Should You Elope Instead?

 

With today’s economic uncertainty, it is very common for engaged couples in South Florida and beyond to scratch their heads and wonder, “how are we going to pay for this wedding?” What if there was a way to have an amazing wedding without potentially breaking the bank? With eloping, there are endless possibilities.

Budget

Eloping could be a game changer for couples looking to get a bang for their buck. With traditional weddings, there are numerous vendors, guests, and other logistics to account for. Having to pay for plates, tables, catering, open bar, etc. adds up quickly. Let’s not even get started on floral designs.  When you elope, the rules are so different. All the money that was going to be allotted towards certain vendors is no longer the case. Now couples have more flexibility to put money towards what is important to them.

Let’s breakdown other potential savings on when you two decide to elope together:

  • Bridal Party Wedding Gifts
  • Minimal Decor Expenses
  • Reception Costs
  • Wedding Guest Hotel & Travel Accommodations

Now let’s breakdown the potential gains from eloping:

  • Less Stressful: Planning is now a breeze compared to planning a big traditional wedding since there are less people that you have to be in contact with. This also means less drama whether it be family, guests, or bridal party.
  • Heightened Intimacy: Eloping could heighten the intimacy of the wedding day and make couples feel more comfortable since it is basically just the two.
  • Flexibility: Choosing a wedding date just became easier since there are no wedding guests or bridal party to communicate with.
  • Focus On Couple: What is the wedding day about? Two people coming together as one. Eloping allows for the focus and attention to remain on the couple.
  • Adventure: Whether it’s having a destination elopement, hiring a personal chef, going on a helicopter ride, or other activities. The opportunities are endless.
  • Uniqueness: I love how elopements has its own flair. Couples could tell a memorable story different than a traditional wedding day.
  • Honeymoon: Transitioning from the wedding day to the Honeymoon is much easier and could also help save money and time.

Whether you are planning a destination elopement in South Florida or international I could help you capture those precious moments.
