More and more brides are discovering that their dream wedding doesn’t need to be big, stressful, or expensive. Instead, elopements, intimate ceremonies, and weekday weddings are becoming a beautiful alternative.
As a Perth makeup artist specialising in bridal and elopement makeup, I’ve seen how magical these smaller celebrations can be. Whether you’re getting married at the Perth Marriage Office with a celebratory lunch in the city or saying your vows barefoot on the beach, here’s why choosing a smaller wedding could be the best decision you make.
Intimate Weddings, Stress-Free Mornings
Elopements and weekday weddings often mean fewer guests, fewer timelines to juggle, and more space to focus on you. Trust me, I've seen lots of stressful wedding mornings in my time! Not to mention, the very early getting ready time.
For brides, this creates a calm, meaningful morning where you can truly enjoy your bridal prep. With professional bridal makeup for elopements and small weddings in Perth, your look will last all day, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Budget-Friendly Without Sacrificing Style
Traditional weddings can quickly become expensive, but smaller ceremonies let you prioritise what matters most.
Instead of spending thousands on a large reception, you can invest in:
An amazing honeymoon and travel where you've always wanted to go
A professional photographer who captures every detail
A Perth bridal makeup artist to ensure your look is flawless for both intimate moments and timeless photos
And if you choose a weekday wedding in Perth, many venues and vendors (including makeup artists!) are more available and sometimes even more affordable.
Makeup That Complements Your Day
Smaller weddings often call for softer, timeless looks. Many of my elopement brides in Perth love natural bridal makeup – glowing skin, defined eyes, and a look that enhances rather than heavy glam. And the natural look is definitely my style!
But whether you want an effortless glow or something more glamorous, your makeup can be tailored to your unique style. With fewer time pressures on a smaller day, there’s more space for a personalised experience.
Final Thoughts: Why Elopements Work
At the heart of every wedding is love – and that doesn’t depend on guest numbers. A smaller, more intimate wedding allows you to focus on your partner, your story, and the little details that truly matter. If you’re planning a Perth elopement or weekday wedding, I’d love to be part of your day.
