Eloping isn’t just a decision—it’s an experience. It’s choosing to celebrate your love in a way that feels right, free from expectations or rules. As you dive into these tips, picture your own elopement unfolding. Where would you be? What would the air feel like? Who’s standing beside you?
As you read this, I want to spark that creative energy and help you imagine all the possibilities ahead. There’s no need for a detailed itinerary or a fully fleshed-out plan. In fact, I thrive working with couples who are still figuring it out but are excited by the idea of eloping. Together, we’ll bring your perfect day to life. One that reflects you.
Before we chose to elope, I spent so much time searching for reassurance. Reading stories. Comparing options. Wondering if we were being bold… or just impulsive. I knew what I didn’t want; a day that didn’t feel like us. But figuring out what I did want? That took a bit of back and forth (which is so normal, by the way).
This guide is everything I wish I had known before eloping—the stuff no one puts on Pinterest boards or curated checklists.
So if you’re sitting with that quiet little “what if we just eloped?” this is for you.
The beauty of eloping is that there are no rules—no seating charts, no pressure, and no mother-in-law hovering over you. Just you and your love, creating the day that’s truly yours. It’s a laid-back experience that allows you to slow down, breathe, and know you can take your celebration in any direction you choose. Get inspired, and don’t hesitate to reach out—even if you're still figuring it all out.
