Let's get thinking!
For your elopement you have the unique opportunity to make this day totally special and catered to you! These are just a few local locations to help get the ideas rolling!
BUT FIRST...
A few questions to help you think!
+ Do you have any locations that are special to you that could be considered? We can talk about them!! Even if you feel it's not "aesthetically pleasing" There is beauty and potential everywhere!
+ What feel do you want for your day? This will help you decide on the spot for your elopement! Calm, Vibrant, woodsy, city feels, energetic, water colors, sunny and bright, shaded?
+ Will you be adding anything to your location? (florals or decor?)
+ What is something you love to do with your partner? Could this be something we do during your elopement? (celebrate with a certain food or drink, taco bell? go somewhere afterwards? hiking to our spot? get in a canoe? so many possibilities!) I do have recommendations on florists too for a bouquet if need be!

A greenhouse Or location like it!

A rooftop or parking garage
