Gone are the days when eloping meant running off in secret to get married in a hurried, clandestine ceremony. Today, modern elopements have redefined the concept, blending intimacy and personalisation with style and ease. A modern elopement wedding at Little Seed Field is all about creating a meaningful and unforgettable experience for you as a couple, in a breathtaking, rustic, wild, location with minimal stress and maximum joy.
What is an Elopement Wedding?
A modern elopement is a small, intentionally planned wedding that focuses on your connection and personal preferences. It typically involves just you or a very limited guest list, often just close family or friends. Unlike more traditional weddings, modern elopements prioritise the purpose and experience ahead of elaborate preparations and large guest lists.
Why we love intimate elopement weddings:
- Intimacy and Simplicity – small is beautiful, romantic and very personal
- Unique Locations – outside or inside, summer or winter…so many choices!
- Personalised Ceremonies – a dog for a ringbearer? Your best friend as host?
- Stress-Free Planning – we can arrange everything – pictures, flowers, cake…
- Creative Freedom – you can literally arrange your day, your way!
Why Choose an Elopement?
Many of our couples choose a modern elopement to avoid the pressure and expenses associated with traditional weddings. It allows you to prioritise your relationship and the significance of your commitment. Additionally, the flexibility of elopement planning can lead to a more relaxed and enjoyable wedding day, free from the usual wedding-day anxieties and the pressure of having masses of guests to entertain!
Planning Your Elopement
If you’re considering a modern elopement, start by discussing your ideal vision with your partner. Consider what’s most important to both of you – whether it’s a specific destination, a particular style, or certain personal touches. From there, you can start planning the details that will make your day uniquely yours. Hiring an elopement planner or a photographer with experience in elopements can also help streamline the process and ensure everything runs smoothly.
In Summary…
A modern elopement wedding is a beautiful way to celebrate love in a personal and authentic manner. It strips away the excess and focuses on the essence of what a wedding should be: a heartfelt celebration of commitment between two people. Whether you dream of saying your vows lakeside at sunrise or in a charming, rustic barn, an elopement offers endless possibilities for creating a day that truly reflects your love story.
