Wedding planning can be extremely stressful. All of the little details that have to come together all at the same time for a perfect wedding day can be so time-consuming. But, I know of one sure-fire way to ensure that your big day is full of good vibes and good memories – ELOPE! Here are some fantastic reasons Why You Should Elope!
Here are >>5 Ways Eloping Takes the Stress out of Wedding Planning<<
Why You Should Elope
1. Your Day Becomes Completely About You and Your Significant Other
The thought of scrambling to appease your families’ thoughts and beliefs about what your wedding should be can be very tiresome. Eloping can help ensure that your day is focused on what’s truly
important – you and your fiance committing yourselves to each other, for LIFE. Doing what feels most authentic to your relationship is the most important part of your big day!
2. You Won’t Have to Spend Every Weekend and Lunch-Break Planning
Your Big Day
Traditional weddings require a lot of little details. This means meetings with your dessert vendor to pick out flavors, calls with your DJ to discuss your playlist, trips to your venue to discuss floor plans, tastings with your caterer, trips the florist to discuss flowers and bouquets, and many more (can you even believe that!?) details. Eloping helps dwindle down all of the unnecessary meetings which helps you reclaim your time!
3. You Don’t Need to Question Your Decisions
A lot of traditional wedding planning comes with questions. And a lot of the questions force you to take in the opinions of others. How will we track down our full guest lists’ addresses? Do we need to give our cousin a plus one because he recently entered a relationship? Will the crowd like what we’ve chosen for dinner? Will they think our playlist is great dance music? Will they like the people they’re seated next to at dinner?
Eloping eliminates the need to question your own decisions and eliminates the need to cater to other peoples’ needs. It helps provide the freedom to know what the only things that matter on your wedding day are the few details you’ve put into place, for yourself. No more caring what your great Aunt Becky is going to think of dinner!
4. You Can Put All Your Focus into the Few Wedding Details You Find Truly Important
Eloping allows you to put your focus onto the vendors that are most important to you. Have you always dreamt of getting married in a National Park with a dreamy skyline behind you? Then do it! Most wedding decisions really do boil down to your budget. Eloping really isn’t much different, but you can really focus on your priorities and what you value! You can put your money towards that dream dress or that awesome photographer you want to hire to capture your amazing day together whether it be local or at a gorgeous waterfall in Iceland!
Other details some couples choose to splurge on for their elopement? Ones I see often are their rings, their dress or tux, or their florals. The items you choose to splurge on are totally up to you, just make sure they’re the things you and your fiancé value most!

5. You Don’t Have to Worry About Being the Center of Attention | Why You Should Elope
A lot of people shudder at the thought of having all eyes on them. Some people spend their whole lives planning their dream wedding, while others die a little inside at the thought of knowing everybody will be watching their movement for a full day. Eloping dissolves this concern and allows you to soak in the attention of the one person you want the attention of the most, your fiancé.

So, when choosing a location consider a location that the two of you would love to spend more time exploring!
