Let me guess, are you recently engaged and trying to find the right fit for your wedding? I completely understand. Do you go the traditional big wedding route? Or consider an adventurous yet intimate elopement? It's all about what makes the most sense for your relationship - neither option is better than the other or wrong. If you're leaning towards an elopement, specifically a Glacier National Park elopement, let me first congratulate you and be your guide! Throughout the blog I'll walk you through how to plan your elopement in 6 short months. This guide helps you remain organized and truly enjoy the planning process!
6 Months From your Glacier National Park Elopement
Once you've decided to elope and have chosen a date - start reaching out to your most important vendors. Photographers, officiants, and even venues (cabins, etc.) tend to book early and quickly. It's crucial to reach out to these people sooner rather than later so you can secure your date and gather your dream team to support you on your day. Next, let's go dress shopping! Most wedding dress shops will have plenty of dresses for you to choose from and will have various gowns for various types of wedding celebrations. Some of my favorite online stores for elopement dresses are Azazie, Lulus, and Anthropologie!
5 Months Out
This is a big month in your planning, and when things start to become more real. You've got the dress and we're getting close to your Glacier National Park elopement. Now we're going to start booking a hair and makeup artist (if applicable), a florist, and travel accommodations! If you're traveling from a different state consider looking into airplane tickets, car rentals, and hotels to stay in. The sooner you get this booked is another huge task off of your plate.
4 Months Out From Your Glacier National Park Elopement

3 Months From Your Elopement
While planning for your elopement, month three is when we make some big exciting plans! We're going to start shopping for all things wedding day accessories. Start looking for your dream shoes, jewelry, and any other accessories you want. After start discussing whether or not you'd like to have a wedding party with your partner. Maybe it's an intimate elopement with just the two of you, or with close family and friends. Lastly, make a dinner reservation for a post-elopement celebration!
1 Month From I Do!
At the one-month mark, you'll probably start hearing from your vendors to begin planning your timeline. You'll discuss a timeline with your destination elopement photographer to fine-tune the ceremony timing as well as any other special moments you have planned. As well as discussing arrival times for any other vendors you've booked.
