Tips for Newly Engaged Couples | Loves and Regrets from Past Wedding + Elopement Days | Adventure Elopement Photographer | Destination Wedding Photography
The new year means lots of newly engaged couples - am I right!? It seems like the busiest time of year for people to get engaged is the holidays, which means that when January comes around, it’s time to start wrapping your head around making it happen!
I asked for feedback from recently married couples about the things they regret and the things they loved about their wedding day, so that it can hopefully help you navigate the road of deciding what you want to do! I want the day you get married to be full of the things that make you happiest.
Whether you’re planning an adventure elopement or a wedding, there are lots of elements to think about. Here is the consensus of what others loved and didn’t love about their weddings + elopements, and I hope that reading these pieces of advice from couples that have been through it all can help you to make the best decisions for you!
THINGS WE LOVED
Investing in a good photographer (promise this was said a few times ;) But I agree!!)
Having a short engagement which meant less time to plan and stress over decisions
Being surrounded by all of the people you love
Having great food
Doing a bridal session (don’t know what a bridal session is? Click here!)
THINGS WE REGRET
Not having a videographer (*mentioned the most times!)
The cost of investing in a wedding
We wished we would have eloped
Overall regretting having a wedding
Waking up for a sunrise hike - tired by mid afternoon
Having a wedding on a Sunday because people left early
GENERAL TIPS TO THINK ABOUT
Splurge on a spa day the day before your elopement!
Walk slowly down the aisle - pause to take it all in!
If you have a reception, take a moment and go off to the side to take it all in!
Take a day in between your wedding and honeymoon!
That’s a wrap! I hope these tips help you in planning the best day of saying I do!
