How to Make Your Elopement Day Unique
Hint: It’s All About Personalizing the Adventure!
Eloping isn’t just about skipping the big wedding—it’s about crafting a day that’s as unique as your love story. Whether you’re drawn to the rugged peaks of the White Mountains or the serene shores of Acadia National Park, the possibilities for making your elopement day special are endless.
So, how do you make your elopement day unique? It’s all about infusing it with the things you love most—your favorite activities, meaningful traditions, and a few unexpected surprises. Or planning something you've never done and always wanted to, it's the perfect excuse!
Why Personalizing Your Elopement Matters
Your elopement isn’t just a ceremony—it’s an experience. It’s a chance to create memories you’ll cherish forever. When you make your elopement day uniquely yours, every detail feels intentional and personal. It’s a celebration of your love story, not just a wedding.
How to Make Your Elopement Day Unique
Here are some fun and adventurous ways to add a personal touch to your elopement day:
1. Choose a Location That Speaks to You
The setting of your elopement can set the tone for the day. Whether it’s a misty mountain summit, a quiet forest clearing, or a rocky coastline, pick a place that holds meaning for you.
• White Mountains, NH: Ideal for adventurous couples who love hiking, snowshoeing, or chasing waterfalls.
• Acadia National Park, ME: Perfect for sunrise views, oceanfront vows, or exploring the iconic Park Loop Road.
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Maybe it’s a spot where you had your first date or somewhere you’ve always dreamed of visiting together.
2. Plan an Activity You Love
One of the best ways to make your elopement day unique is by incorporating activities that reflect your relationship. Think about what makes you both happy and build it into your day.
• Take a sunrise hike to exchange vows.
• Go paddleboarding on a calm lake.
• Pack a picnic with your favorite snacks and enjoy it with an epic view.
• Hop on a bike for a fun and quirky post-ceremony ride.
• Charter a boat for a private sunset cruise.
• Longboard with your loved one after your ceremony.
• Go for a cross-country ski in the wilderness of the White Mountains.
• Go for a scenic plane or helicopter ride.
• Go for a scenic train ride through the mountains.
Your elopement doesn’t have to involve hiking—plan something that feels authentic to you!
3. Include Personal Details
Small, thoughtful touches can make your day feel extra special:
• Write personalized vows or letters to each other.
• Carry heirloom items, like a piece of jewelry or a family keepsake.
• Incorporate your favorite foods, like PB&Js for a picnic or a cake inspired by your favorite flavor.
4. Plan for Epic Photos
Your elopement photos will capture the magic of the day, so make sure to prioritize stunning locations and meaningful moments.
Golden hour lighting (sunrise or sunset) is always a winner. And if you’re working with a photographer who knows the area (like me!), you can find hidden gems that will make your photos unforgettable.
5. Add a Touch of Adventure
If you’re feeling bold, consider adding a little extra thrill to your day:
• Go ziplining through the trees.
• Take a scenic flight over your favorite landscape.
• Ride a gondola to a mountain summit.
Adventure doesn’t have to mean adrenaline—it’s about stepping outside the ordinary and embracing the moment.
6. Celebrate with a Special Meal or Treat
Whether it’s a private dinner at a cozy restaurant, a luxury picnic in the woods, or s’mores around a campfire, food is a great way to make your elopement day memorable.
Pro tip: Bring a thermos of hot cocoa or tea if you’re eloping in cooler weather—it’s a game-changer!
7. End the Day with a Bang
Your elopement day doesn’t have to end after the ceremony. Plan a fun evening activity to keep the celebration going:
• Stargaze under a clear night sky.
• Light sparklers for a festive touch.
• Dance to your favorite playlist in a quiet, beautiful spot.
