<\/div>\n
You might be thinking: what are Crystal’s top tips to help couples plan an elevated elopement?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Crystal<\/a> says, “include something that\u00a0you<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0partner love to do.\u00a0You<\/span>\u00a0don\u2019t have to stick to\u00a0the<\/span> \u201cnorm\u201d by any means; this could be something as simple as soaking in a hot tub together the<\/span>\u00a0morning of\u00a0your<\/span> elopement, a more adventurous activity like horseback riding or even just stopping by a local brewery to grab a drink.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She also encourages couples to invite someone special to officiate your wedding<\/a> (ummmm, Ashleigh Olguin Ceremonies, anyone?!). Your<\/span>\u00a0officiant is a pivotal aspect of\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0day<\/span>. Include\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0people\u00a0you<\/span>\u00a0love by having a family member or friend officiate\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0ceremony. They are going to be in photos and sign\u00a0your<\/span> marriage license; why not have someone you<\/span>\u00a0know be\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0one who does this!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Crystal Cousin Photo<\/a> also recommends to be present with who you<\/span> want to be there. Invite whoever\u00a0YOU<\/span>\u00a0want.\u00a0Your<\/span> elopement or wedding could be just the<\/span>\u00a0two of\u00a0you<\/span>, or\u00a0you<\/span>\u00a0could bring along a handful of\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0favorite people. Whatever makes\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0most sense for\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0two of\u00a0you<\/span>. If\u00a0you<\/span>\u00a0are inviting guests,\u00a0you<\/span>\u00a0could also consider reading vows privately before\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0ceremony to have a more intimate moment before standing with everyone.<\/div>\n

They also recommend to give new life to a vintage dress or vintage accessories! For a truly sustainable and unique look, a vintage wedding dress is\u00a0the<\/span> perfect option. Elicit nostalgia by choosing a one-of-a-kind vintage dress or customize your<\/span>\u00a0dress by taking vintage pieces, such as lace from\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0grandmothers veil, and having a local seamstress customize\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0bridal attire.

A dramatic way to\u00a0elevate<\/span>\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0bridal attire and to show\u00a0your<\/span>\u00a0individual style is to wear a dress in an unconventional color.
