Hey there, lovebirds! Are you thinking about tying the knot this year or next? Well, hold on to your bouquets because we’ve got something exciting to propose – eloping in 2024! In this blog post, we’re going to spill the beans on 10 amazing reasons why eloping might just be the perfect way to start your lifelong adventure together. From breaking traditions to embracing intimate moments, let’s dive into why eloping is the ultimate blend of romance and adventure.
1. Intimate Moments
🥂 Picture this: just you two, surrounded by nature’s beauty or in a cozy spot that speaks to your hearts. Eloping lets you share those once-in-a-lifetime vows in an intimate setting, focusing solely on your love story without the distractions. Being able to create meaningful intimacy on your wedding day is going to leave you with movie-like memories. It’s ok, in fact, more than ok to prioritize yourselves and be private and intimate on your wedding day.
Your day can be filled with these little pockets of intimacy. You can spend the morning together getting ready and having coffee or you can take a walk through the woods hand in hand. You can sit for hours if you want to just listening to the river passing by, or the birds chirping. Whatever you love, you can build that into your day in an intimate way.
2. Escape Tradition:
🏰 Tired of the whole big wedding hoopla? Eloping lets you ditch the traditional script and craft your own unique love story. No stress over seating arrangements or Aunt Mildred’s cake preferences!
It’s so fun to let go of all the rules and do things your way. I’ve built my whole brand on just doing shit my way! It’s really freeing to opt out o all the icky traditions and instead do things in a way that bring you joy and excitement. Your wedding day does not have to be filled with monogramed napkins, and garter tosses.
3. Stress-Free Planning:
✍️ Say goodbye to months of wedding planning madness! Eloping is all about simplicity. Imagine planning the perfect day without needing an Excel spreadsheet. Sounds dreamy, right?
The best part is; lots of photographers, like myself, help couples just like you plan epic elopements! The best part of having an awesome photographer like me is that I’ve planned a few of these things, and so, planning them comes easy to me. Walking you through the process and helping you each step of the way is just another added perk!
4. Adventurous Vibes:
🌍 Calling all thrill-seekers! Eloping can take you anywhere you desire. From mountaintop vows to beachside “I do’s,” your love story becomes an unforgettable adventure.
The level of adventure you build into your day is totally up to you! Avid hikers? Planning a day with a nice 3+ mile hike with a killer view at the end might be right up your alley. Enjoy shorter hikes with massive payoff? Hikes like this exist all over the country!
No matter what adventure means to you, you can have it! The possibilities are endless, and let’s be real…Canoeing on your wedding day sounds way better than fake smiling at 100s of people for 6 hours!
5. Budget-Friendly Bliss:
💰 Weddings can be expensive, but eloping doesn’t break the bank. You can invest your resources in experiences rather than table centerpieces, creating memories that last a lifetime.
With the average American wedding pushing upwards of $30k-$40k, most couples are stunned by the absolute knock-out of a day you can plan with just $10k-$20k. Not only can you plan a wedding day that feels like you, but you can roll in that amazing honeymoon experience right into the over all budget!
6. Focus on Each Other:
💑 Eloping lets you focus entirely on what truly matters – your love for each other. No distractions, no obligations. Just you, your partner, and your heartfelt promises.
This kind of wraps back into that intimacy part, but being able to just hang out with your best friend all day on your wedding day is way better than having to entertain. Big weddings are so focused on the guest experience that the bride and groom often don’t have the best day. I mean, I’ve heard stories from couples who felt like they barely even saw each other on their wedding day. Others who didn’t have time to eat dinner. It’s wild. Eloping is better!
7. Whimsical Elopement Photos:
📸 Capture your love in the most authentic way. Eloping provides an opportunity for stunning, candid photos that truly reflect your personalities and the love you share.
Not only do you have ample time for those hero shots, you don’t have to spend your whole day posing. You get to have real experiences and the photos you look back on will remind you of those moments, not being posed by your photographer all day.
8. Flexible Guest List:
💌 Worried about hurting feelings with your guest list decisions? Eloping allows for a more flexible approach – invite a select few or keep it just the two of you. Your day, your choice. Honestly, not feeling obligated to invite a crap ton of people to the most important day of your lives feels pretty good.
Having the freedom to experience the day with the people truly closest to you allows you to be yourself, and share the moment. Or the freedom to not! And both options are valid.
9. Seize the Moment:
⏳ Life is short, and love is precious. Eloping is about seizing the moment and choosing love every single day. Why wait when you can start your forever now?
The freedom elopement brings to choosing your wedding day is pretty cool. You don’t have to be bound by a list of available dates given to you by a venue and you can get married on a weekday to avoid crowds. You can even work with your photographers schedule to ensure you get the photographer you really want.
And you don’t have to plan 12-18 months in advance! You can literally plan an elopement in as little as 3-6 weeks! Why wait!
10. Unforgettable Start:
🎉 2024 is a year of new beginnings, and what better way to kick it off than with your own unique love story? Elopements set the tone for a lifetime of unforgettable adventures together. Creating a day that is authentically you, and speaks to who you are is going to give you the greatest memories. You will look back on your wedding day filled with giggles, laughs, views, and experiences and I promise you wont regret it!
That’s it:
So there you have it, lovebirds! Eloping in 2024 isn’t just a trend; it’s a chance to create a magical, intimate, and unforgettable start to your journey as a married couple. Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of adventure or the simplicity of an intimate ceremony, eloping is a beautiful way to say “I do” on your own terms. Cheers to love, adventure, and a 2024 filled with endless possibilities! 🥂💍
