2020 will go down in the books as the year that every bride-to-be realized just how resilient they are. With weddings canceled and the future put on hold, those who planned to walk down the aisle this year were forced to postpone the ceremony — or reimagine it all together. Enter the micro wedding. Though it's not a construct, a micro wedding fits seamlessly, thanks to the nature of its low-key, small size (read: distanced).

A micro wedding usually entails anywhere between twenty and fifty guests and the overall mood is much more casual. Naturally, the micro wedding outfit reflects this easy-breezy attitude and, as result, opens the doors to a wide array of styles. From puff-sleeve shoulders to sleek jumpsuits all the way to silky slip dresses — the options abound. Ahead, shop 26 unique outfits well-suited for a micro wedding.
