Traditional weddings are beautiful, and they will probably always be the most popular choice. But, they aren't for everyone. As time goes on, more and more people are choosing to scale down their wedding and go on the road less traveled. Destination micro-weddings and elopements have become increasingly popular as years have gone on. After the Covid-19 pandemic became less of a threat and as travel restrictions have lifted in most places, people have begun planning their dream destination elopement or micro-wedding. We are all for it, and here's why you should be too:
1. Small is beautiful: Let's face it, weddings can be a bit overwhelming. There's so much to plan and organize, and it can all get a bit too much. If you're looking for something a bit more intimate and low-key, then a destination elopement could be perfect for you. You can still have all the elements of a traditional wedding, but on a much smaller scale. This can make your special day even more special.
2. It's all about you: With a destination elopement, you can really focus on what matters most - each other. There's no need to worry about impressing guests or making sure everyone is happy. This day is all about you and your partner, and you can spend it exactly as you please.
3. You can go anywhere: One of the best things about destination elopements is that you're not tied to any one location. Whether you've always dreamed of getting married on a tropical beach or in a fairytale castle, with a destination elopement, you can make that dream a reality.
4. It's more intimate: If you're looking for a truly intimate experience, then a destination elopement is the perfect choice. With only your closest friends and family present, you can really savor every moment of your special day.
5. It's less expensive: destination elopements can actually be quite a bit cheaper than traditional weddings. With a smaller guest list and fewer expenses, you can save big on your wedding day.
6. You can have an adventure: destination elopements are the perfect opportunity to turn your wedding day into an adventure. Whether you're hiking to a remote location or exploring a new city, you can create lasting memories with your spouse.
7. It's unique: If you're looking for a wedding that truly reflects your personality, then a destination elopement is the way to go. With so many options available, you can create a one-of-a-kind wedding that you and your guests will never forget.
8. You can avoid the stress: Planning a destination elopement is often much less stressful than planning a traditional wedding. With fewer details to worry about, you can relax and enjoy the process.
9. It's intimate: One of the best things about destination elopements is that they are intimate affairs. With only your closest family and friends in attendance, you can truly enjoy quality time with the people you love most.
10. You'll make lifetime memories: When it comes down to it, destination elopements are all about making lifetime memories. From the moment you start planning until long after the big day, you'll look back on your elopement with nothing but happiness and love.
