Modern couples are increasingly choosing small wedding venues over large, pompous banquets. Atmospheric spaces, cozy decor, privacy, and the ability to completely focus on emotions — this is what makes the intimate wedding format so popular.
But there is a place where a small wedding venue turns into something more — into a living backdrop of ocean, sunset, and natural beauty.This is the Canary Islands, and PicnicCanary creates unique wedding picnics here that become the perfect alternative to small wedding venues.It's a format where nature itself becomes the interior, and we think through every detail just as carefully as in a traditional wedding venue: decor, table setting, style, color palette, mood, and even taste.
Why Small Wedding Venues Are Becoming Popular
In recent years, small weddings have ceased to be a "compromise option" and have turned into a trend.Couples are increasingly choosing a format where the main thing is love, not the number of guests.
Intimacy and Privacy
Small wedding venues allow for an atmosphere of closeness, where there is no unnecessary fuss, and where every emotion is felt more deeply.
Aesthetics and Style
Small spaces are easier to decorate, they look neater and more harmonious — any decor stands out more vividly on them.
Potential for Personalization
A small wedding is a celebration that can be created "for the couple," not according to a standard restaurant format.
But even small wedding venues have limitations:— a small space,— limited decoration options,— dependence on the existing look of the venue,— absence of natural elements that create atmosphere on their own.
This is precisely why many couples choose the wedding picnic format — beautiful, light, private, and fully adapted to their style.
PicnicCanary Wedding Picnics as an Alternative to Small Wedding Venues
If you were looking for small wedding venues but want something more airy, natural, and unique — a wedding picnic in the Canaries will be the perfect solution.It provides the same as a small wedding venue, and even more:• Privacy,• Intimacy,• Aesthetic decor,• The possibility to organize a wedding for two or a small group,• A stunning backdrop that no interior can compare to.
Nature as the Perfect "Wedding Venue"
Instead of walls — the ocean.Instead of a ceiling — the sky.Instead of artificial lighting — the sunset, creating a soft golden glow.
Luxurious Decor, Meticulously Planned
We decorate each wedding site by hand:pillows, blankets, tables, flowers, candles, garlands, tableware, fabrics, table setting, floristry — everything is at the level of boutique event design.
A Celebration for Two or a Small Company
Just like small wedding venues, wedding picnics are suitable for:• A wedding for two,• A small circle of guests,• An intimate ceremony,• Vow exchange,• A mini-banquet in picnic format.
How a Wedding Picnic Replaces a Small Wedding Venue
To make it easier for couples to understand the comparison, we create a wedding day structure similar to that in small wedding venues, but with enhanced aesthetics and atmosphere.
Ceremony
An arch, live flowers, small decor, or a symbolic area — everything is possible on the beach or at a viewpoint.
Banquet Area
A set-up picnic replaces a table in a small wedding venue, but looks lighter, more airy, and more aesthetic.
Photo Session
This is what makes a picnic stronger than any venue.Live shots by the ocean, in the sunset light, or against volcanic cliffs — these are photos that easily become the covers of wedding albums.
Wedding Picnic Options — Like Small Wedding Venues, But in Nature
We create several formats so that every couple can choose what reflects their style.
Classic Wedding Picnic
Ideal for a mini-wedding or vow exchange.Table setting, decor, light dinner, wine, soft lighting — everything is stylish and elegant.
Boho Wedding Style Picnic
This option replaces small wedding venues in the boho style.It uses natural materials, warm palette, dried flowers, macrame, garlands, and woven elements.
Luxury Picnic
For those looking for a more luxurious alternative to a small wedding venue:premium table setting, silk fabrics, large floral compositions, signature menu.
Sunset Wedding Picnic
The most popular format.The sunset makes the atmosphere maximally romantic, and every minute — photogenic.
