Winter Forest Elopement at Meadow Creek Farm

This wooded, winter elopement at Meadow Creek Farm was so inspiring. It was the perfect example that you can have an elopement without forgoing all the wedding details. I never want elopements or intimate weddings to be equated with "less than". Though they are more simple and focused by nature, you can still have any details you want. From getting ready outside to enjoying desserts at a secluded sweetheart table amongst the trees, this winter elopement captivated the relaxed soul of an outdoor winter wedding with unmatched style.

I was honored when Chelsea of Blooming Branch Creative asked me to be part of her vision for a winter forest elopement. Her creative touch was felt in every aspect and she pulled together an amazing team of vendors that created some serious magic.

If you’re planning a winter elopement or small wedding but have a desire for all the pretty details too - it’s definitely possible.

Reach out to an amazing wedding designer, because you truly can have both.

A lot of couples avoid planning a winter wedding because they think it’s not possible or won’t be enjoyable. But outdoor cold-weather elopements are some of my favorite! I’m creating a journal post all about tips for eloping in the winter so stay tuned!
