Pack your bags! Your ideal Elopement is... A Dreamy Destination
You’re a couple of adventurers that found each other by way of wanderlust — your conversation often finds its way to dreams of your next trip and memories of past forays...
Your bookshelf is full of travel guides and telling stories about places you’ve been is one of your favorite pastimes.
Whether exotic locales or barefoot on the world’s finest beaches you love the mystery that’s around the next bend.
As long as you’re in each other’s company you can face anything the wide world throws at you because wherever you’re together is home!
When it comes to weddings, you’ve whispered to each other that you would tie the knot your own way without the encumbrances of obligation. You march to the beat of your own drum which is why you’re perfect for each other.
Your style is more about alluring surroundings than pleasing everyone else's sensibilities.
“Hold my hand and we are halfway there, hold my hand and I’ll take you there.”
— Maria, West Side Story
3 Things to Consider When Planning Your Dream Elopement
1. Photographs
Even the simplest of affairs deserves to be documented and these days even your phone can capture beautiful shots — so there’s no excuses. Why not find an expert to take the job of pictures off your plate completely so you can focus on each other?
No matter where you go in the world, there are photographers to fit in every budget. Keep the magic of your marriage story alive for generations to come with an album you're proud to pull out.
When you elope, pictures are primary because chances are you won’t have loads of friend paparazzi snapping every angle. The best way to find a photographer is by word of mouth — ask around and then check out a few portfolios!
2. Choose a style true to you
This is your chance to really be yourself — just because it’s a small affair doesn’t mean you can’t go as over the top as you would if there were 1000 on the guest list.
The fun part of eloping is you’re less likely to follow norms or feel bogged down by obligation. You may still choose a traditional white dress and a black tux, but many a couple has donned hiking boots and said their vows on a trail in the woods, barefoot on a sandy beach, or a long black gown under the Eiffel Tower — it’s all up to you!
Having a planner at every step can help you suss out the things that are truly important to the two of you so you don’t forget even the tiniest details.
3. Nosh, nibbles, and cocktails
We’ve all gotta eat (and drink), RIGHT? It could be a taco truck on the beach or canapes on silver platters — have fun with a fusion of your favorite flavors.
Date nights are a great way to learn about your partner’s cultural background… plan a weekly night on the town together to nail down a handful of dishes you’d like to include on your menu.
Don’t forget some bubbles 🍾

Your ideal Elopement is... A Walk in the Woods.
You’re a couple of outdoorsy romantics that would happily trade your dress shoes in for trekking boots and hit the trails.
Of course you’ll want to spend one of the most memorable days of your life under a canopy of trees. Sharing the stage with the birds and the bees is exactly how you’d have it.
Even a woodsy elopement can feel daunting as you step into planning details. But, never fear — the right experienced sidekick (aka. planner) can make it all look easy and have you loving every minute leading up to your big day.
“I love your feet because they have wandered over the earth and through the wind and water until they brought you to me.”

Your ideal Elopement is...A Homey Hangout.
Who says you have to leave the house to say "I do?" When you love your nest as much as you do — fluff it and feather it for a cozy connection.
You can’t imagine celebrating each other with any intention other than unsullied authenticity.
With a little help you can have fun transforming your space, no matter how humble. Candlelight and wildflowers can turn an ordinary space into a picture worthy wedding chapel.
Now’s the time to follow your instincts. there’s no place like home is your motto so it’s perfectly fitting that you’d make your commitment on your own turf.
“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
