Elopement or wedding elopement : what is it?

Getting married in Paris just the two of you: yes, it’s possible.

More and more couples are looking for an authentic wedding and organise romantic getaways in Paris.

 

Elopement, what is it? And is it made for us?

We tell you everything in this article!

 

Where does elopement come from?

Like many trends we see in the wedding world, this one is no exception. It also comes from the United States. Remember those weddings in Las Vegas!

The elopement – to elope means to run away – has obviously evolved over the years and has been exported everywhere. Those intimate weddings arrived in France only about a decade ago.

 

Why organize an elopement in Paris?

Nowadays a wedding project is a real couple project. Couples organize a wedding at their image. It’s no longer a simple ceremony followed by a good meal and a festive evening.

It’s a story that is told through this wedding day. For some couples, this story will embrace 50, 100, 200 guests. For others, it’s a story that will be told to a handful of guests or even just the two of them: these are the elopements.

They are often organized to escape from family pressure, when family meetings are sometimes tensed. Or to enjoy the day, which is not necessarily the case when you invite 100-200 people.

It can be simply a desire for intimacy. For some couples, sharing this intimate moment is not an option.
