The Top 10 Wedding Accessories You Need!

Wearing a veil during an elopement can be a major statement piece. There are tons of veil options for you to decide to pick from chapel veils to fingertip veils. We personally love veils because they create fun portrait opportunities while surrounded by nature. We are huge fans of the effect cathedral veils have in pictures.

One thing you want to keep in mind is where you’re eloping. If you’re eloping somewhere extremely windy, then be careful to pin your veil down securely to your hair, or else your veil will fly away. Also, be careful with longer veils on your adventure. We recommend carrying your veil during your hike or putting on your veil right before your ceremony together to avoid your veil getting stuck on anything.

“These boots are made for walking” should be your theme song when searching for your wedding shoes. Elopement brides are free to wear any shoe they want, but we love it when brides opt for the adventurous option and pick hiking boots. There is nothing more fun than seeing a bride in her beautiful wedding gown, hiking in her wedding boots!

From chunky heels to hiking boots, we got you covered. Check out our favorite wedding shoes, perfect for any weather.

Are you wondering how to find the perfect shoes for your wedding? Here are some tips:

• Consider what activities you will be doing.
• Wear comfortable shoes during your hike and change into your chunky heels when you get to your destination.
• Consider opting for a waterproof shoe if you’re eloping during the winter, rainy season, or near a waterfall.
• If your dress is super long, then don’t stress about what shoes you’re going to wear, and pick something that’s comfortable!
