Have your Eco wedding - where YOU want it!
Because you are having a small minimalist wedding with a handful of guests, your ceremony and reception can be a no-frills minimalist outdoor location with a truly minimal backdrop, the "blank canvas of nature" wedding venue is the way to go. For those of you who love a more organic aesthetic style, holding your wedding outdoors, in a sea cave or tidal pool, in a forest or woodland clearing, a wildflower meadow or a cliff top with an incredible view will be a natural choice. We offer our couples the best of both worlds as we work with venues if our couples choose to use one and we also offer some amazing ‘secret’ locations for our outdoor lovers too. It’s a win-win outcome all round!
Saving the Planet, one step, one carbon footprint at a time!
If you’re choosing an elopement wedding for two plus a few or are having only a handful of guests, that means that you won’t have one hundred or more people needing to travel to and from your wedding by car or by air, which causes huge amounts of carbon emissions. And, if you’re choosing to elope or have your small wedding closer to home, that means you’re reducing your carbon footprint even more! If you do decide to travel, consider traveling by train, bus or car over an airplane, as flying produces more CO2 than one person produces in an entire year.
Elopement Wedding Photography
The key to a successful minimalist wedding is Intentionality. It’s really important when choosing the different suppliers you are using, including your photographers to share your vision with them. Every couple is different and has different needs so when working with a more minimal couple, we as photographers need to be more intentional and careful with how we capture them and their wedding day to stay true to their vision. Fortunately, this is what we do for all our couples, minimalist or not. And we do it well! Our Elopement Photography Page
Wedding Flowers & Bouquets
The bride’s bouquet, and bouquets for all of her bridesmaids; the groom’s boutonniere, and the boutonnieres for all of his groomsmen; flower arches or aisle arrangements at the wedding ceremony, and centerpieces for the receptions can amount to thousands of flowers that, at the end of the night, can just get tossed in the trash. By choosing to elope, or have a minimalist wedding you’re taking that number from thousands to merely dozens so if flowers and foliage is on your list of your must-haves, we recommend choosing just one type of flower to showcase. Big blooms like peonies, orchids, roses in a similar shade arranged singularly or displayed in large groups look amazing. Silk and dried flowers can look surprisingly good with the minimalist aesthetic! Beautiful bouquets don’t have to be made from exotic expensive blooms. Simple, yet stunning bouquets can be created with wild flowers like daisies. fragrant herbs like rosemary and lavender for a unique looking bouquet. If you are flexible, work with what you find on the day before the wedding, and design your bouquet around it. Check out our Wedding Florist Page
Local Wedding Caterers
You do not need the classic many tiered wedding cake for a small minimalist wedding. Make a fake cake with just the first tier made from real cake if you like the look of a traditional stacked cake or choose another option like wedding cupcakes, donut stands or a dessert table instead. Brunch or an early evening buffet with local and seasonal produce will keep your food budget in check. The beauty of eloping is that not only do you save thousands on food (whose leftovers can get tossed, leading to even more waste), but you can take a more local, farm-to-table approach with your meals that larger caterers can’t always provide. Deliver leftovers to a food bank or shelter near your elopement location or bring some containers for leftovers. Our favourite wedding caterers
Choose sustainable eco-friendly fabric and sources for your outfits
When it comes to shopping for your wedding dress or suit, look for styles with clean, structured, simple lines, solid colors and soft, muted motifs. Neutral, natural color palettes like black, navy, cream, white, or taupe work beautifully too. To keep your wedding sustainable, you can hire or rent your wedding dress, buy it on sale or second-hand shops or source it online. Oxfam, Etsy and Asos are good places to startRemember to start your search early. You can make the most of treasured family jewels, brooches, pendants by using these items to create and build your outfit around. You can also wear a wedding dress with an illusion neckline or longer sleeves to minimize the need for any jewelry to maintain a minimalist look. Take advantage of the mix-and-match trend by choosing the color palette and let your attendants have the freedom to pick their own outfits. Your bridal party will feel better about spending money on an outfit they can wear again.
