highlighting your badass-ry
So eloping has been on your mind..
maybe covid has screwed you over too many times, you can’t live without an adventure or you’re craving something more intimate. maybe the more you try to plan your big wedding day the more overwhelmed you get and the more it feels like you’re planning a day for everyone but you.
whatever the case may be, I’m here to tell you elopements and small weddings are prime for those who want to have a smaller yet intensely meaningful experience.
maybe you’re not totally sure what eloping looks like or where to start. I’m here to help.
What is eloping?
What does it mean to elope?
My definition : a moment in time dedicated to two people committing their love to each other for forever that is solely centered around you as a couple where this day (or chunk of time) is celebrated exactly the way that is unique to you. Without the worry of pressure from anyone else. Often times doing activities that have helped mold the relationship and that they already enjoy together or doing something that is 100% new for this fresh journey into marriage.
Eloping is about whatever the heck you want to do from the time you wake up from the time you confess your love to FOREVER from the time you go to sleep on your wedding day. It’s the day you get to look back on and celebrate every year as your anniversary. It’s a celebration + devotion to your love.
Soooo a day completely centered around us? Yes! Hear me out..
A day where you soak in each other so much. A day that you get to turn into a memory that gets passed down as the story of the day you got to marry the love of your life. Where you had sooo much fun, it was carefree, it was a time where you broke out of tradition. You did the things that truly mattered to your relationship.
Tossing the norms
Maybe having eyes on you from hundreds of wedding guests for 8 hours makes you exhausted with just the thought.
It is common among people to think of ‘eloping’ as running away to Vegas to get married in an Elvis Presley chapel or being flat out selfish. When in reality the day you get married is about what you wanna do to celebrate this special time in your relationship.
Putting everyone else’s needs before your own isn’t selfless, its abandoning ones self. - Nicole LePera
Just because everyone you know has had a big wedding doesn’t neccessarily mean it’s for you.
✔️ just the two of you, or consider including your closest family + people + pets
✔️ intentional elopement day tailored by the activities that best encapsulate your love
✔️ elopement on a boat surrounded by breathtaking scenery + BLUE WATER, in the tropical jungle, or riding horseback on the beach off into the sunset. this is about you.
after all - elopements are still weddings. this will still be one of the best days of your lives, the day you look back on as the day you married your person
