Modern Day Elopement

Couples elope for many different reasons – some are looking to skip the traditional ceremonies and avoid having to deal with the stress and drama or family dynamics that are often involved in planning a traditional wedding. Some are simply looking for something more private and intimate, and others are just spontaneous by nature, always looking for an unconventional adventure, or perhaps trying to save money for a new life together.

Eloping doesn’t mean you have to give up traditions – it simply means rejecting anything you don’t like. Just because you’re eloping doesn’t mean that the day isn’t special – it’s still your wedding and there is reason to be excited and celebrate. You can still have the romantic ceremony, the dress, the bouquet, the photographer, and the exotic destination with your nearest and dearest (if you choose them to take part). It’s all about making the day just how you and your partner want it to be.

There is something magical and freeing in creating your own perfect wedding day, just like you’ve always dreamed. 

Another myth is that elopements are rushed, last-minute events, and are often symbolised as a romantic way of ‘living on the edge’. The fact of the matter is that they don’t have to be! Just running away to make it official isn’t enough – you will need some basic planning, while some elopements can actually take months of planning and are often not a last-minute thing. Having said that, you can still definitely plan a spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment elopement that could be just as special. But having an intimate, or a last minute wedding doesn’t mean you’re completely on your own – we can help you plan your special day and take the stress off, making it an experience you’ll never forget.
