So, if you are considering an elopement over a traditional wedding then read on!
Top 10 Reasons to elope
Authenticity
If big weddings aren’t for you, then eloping is the way to go! Not everyone want’s a big production with a ton of attention on them, and thats okay! You can read your vows completely in private and make your special day more intentional and intimate.
Less stress and anxiety
Obviously, wedding planning can be HARD and stressful. And why would you want the most important day of your life to cause you anxiety?! With an elopement, there is way less planning and is more go with the flow for a calmer experience.
make it unique
More times than not, most weddings that we go to are usually the same overall. With an elopement, you can make it as unique as you want! You’re able to go to amazing places and do unique things and steer clear of the traditions at a usual wedding.
Save money
Weddings are SO expensive now a days! Spending money on your elopement goes a lot further than spending all that money on a table setting for 100+ people. You’re able to splurge on things that will make your day UNIQUE and special while still saving money!
freedom
When eloping, you’re able to choose exactly where you get married and everything else that is involved. With a wedding, you are very limited with venues especially if you get married during peak wedding season. You also get more say in your food and drinks. Wedding venues usually require you to purchase the food/bar through them. With an elopement, you have the freedom to hire a private chef to make you a private meal at your airbnb, have a catered picnic, or make your own food/desserts. You truly have the freedom to include everything you want and nothing you don’t!
More sustainable
Weddings are WASTEFUL! From your invitations to your wedding favors that will probably end up in the trash anyways. Elopements also mean that you will not need to have all of your hundreds of family and friends fly in and out for your wedding! Elopements are so much better for our planet and your pocket!
Go on an adventure
One of my favorite reasons!! You are able to do whatever you want, wherever you want! With an elopement, you can go anywhere in the world! And while you’re at it, you can combine your elopement and honeymoon for an epic adventure! Choosing to have an adventure elopement really is the best of both worlds!!
the photos!!
Elopement photos are ONE OF A KIND! Seriously, so gorgeous and magical. You can elope anywhere and have the most amazing photos. Everything from the mountains to the beach and forest will create a stunning backdrop that you will be able to cherish forever. And the best part is that your photos will turn out spectacular and so unique to YOUR love and your day meaning they will never look like someone else’s wedding day.
