Weddings have changed a lot over the years. From fashion to food, there are lots of trends that have come and gone. However, when COVID-19 swept across the world, it changed the face of weddings, certainly in the short term. Legal restrictions were put in place that limited the number of guests allowed to attend any wedding service and brides had to think of inventive ways to make their big day special, even if it was a lot smaller than they anticipated.
The good news is that even as restrictions start to be relaxed, there are still lots of good reasons to opt for a smaller wedding, and in fact to embrace the idea.
When you think about your dream wedding, you might initially think of a huge, decadent occasion with hundreds of guests. However, the cost savings of hiring a small venue with fewer guests to feed, can have some big benefits.
One of the best bits of a wedding is planning the decor – and having a smaller set-up means you can invest more on luxurious decorations. Whether that’s having rooms filled with tropical flowers, choosing items for a 1920s theme, or styling an incredible photo booth for your guests to enjoy – there is a lot of enjoyment you can get from choosing your decor.
Once you’ve decided on a smaller wedding, it opens up a whole world of venues that wouldn’t be suitable for a big wedding, but can create a beautifully intimate setting for a small wedding with select guests. According to reports, small weddings might be the only option for some time to come. But the good news is that for the same budget, you can afford to spend more per head on a gorgeous venue, and decorate it beautifully to fit your theme.
Of course, there will always be elements of planning any wedding that will be stressful. Picking your guest list, dealing with dietary requirements – and generally sorting out the logistics of decorations, flowers and food at your venue.
The good news is that the smaller your wedding is, on the whole, it means that you should have less to worry about, and less to coordinate. Instead, you can focus on dressing the venue beautifully, to create a stunning small wedding that will thrill your guests. And on the day, you should have more time to spend with your guests rather than rushing around to say hello to everyone.
Having a small wedding means that you can really put a lot of thought and effort into all of the small touches for your wedding. Whether that’s gorgeous handmade invitations, special bar serving personalised cocktails or a handpicked wedding band playing a set of your favourite songs, you can embrace the perks of a small wedding by creating a truly unforgettable experience for your guests.
Social distancing and well-spaced events are likely to be a necessity for many months. Why not embrace outdoors, and choose some incredible decorations to help create a spectacular floral theme for your outdoor wedding?

Very helpful and gave great advice with a massive range of items to make our wedding special and look amazing
Mr Alex Fraser
Out of 10, Qube are an 11 on all fronts... :) Qube planned the entire wedding, which included 2 venues (synagogue followed by a 300-person dinner and dancing). Not only were the room designs and dressing for both venues sensational but the event went by seamlessly, with Debbie managing every element of the day to perfection. Couldn't have asked for a better day and, thanks to Debbie and Qube Events, even facebook friends who weren't there are stopping me to say how amazing it looked!
Mr Oz Shtrosberg
Debbie was great to work with, she really understood our vision and how to translate it into a beautiful wedding. The room was so beautiful it took our breath away and everyone commented on how gorgeous it was, it really captured the ambience we wanted for our special day.

Mrs Sharon Niven
Debbie from Qube was fantastic from start to finish, she understood exactly what we wanted and the finished venue looked even better than we imagined. Communication was great and everything was done very professionally, it really took a lot of the stress out of the day.
Mrs Helen Coleclough (Morris)
3 months later and I am still recommending Qube Events to anyone that will listen! Debbie and her team are amazing and provide a gold standard service. They are flexible and can tailor their services to fit your requirements and budget. Debbie had so many ideas to share, and always found solutions to problems we faced. She can help you realise your dream 'look' working to whatever your limitations are (budget/room constraints). The room looked so beautiful and she did so much more than I asked
Mrs Tanya Solomons
Very professional, good understanding of our vision and needs for the day. Worked tirelessly through the day. Managed difficult outside suppliers and made the day run smoothly from start to finish, successfully masking the failings of our caterers. Made the ceremony room look phenomenal. Left us with some fabulous photographs and memories. Thanks to Debbie for all her hard work!
Mrs Parina Goricha
Debbie and the team at Qube did the most amazing job dressing my venue and providing my bouquets. They were so helpful and it was no problem at all when i needed to make a few changes. The room was exactly how i had pictured it and had so many comments from the guests. Fantastic company
Mrs Jodie Hogarth (Alexander)
Debbie and her team did an outstanding job. We were overwhelmed with just how stunning the venue looked and the attention to detail was incredible.
Mrs Dalya Shtrosberg (Goldstone)
Qube events and the team were expeditional from start to finish and even with my crazy bride ideas and requests and constant worrying! I was totally reassured and every email, text and phone call was answered. The day itself was amazing and very guest commented on the styling of the venue and how perfect it looked.
Mrs Paula Watson (Megitt)
When I started to plan my wedding from America I knew the wedding stylist I worked with would have a lot on their hands. I was planning my whole wedding from America that was going to take place in Manchester. I knew the stylist and I had to be on the same page as me. They had to be patient with me and work weird times of the day to make up for the time difference. I got the perfect wedding and more from Qube. Debbie and Heather did an amazing job and they listened to what I wanted.
Mrs Sunjee Dootson (Lee)
Qube Events provided the decor for my 7 day wedding. Being their first Asian wedding they far exceeded my expectations. My guests, including the priest were dazzled by the mandap they had created for me. The team had gone through the effort of building a mock up of each part of my decor for all the events at their warehouse. Nothing was ever too much for them. They were even helping on other aspects of the wedding which were not their responsibility. All the decor was spot on!!
Mrs Tulsi Shah (Pindolia)
My room looked amazing -thank you :
Mrs Kimberley Morris
Qube events were the suppliers of my room decorations and centrepieces at my wedding, I first contacted Qube events months in advance from my wedding they were so kind, considerate and helpful. They always replied to my messages/emails promptly. They made sure everything was perfect for my wedding even down to the smallest of little details they thought of things even I couldn't of imagines their work is so amazing and I can't praise them enough for what they did for me! I couldn't fault them.
Mrs Emily Holmes (Wood)
Debbie at Qube events and her team were amazing. Made our day one to remember. Best events company ever. Have recommended Qube to everyone.
