Adding Personal Touches to Your Intimate Elopement Experience

Planning an intimate wedding offers you the opportunity to infuse your celebration with personal touches that truly reflect your love story. From unique unity ceremony ideas to thoughtful decor, here’s how you can create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Your unity ceremony says a lot about your love story. Unity ceremonies aren’t required, but can be a fun and personal touch to your wedding day. Most commonly, unity ceremonies are simple. Here are a few examples:

• Braiding of Three Cords
• Pouring of Sand
• Lighting One Candle from Two Individuals

There is a lot of symbolism behind the start of unity ceremonies. With the rising climb of elopements and non-traditional unions, unity ceremonies have become a little more creative. In this wedding at Sunset Lake Summer Camp, the couple opted to plant a succulent garden!

When ceremonies like this are done, each cup of soil or plant is usually symbolic or physical pieces of the couple’s history. Sometimes the soil cups are filled with dirt from each party’s home, for instance. Additionally, here are some other unique unity ceremony ideas:

• Combining of Alcohol (or Favorite Beverages)
• Making a PB&J
• Handfasting
• Branding

Another unique aspect to this wedding was the boho vibes the couple chose to incorporate. While surrounded by the beautiful nature scene, the couple added some of their personality and fashion sense by adding a variety of simple rugs to the venue. The lakeside ceremony had an aisle built of rugs for the wedding party to walk down and a side aisle for the couple to make an exit. This little personal touch was perfect for the couple, and I absolutely loved it!
