Elopements are no longer taboo

When you think of the word elopement, what comes to mind? A wedding ceremony conducted without the family’s knowledge? A hurried flight to Vegas to tie the knot without giving it much thought? This used to be the case but the definition has since changed. Elopements are no longer taboo. Eloping is an intimately personal choice that is all about displaying who you are as a couple.

Elopements bring the focus to your relationship

Elopements take away the societal pressure to have a wedding with all the frills that don’t quite make sense to you. Having a big wedding is the traditional thing to do, but so many people don’t realize they have a choice during wedding planning. If a big wedding is your vibe, that’s totally fine! We’re here to educate the people who aren’t aware there’s an option B.

Elopements aren’t rushed ceremonies

Elopement experiences can be anywhere from 8-12 hours, or even span two days. Imagine what would make the greatest day of your life, and then doing those things on your wedding day is what makes eloping so amazing. What makes you two come alive? Is it an 8 mile hike to a mountain summit? Exchanging vows in a slot canyon? On a hot air balloon? Snorkeling? Road tripping? On sand dunes? Watching the Northern Lights? Taking a helicopter ride to a glacier? Skydiving? Enjoying a meal cooked by a private chef? On safari? Whatever you have in mind for your elopement is how you should do it. There’s no right or wrong way to elope. All that matters is that it feels authentic to the two of you as a couple.

Elopements are intentional

Elopements are taking the bold leap to create a day so intentionally you that none of the other stuff matters. Forget monogrammed napkins, forget favors that people are going to throw away, forget the 600 pounds of waste that a traditional wedding creates. Elopements are for people who truly value experiences over things. Elopements put the focus solely on your relationship. The day is truly about you as a couple, rather than feeling anxiety about being the center of attention.
