How to Make Your Elopement Feel Like a Real Wedding.
You donβt need 100 guests to create a moment that feels important. Here are some ways to make your Queenstown elopement feel like a true celebration.
1. WEAR WHAT YOUβD WEAR TO A WEDDING
If youβve always dreamed of wearing that dress or a sharp suit do it.
2. EXCHANGE PERSONAL VOWS
This is where the magic really happens. Take time to write your vows. Say them somewhere meaningful on a mountain, by a lake, or in a tiny cabin with just the two of you.
3. HAVE A FIRST DANCE
Bring a portable speaker, choose a song that you would of walked down the isle to and have a little sway under the stars or by the fire or on a mountain top, literally onto of the world. Itβs cheesy and beautiful.
4. CUT A CAKE OR SHARE A MEAL
You can have your cake and eat it too. Pop a bottle of champagne. These little traditions can still be part of your day.
Iβve seen so many elopements and all of them feel just as special as a full wedding.
If you are thinking of eloping in Queenstown, thereβs so many ways to make it special.
