Last year during Covid-19 elopements started to become a bigger trend so couples could still get married on their original planned date. However, elopements have been going on for years and there is a difference between an elopement and a traditional wedding.
Traditional weddings typically include the following:
- Guests over 75
- Multiple Vendors ( florists, rental companies, venues, etc)
- Your ceremony will include bridesmaids, groomsmen, and family walking down the aisle
- More cost to the couple
- Spend a lot of your time entertaining (perfect for the party planner in you!)
Elopements typically include the following:
- No more than 10 people (closest, family, and friends)
- They are typically hosted in a non-venue situation like in a park or on the side of a cliff or an Airbnb
- A small number of vendors (florist, officiant, and attire)
- Less cost to the couple (they are most likely hosting a dinner after)
- It is a more intimate setting and you can relax and enjoy your time together as a family
