Yes, eloping can take off all the stress coming from planning a big party.
There are less things to think about, less technical details, and no strict timeline to follow.
It can be really simple if you want.
No more “Should I put the plus one?” “In which table should I collocate auntie Jenny?”
I am not saying that big traditional weddings are wrong they can be a dream for many couples, and if so, go for it!
Just consider what this includes.
Spending months looking for suppliers, calculate the budget, making lists, dealing with thousands of situations, and when the day finally arrive, be prepared because there will be other things coming.
I have been shooting traditional weddings for many years, and too many times I saw couples literally running to keep everything going on, making sure that the guests were having fun, transportations, group photos, catering, music, etc.
Some of them did not even have time to eat something, or spend ten minutes having a relaxed chat with friends as the “maximum time allowed per person was five minutes”.
Planning BIG means BIG responsibilities, and a timeline to respect, for the event’s sake.
I would never want for you a day where you feel overwhelmed.
You should enjoy every second of this moment and remember that day as the most beautiful of your life!
