Looking for reasons to plan your Destination Elopement in Europe? We know exactly why!
We might be a tad biased (Amulet owner, Nadia, eloped in dreamy Iceland…) but an elopement is incredibly romantic and can be entirely unique. Here we’ve put together some reasons you might want to elope, and some handy hints for planning your elopement somewhere extra special.
Get Creative
If you’ve decided to elope, you’ll certainly have more fun and freedom to be creative in your choices. You can escape to any number of far-flung places across the globe, and have the ceremony you’ve been dreaming of. An elopement allows you to think outside the wedding box. There’s no pressure from family or friends to conform so you can take inspiration from whatever takes your fancy.
You can enjoy all of the best parts of your own fairytale wedding exactly the way you want to. There is nothing to distract you from the real reason you’re there in the first place: each other.
Relax and unwind
Sometimes when you’re planning a wedding in your home country, the whole thing can be quite overwhelming and pressurised. Often it can feel like you’re not planning the wedding for you: You’re trying to please everyone else. With an elopement, you can keep it simple and stress-free, focussing on what really matters to you: your marriage and lifelong commitment to each other. You can have all the sentiment with none of the fuss! It can be even easier if you hire an elopement planner to take care of all the minutiae…
It’s all about you
We’ve seen how couples can become totally consumed trying to ensure that their guests have the perfect day – often to the detriment of the bride and groom being able to enjoy the day themselves. If you elope, you don’t have to worry about entertaining guests, nor will you have to worry about getting nervous having everyone watching you. Your intimate elopement will be a magical and special moment that only you share.
Price-tag
And because you’re heading away just the two of you, it’s a way of keeping costs down. Eloping is ideal if you haven’t got an unlimited budget or Bank of Mum and Dad to call on. Finance might not sound very romantic but keeping within your means and celebrating your marriage together – just the two of you – really is! A luxury elopment escape is the perfect way to kick-start your happily ever after.
The World is Your Oyster!
If you’re not sure about where to escape to, then have a look at some of these amazing destinations. Would you want to look into each others eyes beneath a waterfall in the Land of Fire and Ice, or perhaps say your vows on a breathtaking beach in Montenegro? An elopement for you might mean cosy fireplaces and kirche in the Swiss Alps; or you might want to celebrate your love of all things outdoors and hit the slopes with your loved one in Austria! Planning an elopement means you CAN do those things! Hurrah!
Playing the game
You’ll have to think about the legalities of your marriage – some countries will allow you to hold a ceremony, but it might not be a legal marriage in the eyes of the UK law. This means you’ll need to check whether the country you want to say “I do” in is lawful or not. Whilst we’re unable to complete the paperwork for you, we can certainly point you in the right direction allowing you to relax and not worry too much about the legalities. Hiring Nadia as your elopement planner will ensure all that hassle is taken away whilst you’re still kept in the loop. Amulet Weddings and Events are experienced in all things Destination Wedding and will handle all the tricky bits so you don’t have to!
Let’s Celebrate!
And when you return from your elopement, back to friends and family, you can celebrate your nuptials with a post-elopement party! They’ll all be pleased to see you both so happy, and they’ll be supportive and want to join in the celebrations!
