7 Tips for Elopement Weddings for Two

Weddings are usually associated with a big party, dancing and tears of happiness in the eyes of our closest people. However, wedding trends also change. Couples often choose an elopement-style wedding, which means an intimate ceremony for two.

For many, it is an opportunity to escape from long planning, high spending, or traditions. It is an opportunity to be original and keep this day as a heartfelt and lovely memory for yourselves.

Here are 7 great tips to make your special day unforgettable.

1. Choose the perfect wedding ceremony venue

As the wedding ceremony will take place in an intimate atmosphere and there is no need to worry about how many guests can be accommodated in a particular venue, the possibilities are limitless. Such an important day deserves a wonderful background. Any corner of nature, a luxurious room, or even a hot air balloon can serve as a wedding ceremony venue. A beautiful location also means beautiful wedding photos.

2. Set your own rules

Many wedding traditions are decades old and no longer fit into today's world. Follow the traditions that are meaningful to you, but do not be afraid to give up everything else. This is the time to be original and set your own rules for your special day.

3. Capture the moment

A wedding ceremony is often over so quickly, like a single moment, so capturing it in beautiful photos or even videos is advisable. Return to memories by leafing through a photo album after a while. Choose the photographer who best reflects you as a couple, capturing the emotions and the magic of the moment. Be sure to research the photographers’ portfolios before entering into a contract. This is one of the things where it's worth spending more finances.

4. Extend the celebration

The absence of guests is certainly not a reason not to celebrate a new chapter in the couple's life. An intimate ceremony for two is as important as a celebration with a hundred guests. Worth making this day even more special with excellent champagne and a delicious meal in an intimate atmosphere. Think of the possibility of setting a table in the shade of a flowering apple, a luxurious mansion, or a hidden corner of the beach. Be sure not to forget about dessert.

5. Continue the day unusually

The wedding day is unique, so after a delicious meal and wedding cake for just the two of you, think about continuing this day with an unusual activity. It can be riding horses, a yacht trip, or any activity that is unique to you, even an extreme. Your day, your rules!

6. Start a honeymoon

Plan several days or even a week after the wedding for just the two of you and turn them into a holiday or a mini honeymoon. This occasion deserves special circumstances. Rent an apartment by the sea, a luxurious hotel room with a wonderful view, or a forest cottage with a jacuzzi.

7. Invest in the details

Since an elopement wedding also means financial savings, it is an opportunity to pay attention to details that are sometimes forgotten in larger weddings. Drink the most exquisite champagne, enjoy yourself, rest and take delight in a lux class service.
