You’ve said “yes,” popped the champagne, and maybe even snapped a few celebratory photos. But now you might be asking yourself, “What’s next?”

So, you’re planning an adventure elopement! Whether you’re heading to the cliffs of Kauai, the wild landscapes of Iceland, or the dreamy fjords of Norway, you’re about to embark on a day filled with exploration, stunning scenery, and unforgettable memories! Packing for an adventure elopement requires a blend of practicality and style to make sure you’re ready for the elements while looking amazing. Here’s a guide on exactly what to bring for the ultimate elopement experience in the great outdoors.

Oh my, where to start! D and C’s destination wedding in Rosemary Beach along 30-A was a dream come true for these two who had known each other since middle school. Their story has taken them on many adventures, from attending a Sam Hunt concert in Chicago to exploring the vibrant landscapes of Mexico, but their wedding has been the most incredible one. All starting with D’s proposal to C.

Europe is innately stunning and brimming with things to experience—what if your stay could be an extension of that experience? Reflecting the history of where you are, providing a retreat from the world, and can make something simple– like waking up in the morning– a lifelong memory.  When you picture your elopement are you in a glass igloo in Finland or a private castle in Scotland? Or kicking back at a windmill in the Dutch countryside? OR orrr diving into the Mediterranean Sea first thing in the morning? If you can’t choose then don’t fret! I’ve compiled a list that has all of that and MORE. Stays where there’s plenty of room for your loved ones to come along on the adventure and out of this world locations where the scenery can’t be beat. 

Why elope in Greece? I think the better question is…why not? The remarkable history, mouth-water cuisine, breathtaking architecture, and the incredible Mediterranean climate. And the vibrant yet laid-back culture. AND  its drop-dead-gorgeous scenery—I mean the list is never ending. It’s the perfect place for couples that want an experience-filled adventure, but also for lovers simply craving a quiet, luxurious escape. Greece’s ethereal energy makes it a truly romantic elopement destination.
