Traditional weddings are of course a memorable time, but some crave a more adventurous experience for their special day so I’ve given you 5 unique elopement ideas for those seeking some elopement inspiration!

MIX UP THE SCENERY

Choosing a scenic elopement location makes for some killer photos, and killer photos make for great wall decor! Here are some jaw-dropping locations I would recommend:

• Moab, Utah
• The California Redwoods
• Yosemite Valley, California
• Death Valley National Park, California
• Joshua Tree, California
• Horseshoe Bend + Antelope Canyon, Arizona
• Garden of the Gods, Colorado
• Aspen, Colorado
• Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah

TAKE A HIKE

Are you the ultimate adventure couple? I might just believe you IF you hike up to your elopement ceremony location. We did just that for Jessie and Tyler’s Breckenridge, Colorado wedding day. Read more about this unique elopement adventure here!

BOOK A REMOTE CABIN FOR THE WEEKEND

If you are craving something more intimate, then booking a remote cabin experience might be the option for you. Lauren and Todd had an intimate Colorado mountain wedding in Telluride, and it was so dreamy!

HIT THE SLOPES

You may have not even thought about using the slopes as a backdrop to your day, but hellooo, Colorado is a perfect place to do so. Lucky for you, my career pre-wedding industry consisted of teaching skiing + snowboarding to kids and adults for just over a decade AND I grew up in the town home to one of the US’s largest ski resorts- ski enthusiasts, I got you!

HEAD OUT ON A 4X4 TOUR

Marley and Brian curated an amazing 4×4 Jeep tour elopement in Ouray, Colorado that gave major Swiss Alps vibes. If you want to see more, I have a whole blog post about their day that you can check out here! If you’re one for out of this world views, an elopement like this is right up your alley.
