How To Make The Most Out Of Your Elopement — Tips From The Pro
Let go of the need to please everyone
No matter how your wedding day turns out, you are not going to please everyone. Focus your energy instead of becoming familiar with what YOU want your union to be. Big weddings are not for everyone, and let's be real (most of the time a big wedding is for the guests, not the couple.) The people that genuinely love and care about you will be happy with whatever you decide.
Ditch the traditions that don't serve you and your partner
Don’t want to wear white? Don’t want a priest to lead your ceremony? Would you rather elope in the mountains, on a cliffside in your hiking boots?
Tradition is great for some people and couples, but don’t feel like you HAVE to do something for the sake of tradition. If you are happier eating from a taco truck than a plated dinner, DO IT! Don’t let classic wedding archetypes control how the best day of your life should go.
Smaller doesn't mean less special
You don't need a grand soirée and location to show how special your love is. Keeping the party and place more laid back and intimate, rather than managing a bunch of wedding vendors, can give you an opportunity to spend more quality time with the family and loved ones that are there (or just between you two).
