Big elopement flash!!

SecretlyEloped, 17 April, 2014 at 16:31 Posted on Planning 0 25

Nearly 1 month to go now! This is my first proper flash because OH and I have been so relaxed about booking and organising everything I didn't really have anything to flash with!! I'm trying to be more on the ball now as the stress is getting to me! So here is the first glimpse into our elopement day...

Ceremony venue:

Our witnesses will be Chelsea pensioners:

Dress:

Suit and tie:

Rings: (but mine will be in rose gold not yellow gold)

Drinks at the bar and wedding transport!!:

photos in Paris - inspiration:

Evening meal in Paris:

Wedding night hotel:

    It all looks lovely, I like the Paris photo shoot. Will you be travelling in your dress? Wonderful idea having Chelsea pensioners involved, how did you come across that idea?

    Thanks everyone, it actually feels quite strange seeing it all together - interestingly not what I thought we would end up with!!

    Yes - I'm a bit nervous about travelling in my dress just for the comfort side of things but it will just be taxi's and the Eurostar so I'm hoping it will be fine. I chose a light weight dress without any volume so it's easier. We actually saw the pictures of couples using Chelsea pensioners when we were looking at photographers and when we contacted them they were really lovely and happy to be involved!

    I think that travelling in your dress is just wonderful. Will you be taking a photographer with you or do you have one there? Excuse all the questions but I'm genuinely interested in your wedding!!

    I think including the pensioners is just lovely and I can't wait to read your report.

    We are having a photographer join us for the whole day - this was really important to us because it will be how we share the experience with our family and friends and I'm sure they will really like to see all the pictures.

    It's really lovely hearing that other people are interested in our plans because I know it's not what most people would choose themselves!

    You're right, it's not what most people would choose, but it does look so exciting and romantic. It being so unusual is probably what makes it so fascinating - to me anyway. I know you have put a lot of planning into it, but there just seems something so free and spontaneous about hopping on a train to Paris in your wedding gown. Just lovely. It wouldn't be the right choice for me, but there is something so precious about this being YOUR day and no one elses.
