Why you should Elope

In the day and age of Covid, while it may feel bleak to plan a wedding not knowing if family will be able to make it and making sure the people who do come can have fun safely. Additional pandemic stress on top of the standard wedding planning stress can make it feel like your wedding day is for everyone but you.

If you’re looking for a way to skip the stress, and have a truly authentic wedding day all about your love and the beginning of your lives together, we suggest eloping. Now while you may think an elopement is just a courthouse ceremony and an hour or two of portraits, an elopement can be whatever you want.

Here at One Eleven we define an elopement as an intimate ceremony focused solely on the couple’s love. An elopement is to celebrate the couple and tell the first chapter of their story together. No stressful timelines, no standards, just two people making the decision to choose each other forever. It’s about creating and capturing an experience the lovers will remember forever. It your wedding day after all.

You deserve to have your perfect day together as a couple, whether you want to go on an exciting hike through the redwoods in California or spend your day as royalty in a luxurious castle in Texas. Your wedding day should be the perfect day (or days) that is all about your love.

It’s important to remember that big weddings can be a lot of fun, but they often come with stressful and strict timelines, figuring out seating arrangements, finding a caterer and the list goes on and on. With traditional weddings the focus can get lost from the couple.

If you’re wanting your wedding day to be an authentic reflection of your relationship and your marriage, we recommend eloping.

In 2021 we have seen a vast increase in elopements, and not just adventure elopements but more couples choosing to have a more intimate gathering. All-day elopements are also steadily increasing in popularity, if you’re wondering more about what an All-day Elopement is and how to have one we have another blog post about that too!

At One Eleven we know how stressful planning a wedding or elopement can be and we work as hard as possible to ensure that our couples have a uniquely authentic experience that is as stress free as possible. Your wedding day should be an experience you look forward to as much as the marriage.
