Elopements can be spontaneous, intimate, adventurous and literally last minute
Don’t we all agree that after all it is all about love?
Some of us dream of a big wedding. Including a long list of guests, reception and dances, a big celebration, cake, carefully selected food, and a dream wedding venue.
However some of us only want a romantic moment of vows exchange with their loved one.
Does it stress you to think of high cost of a big wedding, planning, or just walking down the aisle in front of many guests? Then maybe an intimate elopement is right for you. Eloping is becoming more and more popular, and a destination elopement can be also your honeymoon! And best part is, it can be not only cheaper and maybe even more romantic but also planned at last minute! And hey! You don’t have to sacrifice some wedding traditions you always wanted to have. Cut a cake! Have your first dance! Invite your best friends! Personalize it as you wish and make it all about the two of you. It is YOUR wedding day!
