An intimate elopement inspiration starting with a sunset and ending under the twinkling starlight—we can’t think of a more romantic way to tie the knot. This talented team of wedding professionals, organized by From Sophie With Love, brought to life a dreamy sunset desert elopement in Brüggen, Germany. The perfect inspiration for couples looking to say their “I do’s” under the stars.
From the elegantly draped string lights to the non-traditional cactus cake topper—there was no detail left untouched. The bright white linens, the vibrant orange decor accents, and the pop of green cacti perfectly complement the muted desert background. The decor, by Dekodesign Wittenberg, transformed an ordinary location into a jaw-dropping elopement space. Proving the ceremony location isn’t of the utmost importance, but rather what it becomes with the help of your talented wedding team.

If eloping is the trend, then let’s make it a grand one. Opting for an adventurous elopement, BriAnna and Katlynn headed to Yosemite National Park to elope in the most hopelessly romantic way possible. With laced, chiffon bridal gowns, matching white boots, and their daughter as their witness, this couple planned a beautiful day with mountain views and a park all to themselves.
They ended their sunset excursion with champagne popping cliffside as the sky turned purple—perfection. Whether you’re looking for yet another excuse to whisk away and elope with your partner or not, grab your boots and let’s go hiking with Junebug member Kylie Farmer Photography to Yosemite National Park. These photos are too good to pass up.
The Couple:
BriAnna and Katlynn
The Wedding:
Yosemite National Park, CA
Planning Sunrise To Sunset
The most important part of this day was planning how we were going to do our first look. Since we were doing it at sunrise, we had to really think about what time to get up and where to get ready. We stayed in a camper at AutoCamp, which we highly recommend. Kylie helped with all of that, and it went smoothly for the most part! I got ready in the camper with our daughter, and Bri walked up in the dark to the lobby bathroom to get ready.
Our Eternal Vow
The most memorable part of the day for the two of us was definitely when we exchanged our vows on the top of the mountain with the sunrise peeking through. It was such a magical moment and feeling.
Elopement Wedding Advice
My biggest piece of advice would be to not get too stressed out about your planning. Remember that this is simply a celebration of the love you have for each other. Stay in the present and enjoy the planning. The day comes and goes so fast! Choose what is most important to you and do just that.
Why They Chose A Yosemite National Park Elopement
California holds a special place in our hearts. We got engaged in March of 2019 on the coast of California in Mendocino. We knew we wanted to be surrounded by the beauty of trees and mountains, and Yosemite just felt right.
DIY Bouquets
We were looking on Pinterest and Etsy for artificial bouquets because we didn’t want to go through the hassle to find real ones out in California. Plus, we didn’t know how we’d preserve them before we went home. Since we paid for everything ourselves, we weren’t able to afford the Etsy bouquets we loved. Then, I had an idea to try and make our bouquets! So I masked up, went to the nearest craft store, and bought flowers, filling, twine and ribbon. They survived checking them on our plane, hiking with them all day, and shoving them in suitcases, and are now a keepsake.
Congratulations to BriAnna and Katlynn on your beautiful national park elopement. Shoutout and thank you to Junebug member Kylie Farmer Photography for sharing this day.

An Oeschinen Lake backdrop, surprise letters from friends, and a champagne shower lakeside—Marine and Antonio traded an already planned, large, and traditional wedding for a picturesque neutral palette elopement with views that made an hour-long hike worth it. The wedding planner, All You Need About, focused on details—from the neutral color palette to timeless floral arrangements, by Rieder Fleurs—that made Marine and Antonio’s dreamy elopement uniquely theirs.
After exchanging I do’s, Marine dressed in an elegant Made With Love Bridal lace gown, and Antonio opted for a champagne shower. The couple then celebrated their new life together with a bouquet toss into the lake. Photographer and Junebug member, Cécilia Hofer Photography, did an incredible job capturing what made Marine and Antonio’s big day special.

Whoever said eloping has to be outside was sadly mistaken. This elopement embodies all of the elements of Paris—love, beauty, and romance. And the bridal gowns—a princess gown with a deep plunge and a form-fitting, ornate mermaid dress—are très chic to say the least. This indoor elopement styled by Through the Glass Paris and The Paris Elopement is proof that couples can elope glamorously indoors regardless of the weather, or a global pandemic.

Wedding Planning Advice
Planning your wedding day should be fun and exciting, even a micro wedding, it should not be something that makes you stressed. If you don’t have enough time and don’t know how to start, think about engaging a wedding planner
Why An Indoor Parisian Elopement
We would like to inspire couples so that they think about the indoor possibilities for their elopement in Paris. In autumn and winter, for example, the weather might get too cold to do the ceremony outside. You can just elope anywhere you’d like, such as an indoor venue like a Parisian apartment, Haussmann style building. You can still achieve chic and stylish vibes
What’s Paris Without Love?
We loved seeing the wedding exit with confetti come to life while our brides danced, enjoying their time together, and sipping champagne.
Thank you again to Through the Glass Paris for sharing this indoor Parisian elopement inspiration with us. A big shout out to the talented team on their incredible work.
