Micro Wedding Brides & DIY Planners for CNN Economic Trends Story

Calling all thrifty brides! Hi! My name is Elisabeth Buchwald and I'm a reporter with CNN (also 2026 bride!). I've noticed what appears to me like an uptick in people having micro weddings, DIYing just about everything (it's seriously impressive!) and taking what some might consider a minimoon as a real honeymoon. If any of that applies to you, I'd love to chat for a story I'm working on. I can be reached via DM or email [email redacted].
