Pop up weddings, any thoughts?

Karen, on September 12, 2019 at 5:31 PM Posted in Planning 0 4

My fiance and I are on a tight budget $8,000 or less for 30-40 people. I just heard the term from my sister whose friend is having a pop-up wedding with only family. Has anyone used that and what was your experience?

    I just had to google what a pop up wedding was as I've never heard the term before either. It sounds really fun! I think it could definitely be doable. Would you keep it local or plan for a destination? If you're family is cool with surprises, I think this could be a great fun alternative!

    I don't have any personal experience, but I saw a pop up wedding on Cheapest Weddings (on Netflix). The bride and groom were under a tight time constraint so being even a few minutes late made the guests and groom super stressed. Just something to consider! Smiley smile

    They’re a pretty popular topic on the blog Offbeat Bride if you want to see more examples of brides who did them! They’re definitely not that common or even heard of but you can get a great deal with a photographer that way.

    Hey Karen!

    If a pop-up wedding is something that you want, then I think it's a great idea! Obviously a big, traditional wedding isn't for everyone and if you want to do something a little different, you're definitely thinking along the right lines. Do you think you would keep it local, or do a destination pop-up wedding?

    You could also look ingot a micro wedding as a way of keeping your costs down -
