Destination elopement in new zealand!

Just enjoy your time! It truly makes wedding planning easier when you can elope. I have been to a few small intimate weddings where the couple decided to elope and those have been my favorite!

Awesome! Congrats on your decision.

I've seen pictures of an elopement on a top of a mountain somewhere in Europe (might have been NZ but can't remember) anyway, the pictures were THE BEST wedding pictures I've seen, so unique and the perfect backdrop. Good choice!

That sounds very exciting. I've always wanted to go to NZ. Good luck with your planning!

Isn't it such a relief when you make a huge big picture decision? Now you have more of an idea how the day will look like! Your plan sounds sooo dreamy! Congratulations!

Which part of NZ are you going to go to? I'm from NZ, now live in America. Winter can be beautiful also, but just be aware that it will rain a lot over winter. The South Island has some great winter destinations, the mountains and ski fields, the alps etc. Where I grew up in Auckland it rained frequently over the winter months. But late autumn/early winter hopefully wont be as wet, just cold.

View Quoted Comment We’ll be in the southern part, the company we’re going with (heli weddings) is based out of queenstown. i told my FH that i’d be fine with late spring or early fall though! i was thinking maybe late november ish?

View Quoted Comment Oh nice! That is a great place for winter activities, weddings included. It would snow there rather than have much rain. Also Queenstown has a ton of activities to do, it is designed for the adventure tourist. I know you will have a great time there. November will be the start of winter, so be prepared for cold - especially if you go to the mountains. You will have some amazing photo opportunities there. I wish you all the best for it

Oh. my. gosh. This is going to be so beautiful. Please share a BAM post when you return home!!

View Quoted Comment Wait really?? everything i saw said winter was like june-august

View Quoted Comment Oh i definitely will!!

View Quoted Comment OMG I'm sorry, i cant believe I messed that up. I guess I have been in America too long! I was thinking about January and Feburuary being the months O avoid being back home, and without thinking about it figured it was because of the cold. Actually I avoid that time because of the heat! I feel like an idiot now, sorry about the confusion. I know that the seasons there are opposite that of America, but I guess I have been so focused on getting married in December, during winter, that I forgot to switch the seasons up. This is the first time I have made this mistake lol

View Quoted Comment LOL it’s ok!!! i was just worried there for a second, no problem! ☺️
