Some people dream of a huge wedding, with hundreds of guests and all the fuss and fanfare. But if this idea leaves you a little cold, or overwhelmed, perhaps you should consider a more cosy, more intimate wedding celebration. If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding in Melbourne, then here are some options for you:<\/span><\/p>\n

Big weddings often come from a cultural or family tradition, but these days more and more couples are getting married without so much reliance on their family. People who are a little older, and probably paying for their own wedding, may choose not to invite all of their parents\u2019 friends, work colleagues and second cousins that you haven\u2019t even met.<\/span><\/p>\n

Intimate weddings can be wonderful; the style, quality and glamour of a big celebration are all there, but with less stress, fewer people to please and less of a bill to pay at the end of it all. And the smaller they are, the more personal and unique they can be, with lots of ways you can add little touches and make the day all about you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 10 suggestions for intimate weddings in Melbourne:<\/h2>\n
