Kim + Lelani
A Hope Valley Elopement
“Roses are red. Violets are blue. The leaves have fallen, like I have for you. It is really amazing when you find your person. The one that gets you and allows you to be yourself. To stand naked (figuratively and literally) without any judgment but only feel love and acceptance. A year and a half ago, I found my person. You burst into my life with all the passion and energy that is quite simply, you.” - Kim to Lelani
Eloping in the mountains of California is truly a breathtaking experience. The stunning backdrops of rugged peaks, lush forests, and crystal clear lakes make for an unforgettable wedding ceremony. Whether you choose to exchange vows on a mountain peak or in a cozy cabin nestled in the woods, the natural beauty of California's mountain landscape will make your elopement all the more special. The quiet serenity of the wilderness ensures that you have privacy, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the moment and the person you're marrying. Plus, the chance to explore the surrounding scenery together as newlyweds is an adventure you'll never forget. Eloping in California's mountains is a romantic and unique way to begin your forever with your soulmate.
If you're planning a California mountain elopement like the beautiful K & L, there are a few things to keep in mind to make your perfect day. First, choose your location wisely and research the area beforehand to make sure it's easily accessible. Next, embrace the natural beauty of the mountains by incorporating local florals and greenery into your décor. You'll also want to dress appropriately for the weather and terrain, so consider comfortable shoes and layers. Hiking shoes and a wedding dress are a totally vibe, and something you should defiantly embrace!
