Why Should I Choose to Elope?

With the current state of the world in due to Coronavirus, many couples are rethinking their marriage plans. In case you needed another reason why eloping is the best way to wed, here are 8!

1. Save Time!

   Planning a Wedding takes so much time, starting with Save the Dates, Initial Vendor Research and so many millions of hours spent on Pinterest. The normal process of planning a full scale wedding can take years!
   With an elopement, you can schedule your day as little as three weeks prior. This is especially helpful for people who spent all of the months and months planning a wedding that was cancelled due to Coronavirus — don’t put yourself through that again! Elope so you can get married in the most stress-free, gorgeous way possible and then throw a big party when this all blows over.

2. Save Money

Who doesn’t want to save money in this unusual time? It’s no secret that big weddings cost big bucks. When you elope, you save so much money by limiting the guest count that you’re able to put that money towards something else — like epic honeymoons! Or even just put it aside as savings during the uncertainties of Covid-19.

3. Less People = Less Opinions

It’s your wedding day, your opinion is the only one that matters! With traditional weddings, it is easy to get out voted by everyone else invited and soon your wedding day is catered completely towards your guests. While it is very thoughtful to keep everyone in mind, you end up losing out on what is most important to you! By keeping your elopement intimate, you get to call all of the shots!

4. You Can Elope Somewhere Epic!

Have you always dreamed of having your ceremony somewhere that is out-of-this-world pretty but it’s too impractical to bring your guests there? Why sacrifice your dream location?? When you elope, you can get married at the spot of your dreams!

5. Avoid the Stress

Planning a wedding is STRESSFUL. There are endless choices for tiny details that actually aren’t important to you. Let me tell you, Pinterest is a blessing and a curse. So many brides get overwhelmed looking through Pinterest’s endless options for items they never even wanted. Don’t get overwhelmed by things that don’t matter! When you elope, your options are curated to only the top options and the most important elements.

6. Make Your Day all About You

It’s YOUR wedding day, naturally it should be about YOU. No matter what people say, it is hard to actually focus on the love that you and your spouse share on your wedding day when you are caught up in the endless minutiae of a full scale event. When you elope, you are not distracted by pleasing your great-aunt’s neighbor’s girlfriend who decided to show up.

7. Get Incredible Photos

Because elopement budgets can put so much more towards the photography and venue, you get the most EPIC photos of your ceremony. Let’s be honest, this is all you really want out of your wedding. It’s okay to brag to your friends about your beautiful wedding day.

8. Enjoy Your Day More

Since you don’t have to worry about the endless details, over saturated guest count, or anything else, you can be fully present and happy on your wedding day! You get to relax knowing that this is all about you and you don’t have to get stage fright from taking the most important step in front of hundreds.
