Imagine staying in a private and luxurious architecturally designed off-grid eco-suite for two located in the heart of the incredible Fleurieu Peninsula region.

Truly an incredible experience for your birthday celebrations, right?

But what if you upped the stakes (pun intended) and decided to elope while you were there?

How do you start planning for something like that and what sort of timeframe do you need? This was Aaron and Steph’s experience in planning their birthday getaway turned elopement earlier this year.

From what to wear (be sure to check out the Unbridely Instagram feed for photos of Steph’s showstopping Zimmerman dress), to who to tell, when and how, the newly married couple share their thought process.

You’ll learn:

·   the significant advantages of mid-week elopements,

·   their budget,

·   and also how they made sure that their immediate family didn’t feel disappointed or left out when they revealed that they’d already gotten married without them.
