Luxurious Mediterranean Elopement Inspiration

April 24, 2022 | riley

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.

Beautiful and Epic Moab Elopement

April 23, 2022 | riley

Rugged rock formations, bottomless canyons, towering sand dunes, and sweeping desert views— Moab is best known for its otherworldly landscape and endless opportunities for elopement adventures of all kinds. With the expert planning of photographer and Junebug member Shutterfreek and the Desert Rover crew, there was no shortage of beautiful scenery for this epic Moab elopement

They kicked off their all-day adventure with a jeep tour and a pre-ceremony photoshoot against striking rock arches before getting dressed to the nines and renewing their vows. With the open desert landscape as a backdrop, Jasmyn and Travis reaffirmed their commitments to each other at the luxurious Glamping Canyonlands. And on a dramatic overlook with panoramic views of the canyons, this elopement inspiration turned vow renewal, wrapped up as the sun started to set. 

If you and your partner have been dreaming of the perfect elopement filled with gorgeous scenery and epic adventures, then scroll through these jaw-dropping photos for inspiration! 

Junebug Member Shutterfreek’s Thoughts On This Epic Moab Elopement

A Moab elopement seems to top couples’ adventure destination bucket list. Within this distinct desert terrain are endless possibilities for adventurous couples. We wanted to showcase what it would look like to have Shutterfreek and Desert Rover teams—along with an amazing vendor team—plan, style, outfit, and execute a full day of adventure in Moab with a deserving couple celebrating a real vow renewal.  One of the key things we’ve learned about an elopement like this is that as long as “adventure” is at the core of everything that transpires, you can’t go wrong. The actual marriage ceremony itself is just the icing on the cake after a day filled with incredible experiences.

What It Was Like Working With Shutterfreek And Desert Rover 

Our experience with Paul of Shutterfreek and the Desert Rover team was nothing less than delightful. They did an awesome job piecing together so many variables and showing how capable they are. Every aspect of the adventure was thoughtfully planned and coordinated. Our adventure with Desert Rover always kept us on our toes. It is amazing how much they were able to put together while capturing all the amazing footage and pictures along the way. At the end of the day, they are just good, honest, open-hearted people trying to create one-of-a-kind experiences of a lifetime.
