10 Unique Elopement Ideas to Make Your Big Day Feel Like YOU
It’s the word on everybody’s lips when talking about a fun and intentional wedding–elopements! What was once viewed as a cheap teenage runaway story to Vegas has become a popular path couples take on their wedding day. Elopements allow you to focus more on the experience of getting married than on the details of a big traditional ceremony. They invite couples to be more intimate and meaningful on their wedding day which has a lot to do with their increased popularity.

Winter Wedding at a Woodville Winery
I’ll come out and say it—I love a good winter wedding. I love them, even more, when they are at a Woodville Winery in California. Winter weddings are moody, romantic, and cozy. They might not check all the same boxes, but they instead offer an intimacy that you might not find during the summer months. Another big perk? Vendors, from caterers to planners to bands often have greater availability outside the traditional wedding season, meaning the odds of booking your dream florist (or photographer!) are that much better.
