The Ultimate Guide To Planning Your Local Elopement

New Philadelphia Ohio Wedding Photography

Recently engaged and ready to do the dang thing? Planning an elopement is easier than you think! With our tips, you’ll be able to plan your perfect elopement in no time.

Eloping is a romantic way for couples to say get married without the stress of planning a wedding. It’s also a great way to celebrate your wedding day a little selfishly, and plan a day that is perfect for you and your soon-to-be spouse.

Start with a Budget.
Many times, a budget is the reason couples choose to elope instead. Or rather, they’d like to put the wedding money toward something else and they value certain things over others, so they elope! You should start planning your elopement by setting up a budget. This will help you determine how much money you need to spend on your wedding day.

Find a Date That Works For You.
Once you’ve determined what you want to do with your wedding, you’ll need to find a date that works for both of you. It’s important to choose a date that works well for your schedule as well as your partner’s. One of the best parts of eloping is that you can get married on a Wednesday night or Tuesday morning and no one will question it.

Choose a Destination.
If you’re planning an elopement, you might consider choosing a destination where you can spend some quality time together before and after the big day. You can also use this opportunity to explore new places together. If you are eloping locally, consider renting a cute airbnb close to home.

Book Your Hotel Room.
Once you’ve decided on a location, book your hotel room or BNB like this one as soon as possible. This will ensure that you have enough time to make any last minute arrangements and then you can start planning your wedding day activities. Perhaps you will choose to have a quiet breakfast together or go to the farmer’s market for fresh flowers that will soon make your bouquet.

Pick a Wedding Dress.
If you’re planning a destination wedding, you might not need to worry too much about picking out a dress but this might be a detail worth investing in if you aren’t spending a lot of money on everything else. After you’ve chosen the gown, make sure you’ve chosen what your partner will wear too.

Find Your Vendors.

This is where you will save the most money. You don’t need a wedding venue and you likely won’t need a DJ because, well, there is no after party. But you will probably want to hire someone to photograph the moment, and possibly even a florist to make you a bouquet. Looking for an Ohio Wedding Photographer who specializes in elopements?
