Having such a long career in this field, it has made me experience the wave of change in the display of love. Elopement weddings have become renowned and it fills me with joy that I am able to talk about this personal style of marriage.
What Are Elopement Weddings?
Elopement weddings are the ceremonies that involve only the couple and a few of their dear but often do not involve larger groups of guests. These weddings frequently take place around nature and feature the couple's story more than any other thing.
The Appeal of Elopements
I have seen a variety of reasons why couples go for elopement weddings:
- Intimacy: Elopements are the time when couples can only think of each other and nothing else.
- Economy: They usually come at a lower price than the larger events do.
- Freedom: They are willing the chance to find new and unusual locations and change the character of their ceremonies.
- Plan-less: Elopements are generally of lower complexity and fewer logistics to deal with.
Planning Your Elopement Wedding
If you are in the process of thinking about this idea the following are the stages you need to go through:
- Choose your venue: Let it be in one which is so sentimental or so beautiful that it speaks to your personality as a couple.
- Choose your guests: Determine whether there will be any other relatives and family members present or only the closest friends.
- Book a photographer: Capture moments that make personal meaning and share them with your loved ones later.
- Decide with your attire: Opt for the clothes that are suitable for your place and the one you like.
- Set up an officiant: Make sure that your marriage gets to go through the necessary steps of getting a legally binding marriage.

I always tell them that the only way to make their elopement an everlasting memory to add those personal features to it. Some such examples are:
- Writing heartfelt and sincere vows to each other
- Observing meaningful customs and rituals in the ceremony
- Picking a place that has symbolic value
- Organizing a little party at home after the service

Also as a professional in the wedding industry, I have observed how these celebrations can be of equal significance and magnificence as the traditional ones.
