For Soul and Sky Weddings, the inspiration began with a question: what if a vow renewal could be more than a ceremony—what if it could be an immersive adventure? To bring that vision to life, the team designed a two-day experience that would feel both authentic and unforgettable. Jasmine and Vince, who truly renewed their vows on the ice, became the heart of this story. Instead of a traditional venue, they chose a remote Alaskan glacier, where glacier glamping transformed wild terrain into quiet luxury.
What We Love About This Glacier Glamping Vow Renewal

- A vow renewal in an amphitheater of towering ice walls
- Intentional details like cozy twinkle lights, charcuterie, and a glacier-inspired cake

Redefining Luxury in Elopements
This vow renewal was built around a simple philosophy: the experience itself is the most beautiful detail. “Not many people can say they exchanged vows on a glacier,” Jasmine shared. She remembered the helicopter ride, the hike across the ice, and even raising a toast with glacier water: “When I say there wasn’t a single moment that stood out above the rest, it’s because everything was unforgettable. It was all magic.”
Rather than focusing solely on aesthetics, Soul and Sky Weddings designed a journey where immersion became the hallmark. From falling asleep under the midnight sun to waking slowly in their bell tent, every part of the glacier glamping stay felt personal and unhurried. Couples planning elopements can take note: extending celebrations across more than one day gives space to slow down, savor, and create core memories.
A Ceremony Among the Ice
For their renewal, Jasmine and Vince trekked from camp to a natural amphitheater of glacial walls. Their guide led a unification reading before they exchanged private vows as meltwater trickled nearby and sunlight broke through the shifting clouds.
Fashion was chosen with adventure in mind. Jasmine’s fitted lace gown with dramatic sleeves paired perfectly with platform boots and crampons, while Vince’s modern, breathable suit balanced form and function.
JB Tip: If your elopement takes place in the elements, prioritize attire that allows movement without sacrificing style.
Creating Comfort in the Wild
The glacier camp was more than shelter, it became part of the design. Twinkle lights, soft blankets, and cozy slippers transformed the bell tent into a haven. A charcuterie spread and a glacier-inspired cake, flown in by helicopter, made the experience even more special. “Camping on the glacier was, without question, the most unforgettable part. Kate transformed our tent into something magical—she filled it with flowers, strung twinkle lights, and made it feel like our own little world. For a while, it was as if time stood still,” Jasmine recalled.
The florals echoed that same practicality and thoughtfulness. “Kate approached me knowing she needed designs that could withstand the cold and be used in multiple ways,” florist Natasha Price of Paper Peony Florals explained. “I chose durable blooms like roses, strawflower, thistle, limonium, and wax flower, along with hardy greens like eucalyptus. The garland was my favorite piece—it was lightweight, versatile, and could move from the tent to the railing to the cake table. Seeing it used in so many ways was incredibly rewarding.”
Glacier Glamping as the New Adventure Luxe
Day two highlighted what makes multi-day elopements so special: unhurried time together. Jasmine and Vince went for a hike in the surrounding mountains and ended the day with another cozy evening in their glamping tent. “At least three different times Kate reminded us to pause, breathe, and simply take it all in. Those moments are etched into me forever.”
This slower pace allowed them to fully experience the wild beauty of Alaska without rushing. As Soul and Sky Weddings explained, this is the future of elopements: exclusive, deeply personal, and stretched across days so couples can feel present in every moment.
More than a styled shoot, this vow renewal showed how focusing on the experience itself can feel like true luxury. Glacier glamping provided the backdrop for moments Jasmine described as unforgettable: “Honestly, I can still remember every detail. Nothing else will ever be engraved so deeply into my memory.”
JB Tip: Consider extending your elopement beyond one day. Whether it’s a welcome dinner, a day of adventure, or a simple hike together, more time means more memories.
