A FREE-SPIRITED AND IDYLLIC INTIMATE ELOPEMENT IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
featured designers
vagabond + The Label by a&bé x anna bé
not to brag, but this blog is 100% proof that both a minimal fitted wedding dress and a romantic ball gown wedding dress can BOTH look bomb at the same wedding venue. we know it’s a touchy subject, but we truly believe that you select the vibe for your wedding based on the dress you love. you can wear simple and sophisticated in a grassy field. you can frolic in a meadow with a tulle train trailing behind. hell, you can buy two totally different wedding dresses a change after the ceremony. our biggest ask is that you don’t let silly wedding “rules” get the best of you. follow your heart. trust your gut. wear the damn dress.
the granite cliffs of yosemite loomed as these two glowed in genuine elopement excitement. from getting ready in a vintage airstream at auto camp to their intimate reception dinner on a golden lit wood deck, every elopement detail was simple, but held onto the whimsy of a wedding in the remote wilderness of the sierra nevada mountains. we love the mix of traditional bridal style and modern wedding design this elopement styled shoot brought. ‘MCKINLEY’ by The Label by a&bé x anna bé stood out among the tall grass and sequoia trees. this scoop neckline wedding dress with thick straps and a fitted crepe bodice presented timeless wedding charm while the natural california setting hinted at the trendy floral reception dinner to come. on the other hand, ‘kahlo’ by vagabond leaned into the soft beauty of this yosemite elopement. the dreamy el caption meadow served as a picturesque ceremony spot. from lounging in layers of tulle to holding tight to a bright white dried floral bouquet, this relaxed california wedding ceremony is full of awe-inspiring mountain elopement ideas.
if you’re daydreaming of eloping in the mountains. here’s another styled shoot that's sure to become a favorite on your wedding mood board.
