Elopement Timeline & Easy Tutorial To Create Your Relaxed Day

We’re so thrilled for you to be planning an elopement timeline! But maybe you’re like most who haven’t ever been married before or don’t even know what an elopement day could include. Wondering what to do on an elopement day? Well, take a deep breath because we got you with our simple elopement timeline guide. 

Hey lovely, we’re Lumalia (Emmy) and Team, elopement photographers and guides. We’ve been at this crazy adventure now for 11+ years and counting. We’re so excited for you to be breaking the mold and crafting an elopement wedding day experience instead of just hosting a party. So, let’s jump in… What do you need for your elopement timeline? Simply put, your elopement timeline could consist of these elements or aspects: 

  • Getting Ready
  • First Look (a.k.a. the first time you see each other in your wedding garb)
  • Ceremony + Vows
  • Family & Friend Photos
  • Celebration or Reception
  • Activities (You could also include some epic adventures like a canoe ride, hot air balloon tour, or beach side fire picnic. Really any activity you love.)
  • Plus all the snacks in between because “hangry” never looks good on anyone.

Elopement Timeline Or Small Wedding Timeline Elements

Let’s break down these elopement timeline elements further. What could all of these elements look like and more importantly what should they look like for your elopement wedding day?

Elopement Getting Ready

bride getting ready at the best time after she followed this elopement timeline guide

You wake up: it’s your wedding day–yes! Now what?…Well, get ready, get dressed… Sure, but what about this instead:

 

You wake up before sunrise, press play on a yoga class pre-recorded just for you and maybe your partner on your wedding day. You flow with the rise of the sun and greet the day with all its magic awaiting you. 

OR

You wake up before sunrise, grab your coffee, a good breakfast, your gear, including your pre-packed elopement wedding dress, chasing the morning alpine glow, you pause to gaze at the lingering stars. Slip into your wedding attire and have your first wedding day experience together as the sun peaks over the horizon, illuminating your sunrise elopement wedding day in wonder. 

(P.S. Check out our video on how to pack your elopement wedding dress!)

Ok, ok, maybe you’re not a morning person. I get it: my pillow is usually way more appealing than anything else. 

So what if your morning began with a warm cup of coffee snuggled up near a cozy fire or the ocean lapping outside your window? You start your day strolling around, catching the gorgeous views from your airbnb wedding venue windows or patio, soaking up the sounds of the birds singing their morning song, smelling the salty air or pines blowing in the gentle breeze. You take your time to get ready. Maybe have a hair and make up artist come pamper you. Zip up your dress with your bestie or mama. Then greet your partner just outside your rental home after you’ve both gotten ready. 

You get the idea here:

Make your morning meaningful and filled with the experiences you love.

Elopement First Look

You’ve gotten ready, maybe mid-morning, maybe for a sunrise elopement or maybe you’ve had the morning to linger and take the day in methodically. You’ve gotten ready, maybe with the help of a lovely hair and make up artist. You’re dressed, but you want to wait to see each other. 

As tradition goes, couples only see each other before the wedding ceremony. Many couples find this endearing and exciting to build up suspense to see each other. Just because you’re eloping doesn’t mean you cannot have this experience too.  In fact, you can take your time because you get to craft your timeline, not your dinner menu or guests needing your attention.

But instead of seeing each other for the first time at the ceremony (especially if you’re more of an introvert), it can be helpful to have a sacred time for just the two of you before even your small crew joins you for the ceremony. 

First looks are a great time to exchange a note with your partner (not your vows or promises, but a good old fashioned love letter), a wedding gift or just spend some extra time adventuring together. 

Elopement Ceremony Structure

For your elopement timeline, you’ll want your ceremony to include a time to exchange vows and rings. Depending on your place of elopement, an officiant or elopement minister may have some words before or after and you may need to sign your marriage license. 

If you’re eloping in Colorado, you can marry yourself. Head here for elopement ceremony script or self solemnizing script for Colorado elopement weddings!

