A Budget-Friendly Fall Garden of the Gods Elopement

Imagine your wedding costing less than $2,000? It is entirely possible in Colorado. You can have a magical wedding day with your closest loved ones feeling amazing and get gorgeous photographs all within a tight budget.
You will need:
+ a free location — like Garden of the Gods. (totally free and no permit required)
+ an affordable dress — there are loads of options, like Reformation, BHLDN sale rack, ASOS, Christy Dawn, Lulu’s, or other small boutiques.
+ book your photographer by the hour — I have a two-hour minimum, and if you are on a budget, we can get a lot of things squeezed into two hours, and this wedding below is a two-hour elopement.
+ get flowers at a local shop — I always recommend hiring a professional florist for your wedding bouquet, but if it isn’t in the budget, grab a bunch of fresh flowers from Trader Joe’s or a local flower shop, hop on youtube to figure out how to make a pretty bouquet, and then make it yourself.
+ support a local restaurant — make reservations at a local restaurant for your dinner reception, and while you might incur a private room fee if you let them know it’s a small wedding reception, if you are okay eating at a table like everyone else in the restaurant, you can save money that way. Also, you can order takeout and eat at your Airbnb!

You can have an EPIC wedding (did I mention that they traveled in from Oklahoma, so this is also a destination wedding!) at an affordable price! If you have any questions about this, I am passionate about helping couples have an amazing first day of marriage without spending tens of thousands of dollars — I am here to serve!
