HAVING AN INTIMATE WEDDING allows you to share your big day with the people you cherish most. A small wedding can still reflect your style, but can allow for a more personalized experience for both you and your guests.

ABOVE LEFT: Sara and Chad reveled in every moment of their intimate wedding. The couple used instant cameras to catch unscripted moments -- and make the best memories. MIDDLE: A laid-back do -- such as a loose bun and side-swept bangs -- lets you be yourself on your big day. RIGHT: Soft lighting, including lanterns and stringed twinkle lights, keeps things casual and low-key.