Elopement Ceremony Ideas

When crafting an elopement timeline, most couples just think: ceremony = exchange vows + rings + officiant has to say some legal stuff and sign a license. 

But what if your ceremony contained a piece of sacred magic or religious practices for you? 

What if this was a cherished time to not “get the thing done” but a time to step in deep –together.

Even if you aren’t religious, there are many sacred or meaningful acts you could perform to make your ceremony even more special. Here are some common ceremony rituals done throughout history from different cultures across the world. While we could write a whole other blog post about this and the history behind each one, we’ll leave you with some ideas to inspire you and let you find the meaning behind these for your story.

Elopement Timeline Elements: Friend & Family Photos

Since we know that elopements don’t always mean no friends and family, it can be a fun time to include photo ops with everyone. We’ve even had couples who have a wedding “cabinet” as they called it to join them for part of an adventure where we took photos of them all hanging out in their first look elopement location!

Just because you’re having an elopement doesn’t mean you cannot have photos with your besties. 😉 In fact, we say toss out everything you think you “have” to do and start creating a day full of what you really want. 

Elopement Reception Timeline or A Time Of Celebration

bride and groom celebrating with their family and friends after eloping

Guess what, your elopement celebration or a reception doesn’t have to be on the same day

Instead of trying to stuff everything into one day, why not embrace the art of Celebrating Again. 😉 

Have an elopement reception or wait until you can have an epic dance party with all the guests you maybe didn’t or couldn’t have at your ceremony. 

So, how to celebrate after eloping? You do you.

Life’s what we make it...We’re here to empower you to do this with your wedding day too.

Elopement Activities

Wondering what to do on elopement day? Or how to plan an adventure elopement?

If you ever wanted to go on a grand adventure, try something totally wild like a hot air balloon ride, take a jeep tour through the highest alpines, rock climb, sky dive, helicopter ride, or any other grand adventure, why not do it on your wedding day? 

But maybe you’re not the adventurous type, and sitting by a warm fire or taking a stroll along the beach is perfect for you.

  • Private helicopter ride to a remote location
  • Canoe or rowboat
  • Romantic picnic packed by a personal chef
  • Standup paddle boarding
  • Rock Climbing
  • Repelling
  • Hiking
  • Hot air balloon ride (we’re also Albuquerque New Mexico, elopement photographers!)
  • ATV ride
  • 4×4 Jeep tour
  • Snowboarding
  • Snowshoeing
  • Cross country skiing
  • Private yacht rental 
  • Pontoon boat rental
  • Beach side camp fire
  • Backpacking
  • Camping
  • Celebration by a fire
  • Stroll down the streets in a mountain town or city downtown
  • Brewery hopping
  • Dance clubbing
  • Bike riding 
  • Tandem bike riding
  • Playing basketing ball or any sport you love together
  • Putting together puzzles
  • Sitting some place beautiful with your favorite books
  • Reading poetry together
  • Drinking craft coffee
  • Walking along the beach
  • Exploring waterfalls
  • Driving alpine roads
  • Fruit picking
  • Exploring corn mazes

Consider your dream elopement together. What would a perfect day look like to you? Not sure? 

Don’t worry! As your elopement guides, this is what we can help you with too!

Skipping Hangry

Lumalia (Emmy) and Team, what is “hangry”? It’s hungry + angry. It’s a real thing! (Okay, it’s not an actual medical diagnosis, but we all know what I’m referring to, don’t we?) And we don’t want you or your partner to get hangry on your wedding day.

Pro Tip: Pack snacks and plan for meal breaks throughout your elopement day. We love stasher bags specifically for packing snacks without adding single-use plastic.  

Considering Your Whole Day Elopement Experience

Ok, so you now have a good gist on what your elopement timeline could include, but one thing we really want to encourage you on is considering your day as a whole day experience. 

If you didn’t start your elopement planning with dreaming this would be a good time to press pause and let that inner dreamer take over. 

What do you want to feel, taste, see, smell on your wedding day? Let these sensations guide  you to knowing what to include and do on your whole wedding day.

