We usually spend a lot of our creativity in looking at colors and photos or decors for the next wedding season.
This year we think that things are a little different. Coronavirus pandemic had a massive effect on our social life and lifestyle, so the wedding business has to deal with it.
As always happens with big phenomenons, new words are created to describe new realities. And these ones set the latest trends.
It is the case of minimatrimony, elopement, sequel wedding or microwedding in Italy.
As a matter of fact and to be really honest, elopements and microweddings in Italy are already part of our core business. We planed so many microweddings in Italy even before that this become really trendy for coronavirus. Italy has always been a dreamy destination for intimate weddings and elopements. We always welcome these events on our lakes, countryside, seaside, and mountains too.
So, let’s label all this with a new word, but let’s keep the same enthusiasm we make our couples’ dreams come true.
But let’s see all in detail.
Minimatrimony, Sequel Wedding, Elopement and Microwedding in Italy
What Is a Minimatrimony?
Many couples who postponed their wedding to 2021 nuptials opted for a minimony to honor their original wedding date
It is a mini ceremony is something different than a microwedding in Italy. It is held with your loved ones, or only between the bride and groom. With the uncertainty of the coronavirus crisis, couples have decided to go on with their plans. They decided to reduce the number of guests to the minimum.
A minimatrimony is considered a commitment ceremony between the bride and groom, and it can include up to 10 guests.
They all need to respect social distancing measures. Health should be a priority throughout the planning and postponement process. Many couples who postponed their wedding to 2021 nuptials opted for a minimatrimony to honor their original wedding date.
They can probably consider planning a party with a bigger group of guests to celebrate when this is possible but without ceremony only a grand celebration.
This will lead us to Sequel Weddings.

What Is a Microwedding in Italy?
We can really say that a microwedding in Italy is something between an elope and a big wedding
A microwedding in Italy is what we at Italian Wedding Company have done since 2007. Still, as we mentioned above, now it has a new name to define it. Most of the Italian destination weddings were already microweddings in Italy before the Coronavirus pandemic. Still, if you did not think about that before, this could be an excellent occasion to start dreaming about it.
A microwedding in Italy typically hosts up to 50 guests. In general, they are immediate family and close friends. As you have a guest list, a microwedding differs from a minimony, and it is not an elopement.
We can really say that a microwedding in Italy is something between an elope and a big wedding. It could be just perfect if you are thinking about a destination wedding in Italy.
Without considering that if, on the one hand, the guest list is small, on the other hand, the experience will be significant. With the same budget as a big wedding with 200 guests, you can plan a wonderful destination wedding with a lot of things to do for you and your guests. Many details can be added, such as the day before and after events, boat trips, wine tasting, etc.

What Is an Elopement?
Elopements used to be considered unplanned events involving secrecy
We started planning elopes in Italy a long time ago, in beautiful destinations such as Rome, Amalfi Coast, Lakes, Venice, and enchanting countryside or Alps. However, they got trendy in the last five years. Elopements used to be considered unplanned events involving secrecy. Today there is still some romance around a couple who elopes. Still, brides and grooms are taking more attention to details and personalizations now.
As mentioned, Italy could be perfect for elopements. There are so many destinations that could be very dreamy and incredibly romantic even side of the top wedding destinations we already mentioned.
Off beaten tracks and very intimate destinations such as Piemonte Countryside, Apulia, Sicily could be just ideal.
