Plan your elopement like you’d plan your honeymoon!
Elopements aren’t a spur of the moment, rush down to the courthouse kind of thing, anymore. An elopement is as much your WEDDING DAY as a traditional style wedding is! Don’t let anyone tell you any different!
Top 5 Mistakes Couples Make When Planning Their Elopement
For your elopement, you could…
explore a place you’ve never been before. Maybe you’ve had Estes Park, CO or Joshua Tree National Park on your travel bucket list, but you’ve never been there before. Why not go there for the first time ever as a couple for your adventurous wedding?! Talk about a way to make an incredible memory!!
go somewhere meaningful. What if the first time that you two ever took a vacation together, you went to Gatlinburg, and the Smoky Mountains? It still brings a smile to your face when you think about your time together, and how the whole time, you were thinking, “OMG, THIS is the one. I’ve found my person.”
find a place with romantic views. I’m sure if you look on your Pinterest board, or back through your screenshots, you have a picture saved of that one place that you can picture being at complete peace. Nothing but you, the love of your life, and those killer views. Did you know that you can get married in a National Park?
get married at a secluded Airbnb. How easy and cozy would that be? Imagine waking up on your wedding day in a beautiful cabin, getting ready, stepping outside to say your vows with just the sounds of nature. It could be anywhere, Kentucky…Tennessee…Utah… See what I mean? Just start DREAMING.
hike to a gorgeous waterfall. I happen to have hiked to quite a waterfalls in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois that would make the best private wedding ceremony location…
say your I do’s at the base of a mountain. Can you imagine what your wedding photos would look like with mountains in the background?? That would certainly be a memory that you’d cherish forever.
exchange vows on the beach. Can’t you just see yourself kissing your husband or wife for the first time as Mr. & Mrs. in front of a sunrise or sunset on a beach? And you don’t have to just choose an ocean beach. You could find a secluded little lake with a beach, or head to one of Michigan’s Great Lakes.
The list is endless! And that’s just a few location options. We haven’t even discussed all of the different activities that you can do for your elopement day. That’s what I love about elopements. It brings the focus back to where it should be. ON YOU. So wherever you choose to get married, make it about you and your partner.
After all, it is YOUR day!