Pro Tip: Elopements give you the gift to not just be about your ceremony and reception, but about the whole day experience.

How To Craft Your Own Elopement Timeline

Set 1 Decide On Your Elements + Activities

Use the steps above to decide on what elements of an elopement you want to include on your wedding day. Then consider what activities you want to do and when is the best time to do those activities.

For example: Hikes in Colorado are best in the morning as thunderstorms roll in in the afternoon. So if you want to do a hiking first look it’s best to do it earlier in the day.

Your elopement photographer and guide can help you with these tips or a tour guide.

We also have this great list of 25 ideas for how to make your elopement special!

Elopement Wedding Day Timings

You can expect these different elements to take roughly these amounts of time listed below. Don’t forget to allow for travel time, unexpected traffic and accounting for time to gear up.

Getting Ready: 30 minutes – 2 hours (longer if you’re having hair and make up done)

First Look: 20 minutes – give yourselves time to just be together

Ceremony: 10-60 minutes most will average about 15- 20 minutes

Receptions: 1- 4 hours

Elopement Day Activities Timings

  • 4WD Jeep tour: 2 – 8 hours
  • ATV/HOV Riding: 4 – 8 hours
  • Hiking: 30-60 minutes per mile
  • SUP/Canoe/Rowing/Kayaking: 1 – 2 hours
  • Hot Air Balloon Ride: 1 – 2 hours
  • Helicopter Ride: 1 – 2 hours
  • Rock Climbing/Repelling: 2 – 8 Hours
  • Building A Fire: 15 – 30 minutes
  • Meals: 30 – 60 minutes
  • Time to do nothing but enjoy the beauty of your day: 30 – 60 minutes

Step 2 Understand Location, Weather & Lighting

Social media really has given us so many false expectations for life and especially for what the weather can be like outside in these epic locations. 

Make sure to do your due diligence to understand what weather to expect at your locations.

For example: In Denver the sun might set at 8pm but if you’re in a valley with mountains around, the sun will go behind the mountain around 6pm. Where as the sunset is the best on Cannon Beach. If you’re having a forest wedding, different times of day will look different under the canopy.

Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t worry we got you, friend. Not only are we elopement photographers, but we also guide you through making sure we schedule and account for all these factors! 

Step 3 Craft Your Elopement Wedding Schedule

Once you know the best time for your activities and lighting you can start to use those to then decide when is best to have your ceremony and celebration or reception.

Elopement Ceremony Structure

While you really can craft your elopement ceremony to be whatever you want using our element suggestions, here are some basic elopement ceremony structures. We’ve put an asterisk * on what is optional. 

  • *Precessional (walking down the aisle)
  • *Welcome
  • *Readings (from parents, a meaningful poem, scripture, letter from someone unable to attend, etc)
  • Vows
  • Rings
  • Sign Marriage License (this structure is variant upon your elopement location) 
  • Pronouncement
  • Kiss

Elopement Reception Timeline Samples

Now for your reception timeline, here is a quick sample (don’t worry, we’ll give you full elopement day timeline samples below too!)

  • Start with a bang (sparklers, poppers, bubbles, local leafs stuffed into a popper…just be mindful of your environment to Leave No Trace)
  • Give speeches or read letters from family and friends who couldn’t/didn’t attend
  • Give a toast or reminisce about your day together
  • Enjoy a meal
  • Have first dance
  • Cut your cake, or pie, or cookie 😉 
  • Take time to relax and enjoy

Step 4 Make A Plan B & C

While we always hope your elopement timeline goes as planned, it never hurts to have a plan B and C if weather arrives or something goes wrong. We like to approach all of life as “prepare for the worst and expect the best.”

Sample Elopement Timeline Examples

Now to the elopement examples! Hooray! Here are some real life elopement timelines we’ve done over the years. We hope this will help you get an idea for what your elopement wedding day experience could look like

Keep in mind that when asking how many guests at an elopement, the count is usually less than 30 people, otherwise you tend to be hosting a party instead of focusing on your experience.
