What is an Elopement?

 
 
 

When I say the world elopement, most people think of neon lights and a little chapel in Las Vegas. In fact, elopements are almost a dirty word in the wedding industry. 

But finally, the industry is getting shook.

Elopements do not equate to a shameful wedding done in secrecy. Eloping is not a letdown.

So, what is an elopement exactly? I’m glad you asked.

 
 

elopement meaning

My definition of an elopement = a wedding that means something to you.

No matter what that looks like.

For every couple, the word elopement will mean something different.

When you strip away all the stuff, traditions, and expectations from the word wedding - you land on elopements.

What would make your wedding day special for the two of you?

That is how you define elopement..

 

why couples elope

Weddings have a tendency to snowball out of control during the planning process.

All of a sudden your wedding doesn’t even feel like you anymore.

Your wedding shouldn’t be about pleasing your parents.

The superficial reasons for eloping are glaringly obvious. Avoid family drama.

Ditch the giant to-do checklist and say goodbye to that never-ending seating chart.

 

reasons to elope

But the reasons to elope go so much deeper than that.

Eloping means you choose you.

You decided that your day will uniquely reflect you two as a couple.

I want to empower you to do what you want on your wedding day.

What is pulling you towards the idea of eloping?
