Overwhelmed by planning a big wedding? Maybe eloping is right for you!
Eloping used to have a bit of a negative connotation. Years ago, it implied a rushed or even secret marriage. However, nowadays elopements are such a popular trend! The downsized wedding is a great choice for so many couples and for so many reasons. Cutting down on budget, waste, and stress, eloping may just be the option you are dreaming of! Janessa White from Simply Eloped joins us to talk about the benefits of eloping, and why so many couples are choosing this route.
