What do you actually need to bring for your elopement?
It’s a question I get asked all the time—and today, I’ve got answers.

In this episode, I’m sharing everything you should pack for your elopement, from the absolute essentials to the emotional little extras that make the day feel complete. Whether you're eloping in the mountains, the jungle, a city, or abroad—this guide will help you feel prepared and at peace.

🎒 Here’s what we cover:
✔️ What to pack for every elopement:
→ Vow books
