Wedding for two - ideas for an intimate dream wedding 💍
Sometimes less is simply more. If you want a wedding without stress, time pressure or a huge guest list, a wedding for two is just the thing. Just the two of you, in a place that really touches you - whether at home or abroad. In this article, you'll find inspiring ideas, special locations and creative ways to make getting married as a couple an unforgettable experience.
Why getting married as a couple is so special
A wedding for two means: 100% focus on you. No planning stress, no deadline pressure, no compromises. You decide what makes you happy - whether romantic, adventurous or very simple. This freedom allows you to truly personalize the ceremony and celebrate your love in your very own way.
The most beautiful locations for your wedding for two
Because it's just the two of you, almost anywhere in the world is possible - without compromise. Here are some particularly popular ideas for an intimate wedding for two:
- New York City - A wedding ceremony high above the rooftops of the city or even in a helicopter over Manhattan is an experience you'll never forget. A photographer can accompany your ceremony in the middle of the skyline - a modern fairytale in the air.
- The Alps - Rustic mountain hut, snowy peaks, open fire. A winter wedding for two in Switzerland or Austria is pure romance.
- Italy - Florence, Como or Tuscany offer historic backdrops, good food and Mediterranean flair.
- Germany - You want to stay close? Then Lake Tegernsee, the Lüneburg Heath or Saxon Switzerland are fantastic places to get married as a couple.
- By the sea - A small ceremony at sunset on Sylt, Rügen or Mallorca is simple, stylish and emotional.
Extraordinary ideas & rituals
It can also be emotional and creative for two. Here are three special rituals for your intimate wedding:
- Sand painting ceremony: an artist tells your love story live in sand - accompanied by music. The finished video will become an eternal memory of your moment.
- Love time capsule: Place letters, photos or small memories in a box and open it on your 5th wedding anniversary.
- Starry sky wedding: Get married at night under thousands of twinkling stars - on a mountain top or on the beach by candlelight.
