Not everyone is into the massive celebration of a traditional wedding. Indeed, it is a lovely event, but some people, for whatever reason, prefer to go somewhere far and magical and celebrate love with their partners in an intimate manner. If this sounds like you, then you’d love to know that there are some places that are just too awesome for elopement weddings.
So, if you wish to have a peek into these locations, with some images of the place, and some must-dos, keep reading.
Big Sur, California
If you haven’t ever been to the Big Sur, you sure are missing out on a lot. This completely natural scenery is not just beautiful, it is for the adventurous couple. While you can have your wedding along the dramatic and rugged coastline, you can also enjoy your romantic getaway on the cliffs. Even beach lovers would certainly find an awesome place in this elopement spot. When you have the time, you and your loved one could enjoy each other’s company while walking along the forest and hill trails. You can also visit McWay Falls or stargaze with your loved ones at night. It’s the total package.
Chugach Mountains, Alaska
This is truly the spot for mountains. So, if you love the rocky view, this is a great recommendation. But the Chugach mountains are more than just plain old rocks and hills. For it to be one of our most awesome elopement spots in the world, you sure can expect more. In this same spot, you can have the green mountains and those covered in white, icy snow. At the same time, there are creeks, rivers, lakes, alps, valleys, and waterfalls – all of which makes for the most romantic setting for your wedding.
The Poconos, Pennsylvania
The Poconos is another spectacular scenery for the adventurous couple. But unlike the Chugach Mountains, where there’s a big possibility that you’ll run into other people – here, it is all about you and your special partner.
The places you can decide to have a lovely, romantic, and intimate wedding include on the beautiful, rustic wooden bridge over the waterfall, in the rocky valley, or even at the peaceful Lake Harmony.
Joshua Tree, California
It’s not just the Big Sur that’s awe-inspiring in California. Even Joshua Tree National Park is a wide span of land with numerous sceneries for the most romantic and memorable wedding. There are rocky fascinations with different rocks shaped like a skull, a penguin, an arch, and even a heart. Besides rocks, there is also a glorious and purely magical dam named the Barker Dam, which has the right blend of colors and natural elements. In the same light, the cholla cactus garden gives a desert view with a touch of intimacy.
Joshua Tree National Park still has a few more jaw-dropping spots, but these are just the few that are great for an elopement wedding.
Las Vegas, Nevada
The last, but certainly not the least of all the spots, is Las Vegas. Though many used to believe Las Vegas is the place for quick weddings, mostly with no attachments. In this case, we’ll switch things over.
Not only is Las Vegas one of the most awesome spots in the world. It is also the most romantic region for the most intimate ceremonies. One of these regions is the Red Rock Canyon. Located within the Mojave Desert, the canyon is one of nature’s gifts to the region. Filled with rocks and a picture-worthy valley with scattered grass, this view will make your wedding even more of a bomb.
There is another canyon, the high canyon. But if you wish to step away from the canyons, Las Vegas features the colorful high rollers in the city. While you can always take the ride after your wedding, pictures in front of the wheel are pretty.
Finally, the sky-pod is the most thrilling and exciting spot to visit. You could be lucky to feature some fireworks action on your big day.
Conclusion
If you love the beach and the coastline, visit Big Sur, and if you are more of a mountaintop-kind-of couple, the Chugach Mountains are waiting for you. But don’t forget that the latter also features creeks, rivers, and breathtaking lake views.
When it comes to the Poconos, it is the home of the green. Waterfalls and lovely rocky valleys make up the green scenery of the Pennsylvania Wonder. Plus, it is a place for the kind of couple that love quiet time. The same goes for the Joshua Tree National Park, which is more than just mountains or rocks. The desert view also features some impressive and jaw-dropping architecture that you must just visit.
Finally, take your wedding to Las Vegas and enjoy the fireworks or colorful rides. But know that whichever place you decide to have your wedding, as long as it is with the person you love, it’ll be perfect!
