What it means to elope has evolved over the years. And with more couples choosing to forego the traditional wedding route, destination elopements are having a moment right now. But just because you and your partner have decided to say “I do” just the two of you, doesn’t mean that you can’t have the luxurious wedding you’ve always envisioned–especially when you have the right vendors by your side. This Mediterranean elopement inspiration shows us that you can totally have your (wedding) cake and eat it too.

Set in a historical estate with breathtaking sea views, lush gardens, and a grand Art Nouveau Spanish mansion, the talented team came together to showcase the beauty of the venue and grounds of Xalet del Nin. Asymmetrical floral arrangements by Natalias Events wrapped around the mansion’s columns framed the couple’s vow exchange. While the reception out on the balcony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea featured a glam tablescape of peach and white centerpieces, a hanging floral installation, crystal chandeliers, and gilded details. 

On top of that, the couple was dressed in elegant attire. The groom looked sharp in a classic suit while the bride stood out in her fit and flare strapless gown with sheer corset and tulle cape. From the gorgeous venue, romantic details, and sophisticated fashion, these incredible photos captured by Sierra Katrina Photography are all the inspiration you need for a luxurious elopement!

Photographer’s Thoughts On This Mediterranean Elopement Inspiration

This styled shoot featured romantic floral arrangements climbing the Spanish villa, champagne waterfalls at golden hour, an illuminated tablescape, and our couple sharing dances and small kisses under the stars. A secluded wedding on the Mediterranean that’s intimate yet doesn’t sacrifice a luxurious atmosphere. The Xalet del Nin is a newly renovated wedding venue that every couple has their eye on right now, and we’re obsessed with it.
