How to Elope in Colorado
So, you're thinking about eloping, but you have no idea where to start? You're in the right place! Gone are the days when eloping meant sneaking off to the courthouse in secret. Over time, the meaning of elopement has completely transformed. Now, it's all about intentional, intimate wedding experiences—just you and your partner (or maybe a small group of your closest people) saying your vows in a way that feels right. Just a wedding day that actually feels like you.
Whether you’re dreaming of exchanging vows on a mountaintop, skipping the stress of a big wedding, or just focusing on what truly matters—you and your love—eloping gives you the freedom to create a wedding experience that’s completely your own.
The best part of planning an elopement? Choosing the perfect location to say “I do.” With elopements being smaller and more flexible, you have the freedom to get creative with your location. This is your chance to turn that dream destination into the backdrop of your wedding day—whether it’s a rugged mountaintop, a secluded alpine lake, or that one place you’ve been dying to cross off your bucket list.
When planning your elopement, it’s the little details that make your day truly yours. Choose attire that fits both your style and your setting—whether that’s a flowing dress, a sharp suit, hiking boots, or something totally non-traditional. Book your accommodations early, especially if you’re heading to a popular destination. And don’t forget to plan experiences that make the day unforgettable—a sunrise hike, an after ceremony picnic, a chef prepared dinner, or even something adventurous like skydiving or a hot air balloon ride. This is your moment—make it as unique as your love story.
Eloping is all about creating a day that’s authentically you. Whether it’s just the two of you or a handful of your closest people, focus on the experience and embrace the freedom that comes with eloping. From choosing a breathtaking location to planning meaningful moments—every detail is yours to shape. It’s a stress-free, intentional way to say “I do” without the pressure of tradition. This part of the planning process is all about letting your imagination go wild, and envisioning the most enjoyable day for the two of you, that would celebrate your relationship in the most authentic way. Forget about any restrictions for a moment and just dream big—that’s where you’ll find what speaks most to you. You’ll have time to figure out the details later. It’s time to start dreaming!
