Eloping is not for everyone, just as big weddings are not suited to all. Nowadays, eloping doesn’t imply a lack of planning for the special details that can make your day memorable and unique. From dream wedding attire to your favorite flowers, select VIP guests, and even a first dance – you can tailor your day to suit your desires. However, it’s important to carefully consider your wishes and ensure they are sensible for you, your partner, and any special individuals you want to include.
