Pick Local Bali Wedding Vendor For Your Bali Elopement
Even if it’s just the two of you exchanging vows, I highly recommend considering some vendors for your elopement. Having a planner to help you plan the event will be very helpful. A lot of elopement planner in Bali has its own packages that include venue fees, decoration, priest, etc. After you’ve picked your vendors, connect with them, and tell them your Bali elopement vision.
Make Your Marriage Legal in Your Home Country
If you are eloping in Bali, I highly recommend that you get married legally in your hometown and then have your elopement day be symbolical and be the day that you say your vows to each other and commit your lives together. By doing this you will save a lot hassle and keep your elopement day as stress-free as it can be! Or you could process the paperwork after your elopement in Bali.
Pick Your Wedding Attire
For this one, make sure to check what you’ll be doing in your attire before and after your elopement ceremony. If you are going to elope at the waterfall, rice fields, or mountain I would suggest wearing something light and flowy so it’s easier for you to walk around. Choose what suits your style and the location.
Make Your Elopement Announcement by Hiring Bali Elopement Photographer
This is the most important thing to consider during your Bali elopement. As you will get married by just two of you and sometimes few people, you need to make an announcement to your other families and friends. By hiring an experiences Bali elopement photographer you are able to share the most beautiful moment that your relatives can’t miss. It’s also so important to hire a photographer that gives you a sneak peek few days after the session as you will need few photos right after you elope, to savor the magic of the amazing thing you just did.
