Eloping doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the excitement and joy of celebrating with friends. In fact, an elopement week can be filled with unique and fun activities that create lasting memories. Read below for my favorites ways of making your elopement week unforgettable. And enjoy moments from my last Greece trip celebrating some amazing couples on the Aegean Sea!
Here are some ideas to make your elopement week truly special:
1. Adventure Day:
Kick off your elopement week with an adventure day. Plan a hike, go rock climbing, or take a scenic bike ride. Choose an activity that lets you explore the natural beauty of your location while bonding with your friends. Not only will you have an incredible experience, but you’ll also capture stunning photos in breathtaking surroundings. My favorite kind of adventure day is a boat day like this gallery from Greece! Explore the stunning place you are celebrating at, with the family you’ve brought along and the friends who cherish you!
2. Wine Tasting Tour:
Organize a wine tasting tour at a local vineyard. This is a perfect way to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for some candid and intimate photos. Many vineyards offer private tours and tastings, making it a personalized and luxurious experience.
3. Beach Bonfire:
If you’re eloping near the coast, a beach bonfire can be a magical evening. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy the sound of the waves. The warm glow of the fire and the starry night sky will provide a romantic backdrop for your elopement photos.
4. Spa Day:
Treat yourself and your friends to a spa day. Enjoy massages, facials, and relaxation time. This is the perfect way to unwind and de-stress before your big day. Plus, you’ll all feel refreshed and glowing, ready for those close-up shots.
5. Private Dinner Party:
Host a private dinner party with your closest friends. Hire a chef or caterer to prepare a delicious meal, or cook together for a fun and interactive evening. Decorate the space with fairy lights and flowers for a charming and intimate atmosphere.
6. Fun Photoshoot:
Of course, a special photoshoot with your friends is a must. Choose a theme or simply capture the candid moments of your week together. These photos will be cherished reminders of the joy and love surrounding your elopement.
By incorporating these activities into your elopement week, you’ll create a series of unforgettable moments with your friends. It’s all about celebrating love, friendship, and the start of your new life together in a fun and meaningful way.
