Alright friend let’s start off strong…
When scouting for the perfect Airbnb to host your micro wedding in Nebraska, prioritize those with ample outdoor space. The ceremony and photos will happen outdoors so you want to make sure there is aesthetic space outdoors. A backyard, garden, or patio not only provides a picturesque setting for photos but will also serve as an enchanting backdrop for your ceremony.
Utilizing the outdoor space for your ceremony will bring the final special sauce to the moment you say your vows. Consider positioning the seating to frame a scenic view or under a charming tree for ambiance. Whether it's the sprawling lawn of a countryside retreat or the cozy patio of an urban Airbnb, use the unique characteristics of your Airbnb to make a beautiful wedding aisle and create that intimate and personal atmosphere.
One of the beauties of a micro wedding at an Airbnb is the flexibility it offers. You can choose to have the reception right there in the same cozy space where you exchanged vows, or you might opt for a separate venue or even a restaurant (depending on just how micro your wedding guest count ends up being). The key is aligning the reception location with your vision for the celebration. A quaint dinner in the Airbnb's backyard or a move to a nearby restaurant can both create unforgettable experiences.
The Airbnb's interior is your canvas for getting ready shots and capturing the intricate details of your special day. Look for spaces with beautiful natural light, stylish decor, and spacious areas that provide a comfortable setting for you and your wedding party to prepare for the festivities.
Before you pop the champagne, be aware of local regulations and permits for hosting events. Be sure to reach out to your Airbnb host and local authorities to understand any restrictions or necessary permits. This foresight helps you navigate potential obstacles and ensures a smooth and legal celebration.
Ensure the Airbnb you choose has plenty of aesthetic getting ready space for both you and your wedding party. Spacious bedrooms, well-lit common areas, and thoughtful touches make the getting-ready process enjoyable and stress-free. Ample space allows your photographer (me, I hope 😊) to capture those candid moments and the anticipation leading up to your walk down the aisle.
A few pros and cons to consider when choosing what’s best for you:
Pros:
Intimate Atmosphere: Micro weddings create an intimate and personal setting for genuine connections.
Budget-Friendly: With a smaller guest list, micro weddings can be more cost-effective.
Personalization: The coziness allows for a high level of personalization, from decor to the overall experience.
Cons:
Limited Guest List: Micro weddings may not be suitable for you if you’re desiring a large celebration.
Space Constraints: Some Airbnbs may have limited space, restricting certain activities.
Less Traditional Setting: If you envisioned a grand ballroom, the coziness of an Airbnb might differ from traditional expectations.
