Congratulations! You’ve officially eloped, and now comes the fun—but sometimes overwhelming—part: figuring out what to do next. This after-elopement checklist is your guide to post-elopement ideas, from sharing your news to preserving your memories in heirloom-quality ways. Whether you’re looking to host a celebration, announce your wedding, or create keepsakes that last a lifetime, we’ve got you covered.

When planning your elopement, one of the biggest questions couples ask is how to include family in elopement plans while still keeping the day intimate and personal.

C and K’s fall elopement at White Sands National Park was nothing short of epic. Imagine this: a quiet, serene day in the heart of Southern New Mexico, surrounded by endless white sand dunes and big, blue skies. The whole day had a laid-back yet magical vibe, with every moment unfolding perfectly.

W and L’s story is as sweet and exciting as their elopement day! Back in our freshman year of college at the University of Tennessee, L and I were in the same sorority and she needed a date for a party. I told her I had the perfect guy in mind—her, but in guy form (W and I went to elementary and high school together!). That match couldn’t have been more perfect because, eight years later, here we are celebrating their forever!

If you’re thinking about eloping in a beautiful place somewhere in the world you’ve undoubtedly come across the term “adventure elopement”. Despite being certain you want to do something out of the box for your wedding day, once again you’re being boxed in by this new term. Now you’re trying to navigate where you fall into the spectrum of outdoorsy-ness and getting lost in a sea of options. Enter ME. Your little beacon of light. Guiding you through the bullshit and confusion towards a day that is simply defined by: “doing-whatever-you-want-to-do elopement” (…I’ll work on a less wordy definition later)! 

On a beautifully overcast day in Seward, B and T’s Alaskan beach elopement was nothing short of enchanting! Nestled in cozy cabins right across the street from the shoreline, they got ready surrounded by tall trees. Then walked to the beach to exchange their vows with the majestic mountains standing tall across the water, a silent witness of their vows. What made their day even more special was the fact that they were talented florists from Utah who had lovingly crafted their own floral arrangements together. Their online meeting had blossomed into a deep connection that brought them to Alaska, and their elopement was a testament to their shared passion for flowers and each other. Against the serene backdrop of the Alaskan coast, B and T’s love story unfolded with a unique charm that perfectly matched the rugged beauty of their surroundings.
