The subtle art of crafting the perfect tablescape is not lost on elopements. This fusion of warm, rusty hues + earthy pops of citrus and eucalyptus + understated grounding stone flatware = sheer Joshua Tree dinner party perfection. #tablescapeinspo #joshuatreeelopement #elopementdinnerparty #elopementtablescape #desertdinnerparty #desertelopement #artofeloping

New vendor alert 🌞 Welcome to the motley crew @geminisuncreative 🫶 Based in Philly, Dani’s documentary-style approach to photography hits with a smooth fine art finish thanks to her time spent studying and developing the craft at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her ethos? “Your wedding should be a reflection of who you are as a couple, filled with things (and people) that make your heart beam, and nothing that doesn’t.” We are so grateful for vendors like Dani who are set alight by the intimacy of eloping, who go confidently (and skillfully) down the paths less traditionally taken, and who make up our delicious little community. Especially when they bring a big heart to their work—Dani offers packages and custom payment options to work with all budgets. Read more about Dani and check out her photo skills in our Philadelphia Destination Guide, where she’s listed as a Featured Vendor. #linkinbio #geminisuncreative #phillyelopement #iheartphilly #philadelphiaelopement #philadelphiaelopementphotographer #phillyphotog #phillylove #artofeloping

POV: You invite your friends and family to a fancy “party” that turns out to be your surprise elopement celebration 🥂 AND you hire a fab photographer like @jamessimmonsphotography to capture the sheer delight on their faces when the secret's revealed. These unique soirées are perfect for the couple who wants to share their day with their nearest and dearest while also calling *all* the shots—and avoiding the not-asked-for commentary on things like your not-white dress. And don't take it from just us—even the OG pros @brides have broken from their longtime fondness for tradition to note that the major wedding trend this year is the "anti-trend." That's pretty significant coming from the very publication that invented the wedding industry and things like the department store registry a very, very long time ago. As in 1934. Because anti-trends have always been in our DNA, here's a tip if you're looking to get hitched with a side of shenanigans sooner than later: Peak festive season is looming, so why not hijack a holiday and host a "dinner party" or "Sunday brunch" to keep the trail truly cold? For surprise ceremony ideas that'll work year-round, peep chapter 9 in our lil book for more tips and tricks, and hear from real couples who pulled one off. #linkinbio #yourweddingyourway #surprisewedding #howtoelope #australianelopementphotographer #northfremantleelopement #northfremantlewedding #guildhall #artofeloping

Fate loves irony, and celebrating the next chapter of your lives together in a place called "Death Valley" is certainly a testament to that. Would you choose to honor your love within the solitude that a vast desert brings? If you're in the "hell yes" camp, we've dedicated a whole section in Your Wedding, Your Way to pulling off a desert elopement. Find out where to grab your copy at the link upstairs. For more moody and magical snaps, get lost on @alexmari_'s feed 🌙, an OG AoE vendor.

When a courthouse (almost) steals the show... The Santa Barbara Courthouse is a real stunner, white-washed and draped in coral trees. 🌺 It's so popular for tying the knot that it has its own wedding coordinator, plus designated outdoor spaces for intimate weddings with 15 people or fewer. Now that's how you do a courthouse wedding. 🥂 Gorgeous photo/credit and permission from @veilstailsphoto (P.S. Peep my book, Your Wedding, Your Way, for more fabulous courthouses, plus tips on eloping in a different state!)💡#linkinbio

Happy Pride Day 🏳️‍🌈 On June 28, 1969, the revolutionary Stonewall Riots outside the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village triggered the LGBTQ movement as we today know it. In light of recent rulings, may we continue the fight.

On June 28, 1895, the wedding announcement for Ida B. Wells appeared on the front page of The New York Times in a single paragraph at the bottom of the page. Though small, its significance was extraordinary: Wells was a Black woman, born into slavery in 1862, three years before the end of the Civil War. But Wells led a remarkable—and often overlooked—life in the years following the war. A journalist and pioneer of civil rights, she launched an anti-lynching crusade and co-founded the NAACP. In 1884, more than 70 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus, Wells refused to give up her seat in a whites-only train car, and was dragged off and arrested. In honor of Juneteenth, I’m sharing her extraordinary story on the blog. Read more about her legacy (and wedding) at the link in bio. Photo courtesy of GPA Photo Archive
