeously styled ceremony area, with all suppliers included for 90-120 minutes of celebrations with your closest loved ones.
❤️ All you need to do is turn up, get married, and celebrate with your favourite people.

Thank you D&S for choosing the Little Wedding Planner to organise your awesome, little, fuss-free wedding. 🥳

D&S have such an epic love story. They married when they were younger, went their separate ways, and then 23 years later they found each other again (in the local fish and chip shop no doubt!) How romantic is that 💖

We felt honoured to organise a pop-up wedding for D&S to celebrate their renewed love with 50 of their closest friends and family. It was a magical day 🥰

TESTIMONIAL from R+D, married at The Elms on 24.3.23

"From the first meeting with Bre, through to the wedding day itself, we found the planning and communication was faultless and nothing was a problem. The day was spectacular, we couldn’t have asked for more. We highly recommend The Little Wedding Planner to any couple looking for a little wedding. Thank you, Bre."

NEW BLOG POST 👇

This week, we're featuring this rustic-charm "wedding" out at No 2 Road Hall, Te Puke. Our models, Sunny and Courtney, are a real-life couple and treated this shoot as their real wedding - Sunny even bought rings and proposed pre-shoot! 💟

The weather was rainy (as it has been for most of this summer *cries*) but we made the most of the charming indoor space, with the painted wooden walls and the stunning floors, and even managed a cheeky shot from the exterior (only because Erin was a trooper and braved the rain!). 📸

Styling highlights from R+D's ceremony 💍🎉👏

Definitely enjoyed putting it all together. Mum tools some clippings of ladder ferns from her garden, I bought a silver drop eucalyptus and also took some cuttings from a friend's tree, and we found toi toi alongside the road. After trying a few different arrangements, the finished look was relaxed, and clean with a nod to Renee's Australian roots 🌾🌿 which was exactly what we were going for.

Hi! I'm Bre and I wanted to introduce myself to all the new followers coming through the feed (that's right, I see you!).

Mount Maunganui is my home, I live with my partner Matthew and am passionate about rock climbing, native birds, dancing in my car while stuck in traffic, and making people laugh.

The Little Wedding Planner has been a pet project of mine for a long time now. The traditional values and expectations of weddings never quite sat right with me, and I've always been interested in exploring alternative ways of getting hitched. I've been on the business-woman journey since May of this year, I've learnt A LOT and I'm still learning.

My mission is to make dream weddings achievable for everyone. I want to help people achieve their big goals in life - whether that be buying a house, starting a business, growing a family, or going travelling - while still enjoying a unique, one-of-a-kind wedding experience.

Using my skills in event management, relationships, and organisation, I'm here to plan friggin' great wedding experiences that are simple, sustainable, stress-free and inclusive. Pop up weddings and packages throughout New Zealand is the dream

1. Pop up weddings are a new, novel way of celebrating your love that aligns with your bigger goals in life. 💗
2. They're a unique, one-of-a-kind wedding that gives couples their dream wedding experience within their budget 💒
3. Pop up weddings happen at a single venue over an entire day or weekend, with multiple couples getting married over the course of the day (at different times) 👩‍❤️‍👩
4. Couples share the costs of the big-ticket suppliers, paying only a fraction of what they'd usually expect to pay 💸 save your money for the mortgage/family/business/holiday!
5. They're perfect for people wanting a small, family-friendly gathering of 12-50 people. Maybe you're shy, don't like being centre of attention, or just want something more relaxed and intimate 💍
6. The wedding to-do list is more than halved - organising the celebrant, photographer, venue, styling, furniture, catering, drinks, flowers and cake is completely taken care of 🥳
7. The only decisions couples need to make are - the venue, the time slot, who to invite, what to wear, hair and make-up if you want it, and what to do afterwards (that's nothing compared to a traditional wedding!) 🥂
8. Pop up weddings eliminate stress, as there are less decisions to make, less planning and preparation to do, and less things to worry about on the actual wedding day 🥰
9. Couples save a huge amount of time planning as an expert wedding planner and coordinator is included (as well as all set-up, pack-down and cleaning) 📅
10. They're super easy to plan from as little as 1-3 months in advance 💐 no more spending six months to a year planning your wedding, get hitched asap and get on with your amazing life!
